[Ellipsism]

In the first official remarks by the group referring to US President Donald Trump since he assumed office, spokesman Abi al-Hassan al-Muhajer said: “You (the US) are bankrupt and the signs of your demise are evident to every eye.”

“ ... There is no more evidence than (that) you being run by an idiot who does not know what Syria or Iraq or Islam is,” he said in a recording released on Tuesday on messaging network Telegram.

Mr Trump campaigned heavily on defeating Islamic State.
