If @realDonaldTrump had informed the @TheDemocrats of his intentions to raid Al-Baghdadi. @IlhanMN would’ve immediately informed @QatarEmbassyUSA who would notify Mohammad Masned and @A_AlAthbah to notify Baghdadi. Trump knows this well, so do: @VickyPJWard @alanbender1965.

Trump's tweet about a dog: dog whistle to racists who know dogs are considered unclean in Islam?

There's always a few asshats on both sides of he aisle.

Bill Maher got taken off the air for saying the 9/11 hijackers weren't cowards lol

If only journos were that brave.

ISIS thanks you.

ISIS thanks Trump for allowing 800+ of their captured fighters to escape so they can get back in the fight

For what? Mocking Trump, who would lead you to believe that he's actually responsible for the everything that happened during the raid while he sat safely in the situation room.
...

There actually are indications that he didn't even sit in the situation room when the raid took place, but that rather the photo was staged some time after the raids success (and that Trump actually was golfing at the time of the raid )

At least Obama had the sense to spend his conference thanking the men instead of wasting the time talking about himself, like trump did.
Which he even managed to lie about. Check out his claims about what he said. (multiple times)

ISIS thanks you.

And don't forget all of his claims about how right he was about how Osama should have been killed back in the days. Which most reputable new sites have debunked already.

So, who has been central for the US success in killing AL Bagdadi?

The population group who has been abandoned by Trumps USA ... the Kurds.
It was kurdish intelligence (that even continued after the Kurds were betrayed by the USA) which allowed the US troops to locate Al Bagdadi

In addition it seems like the Kurds themselves were able to locate and kill a close aide to Al Bagdadis

In contrast to this it was Trump who actually endangered the whole operation. Trump himself knew a month in advance about the planned OP to kill Al Bagdadi
and his abrupt decision to withdraw the US troops from Syria (which wasn't announced in advance to the US Generals) actually threatened to turn the operation into a failure (from the first link)

Surely something Trump should be told every time he starts to boast about "his sucess" in killing Al Bagdadi

So who's the new head of ISIS?

[rah]

Do you have any actual quotes for us to judge by, or are we expected to take your word for it?

I thought he sounded like a senile old man during that self promotion news conference. He kept repeating himself like he couldn't remember that he said something already 5 or 10 minutes prior. How many times could he claim to be right about Osama.
