Well Trump probably may have stumbled into an important legal point. After 9/11 Congress did essentially declare a "World War" with the "Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Terrorists." However technically that was focused on Al Queda yet both the Bush and Obama admin have extended it to mean pretty much any terrorist group. In 2015 Obama tried to get Congress to pass a broader AUMF and to include ISIS but Congress stalled because both sides just didn't want to deal with it.
That being said, I seriously doubt Trump knows any of that.
