Donald Trump has said that "no one will be tougher" on terrorism than him, but new analysis from Foreign Affairs magazine shows that ISIS — the terror group Trump has pledged to eradicate — is actually hoping for the Republican nominee to win the US presidency.
Foreign Affairs analyzed ISIS' online channels and interviewed a dozen supporters and defectors to reach its conclusion. The magazine found that "jihadists are rooting for a Trump presidency because they believe that he will lead the United States on a path to self-destruction."
Malcolm Nance, a terrorism expert and veteran military intelligence officer, offered a similar assessment after a terrorism debate at the Comedy Cellar in New York City last month.
