burn

It must burn him so bad on the day that he personally chased down and strangled al baghdadi and then threw his wrecked corpse onto a roaring fire of driftwood and kerosene that Americans would treat him like that.

Short version: Trump almost sabotaged the CIA and Kurdish efforts to defeat ISIS with his dumbass withdrawal of our foothold in Syria, but the CIA and Kurds were heroic and put their lives at risk to kill al-Baghdadi before it was too late.

Trump treats the Baghdadi raid like a TV show.

– Says US forces killed him “in grand style”

– “I got to watch much of it”

– says Baghdadi “died like a dog,” “as a coward running and crying,” “spent his last moments in utter fear,” “whimpering and crying and screaming”

Trump said White House didn’t inform Pelosi or members of Congress because it would’ve leaked and leaks could’ve meant US special forces killed. But WH did alert Russia, Turkey, he says.
