I know they use it, but i dont think the effect is a very big oneIn today's time, you can use every single statement to make propaganda for anything.
I have seen people succesfully painting merkel as a left wing extremist, obama as a mad warmongerer, Putin as an Icon of peace and so on.
The people who let themselves be recruited by ISI are first and foremost usually stupid or very naive. It's not like they factcheck whether some Us politician has actually said something or in which context.If its not trump, they take anyone else.
They just dig out the iraq war or say obama killed people in lybia, yemen and pakistan, and they run by it.
The guys they recruit are usually the same type of guy who commits mass shootings in the us.
The thing is, as i said, that the muslims in the US are less suspectible to it. The whole structure of the islamic community in the US is different than in europe.
French muslims have very little in common with muslims in the US.
For example, there are (to my knowledge) no muslim ghettos in the US, however, those are the areas where most of the recruitees come from (molenbeek in belgium, the french banlieus, malmö in sweden and some parts of the netherlands, also the worse areas of london and other british metropolis).
Thing like that simply are not there to that extend in the US.
And for those people outside the US, this is a major factor. Which propaganda u feed them and how true it is is much elss important.
The only area where trump would have partially negative consequences is the muslim world, but i would doubt the extent is very high for the suspectible groups. They hate the US anyway.
The reason why ISIS was afraid of europe taking refugees was less that people suddenly like the west, but more that people were fleeing from their reign.
isis financed itself with robbing people, and the more people fled from their areas and the areas they could potentially occupy, the less money they could press out of them.
The people who are too smart to be lied at about the evil US and who would only actually condemn the US if trump was president are usually not the people who'd join isis in the first place. I think the threat of trump bringing them significantly more recruits is not very big.
Obama (and rest) probably actually did the bigger mistake here by not stabilizing lybia enough after the invention.
We may also not forget the, in the beginning, ISIS got a lot of their arsenal from the iraqi military (by stealing it).
It is very irrelevant what the US does in inner politics, the important question is the status of the middle east , and this one will be pretty horrible no matter who is the next president.
