In case you haven't noticed, Donald Trump's got jokes. Lots of jokes.

When he called on Russia to find Hillary's missing emails he was being classically sarcastic. When he said that "Second Amendment people" could do something about Clinton, his former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski called it "a joke." Most recently, Trump corrected those who were upset by his claim that President Obama was the founder of ISIS -- it was merely another example of sarcasm.

Trump, of course, has previously backed up his comments about Obama and ISIS, saying, "I meant he’s the founder of ISIS. I do." How can something be both literal and sarcastic? Simple. It just can. Stop asking about it.
