What was the context?
Is Trump trying to say that Iran is probably playing both sides in order to hedge its bets?
And, given that Trump is not going to win either the nomination nor the general election, does it really matter?
Trump's value is as a lightning-rod and cattle-prod to be used against the political leadership on both sides of the aisle for decades of politics-as-usual.
Hell, at this point, he could say that the Grand Poobah of Iran is in cahoots with Leon Trotsky, and nobody would care.
That's just The Donald being The Donald.
Fun, while it lasts.
"Believe it or not, Iran is funneling money to ISIS, too,”
Would any nutbags like to explain how you can support someone who knows so little that he'd say something like that?

Why would you doubt that? This does not sound so far fetched. In fact, some generals have said the same, and I would think they know a little more than a poster on USMB.

It is pointless to try to reason with clowns like them."Believe it or not, Iran is funneling money to ISIS, too,”

Well now that you have such a real established history as a LIAR it's worth asking. So what was the context?I think it's funny that someone asks for context when it comes to a Trump quote. He is unable to maintain a train of thought while speaking....he darts from one point to the next......issuing qualifiers and self-serving caveats along with every statement he makes.
Pay attention.....you'll see what I mean.
ALL the clowns, ALL of them.It is pointless to try to reason with clowns like them."Believe it or not, Iran is funneling money to ISIS, too,”

Just from a really quick search, I came up with this for you.
Trust Iran Only as Far as You Can Throw It Foreign Policy
Yet American veterans of the decade-long Iraq war and occupation say that the idea is both preposterous and dangerous. Iran, they maintain, has long played a double game in Mesopotamia and the Levant, both enabling Sunni extremists to infiltrate countries such as Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon and then swooping in as the only safeguard heralded against the very forces they helped unleash.
Another high-ranking retired U.S. military official, who asked not to be identified by name, told FP: "Ansar al-Islam, the people who eventually became al Qaeda in Iraq [the forerunner organization to ISIS] — where’d they come from? They came from Iran. They traveled from Iran through Iraqi Kurdistan and then through Mosul before moving south through Al Sharqat and then Tikrit." The official added: "Iran ran a very subversive campaign against Saddam long before we got into that country. And we were dealing with those same lines of communications before we got there. Look what they’ve done to the Levant, to Lebanon a couple times over. They’re even in Gaza."
Col. Rick Welch spent roughly seven years in Iraq, and worked directly under Gen. David Petraeus during the surge and "Anbar Awakening" period, acting as a chief U.S. military liaison with both the Sunni tribes and Shiite militia groups that were integral to containing what was then a roiling civil war.
"Back when we were getting intel from Iraqis at every level in our reconciliation program, they were telling us that Iran was funding any group that could keep Iraq chaotic," Welch said."Back when we were getting intel from Iraqis at every level in our reconciliation program, they were telling us that Iran was funding any group that could keep Iraq chaotic," Welch said. "They did not want to see democracy in Iraq. They were keeping us tied down and were preventing the [post-Saddam] government from functioning in order to create the cover to let them to get their intelligence assets in place, especially in the south, and then influence the government piece by piece. That was not conspiratorial in nature; it was a deeply held conviction and perception throughout Iraq, and throughout the U.S. military."

Its not far fetched at all. Iran is all about Iran and taking over the world.
LL just wants to make fun of Trump and call out his supposed ignorance.
Seems LL is the ignorant one in the instance.
