The orange man did a press conference this morning and said that the leader of the Islamic State (ISIS) Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, was killed after a daring military raid by American forces into Syria. The orange man further claimed that al-Baghdadi cried like a bitch before killing himself in a tunnel by detonating a suicide bomb vest.
President Trump, announcing the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, described him as dying “in a vicious and violent way, as a coward, running and crying.”
“He died like a dog, he died like a coward,” Trump said in a speech to the nation Sunday morning.
The ISIS leader’s death came in a successful U.S. military operation in northwest Syria Saturday night that took roughly two hours.
The Islamic State leader detonated an explosive vest as U.S. Special Operations Forces stormed his compound in the Idrib Province. Trump said he died whimpering at the back of a dead-end tunnel.
He also said the U.S. had al-Baghdadi under surveillance for weeks.
I have no idea if any of this even happened. Although, the story of this raid at least sounds more plausible than the alleged raid that supposedly resulted in the death of Osama Bin Laden some ten years ago. That entire story smelled like rotten bullshit from the start.
What was interesting is how the orange man said that the raid couldn’t have happened without the cooperation of Russia, Turkey, Syria and the Kurds. So maybe that’s a sign that we are seeing some good will being generated behind the scenes? Hard to say, but I did find that item somewhat noteworthy.
Hoax or not, this does give the orange man a talking point for the 2020 election. He can claim that he was responsible for destroying ISIS and killing its leader and say that people should vote for him because of that.
