Donald Trump campaign chairman and chief strategist Paul Manafort fired back at President Obama after he said the New York billionaire's comments about Islam are "ultimately helping do ISIL's work."
"He should be ashamed of what's going on in the world," Manafort said of the president. "The world is an unsafe place because of his failed leadership."
Manafort also defended Trump's comments about NATO. Last week in an interview, Trump suggested the United States should withhold military support for NATO countries that do not meet the military spending requirements if they were invaded by Russia.
"He was talking about the members of NATO have a shared responsibility," Manafort told ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos, saying the comment "wasn’t a mistake... Mr. Trump is saying it's a two-way obligation everyone needs to carry their own weight."
