He must have heard the kids

We don't need confirmation... Trump has 100% credit!

Details of a killing aren't necessary. It's outrageous talk from a president and mostly sounds like a made-up story. al-Baghdadi was member of cruel and murderous fight-to-the-end extremist group. They aren't cowards. TrumpUngovernable

Jesus who cares! He blew himself up with three children. Good way to explain the cowardly rat in a hole.

Who cares! This is your news post lol 😂

Trump said he exaggerated for his base TrumpanzeeDingAlings

Lies more Trump LIES

Is this the breaking News?

nbc is isis

Obama made it almost impossible to get these guys in the past. Using suits in Washington to make the decisions the generals in the field need to make. Just another way that Trump has slowly erased Obama's treasonous policies.

This is the 3rd posting of the same article in less than 5 minutes. Are you trying to flood the site with it using a source that was not even in the room

Lmao no shit how thats why i am calling bullshit

This president is constantly fabricating the truth - just tell the story like it happened.

I don't believe in the death of the Islamic state leader . I don't believe in Trump's!

But they were all watching the movie screen...

Anyone who was close enough to see that he was crying and screaming, would be dead now as well...the guy blew himself up.🙄

Irrelevant. That will be his legacy, those who follow evil will have their leaders die as cowards

Can they confirm Baghdadi is dead? After 3 years of constant lies and a staged photo it's not easy to believe Trump. And Russian News doesn't believe him either. So why did he thank them? You would thank it would be bigger news like when Bin Laden was killed.

Trump can't be trusted with any information, if that information was even factual. Everything he says will have ramifications but he's too ignorant and narcissistic to ever care. No one should tell him anything with details. Just as we wouldn't tell a mentally ill man anything.

Yawn.....

The Dog would have had video & audio capabilities attached to his K9 vest

Fake news. Enemy of the people.

He probably meant: Í would have been crying and screaming if anybody would chase me.....😉

Of course they can't.

Imagine that - seems like POTUS realDonaldTrump lied AGAIN

realDonaldTrump So the Pentagon can't confirm what you say.

I think he was not dead !

Maybe the Whistle Blower can confirm it for you.

Quite the Mystbusters, trust.

Ooh come on guys a little bit of spice for the president is allowed.. We love it in south africa 😂

who cares? as long as he's ded... and a successor will soon be appointed. 🤦‍♂️

That’s a shame. I’d still like to hope he was though

Of course not... It was a lie... Trump is incapable of controlling himself..

NBC's candlelight vigil for the terrorist leader continues. EnemyOfThePeople EnemyOfAmerica

What a surprise 😱

YOU ARE AN EMBARRASSMENT TO JOURNALISM.

Fake News

GutsyCall

Trump just stands there, throwing these balls for ya'll to fetch and run yourselves ragged, chasing all over the yard like idiots... when he faked and had it behind his back the whole time.

Wow NBC wants Obama’s boy back alive. Isis sympathizers right here folks.

We cannot confirm if NBC News is on our side or ISIS’ side.

It seems like NBC is officially an ally and advocate for terrorism.

No you bastards he was weeping with joy and happiness watching the dogs chasing him. That's why he took his kids along with him to watch the fun.

Take careful aim at your lies fake news nbc because the charge of treason will be coming for you and yours. The people know you stand with the enemy, always have, always will.

Pentagon just released breaking news. NBC goes crying and screaming on a daily basis because President Trump is winning!

If Trump had said Bhagdadi ran with his tail between the legs. You’d still have no idea where he got that information.

Who cares

☝️Above is the ENTIRE 1 PARAGRAPH article☝️ Nor could they deny it. It's still classified. 'American citizens cannot confirm ' claims that its reporters and editors are 'fair and balanced' before or after a report.'

I think the rivulets of tears and the sniveling drool shorted the circuits& triggered the vest bomb. KABOOM!

I will promote your fiverr gig on social media please check out

They don't need to confirm anything it's out there .. NBC is a joke

I’m not sure you are all aware of what this is all about. The way I see it, if we lose, we will be exterminated slowly, along with the Dems. They just don’t realize what has been going on in the dark. Once you realize what I’m talking about, you’ll agree.

Where’s his full statement?

THAT IS BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T THERE IT WAS MY EXPERIENCE IN THE MILITARY THAT PERSONNEL IN THE PENTAGON LIED AND SO DOES THE MSM AND SO DOES NBC

Really NBC You are standing up for a terrorist We know that you are against Americans 2000% now

Well he sure as hell wasn’t laughing and doing cartwheels.

Really? Would you be focused on such inanity if Obama said the same? How about reporting how the coward Baghdadi deliberately murdered three children when he killed himself like the whimpering coward he was.

Holy shit. You people are out of your damn minds. I hope he does declas some of the video so you can see what these cowards do when cornered by the US Military

Not positive, but it had to hurt. ..A LOT!

Trumps psychological warfare is a more potent weapon & more important than any operation and saves lives. Crazy liberals are now trying to defuse it and risks American lives. Epic fail and a mockery of USA

He made it up. A) he didn’t see it or hear it, B) special forces just don’t talk about their dead adversaries like that. So it’s not been said, Trump lies TrumpBetrayedOurAllies LockHimUp

Same as ‘no comment’ dipShit

NBC news supports ISIS.

Who cares

No he wasn’t crying. He was laughing and happy to blow up himself and his children

Sorry to hear that NBC stands with ISIS

Who the hell cares? The isis leader is dead. That's the bottom line.

Your next terrorist enough is enough.

Omg 😆..you people need a life..

Are you mad? You're taking the wrong side in this fight..

But you were ecstatic when mueller said that he couldn’t prove President Trump didn’t commit a crime... FakeNews

What's it like snuggling up with a dead terrorist? Asking on behalf of millions across the globe.. despicable reporting NBC. you ought to be deeply ashamed pandering to the Isis lovers ....

ISIS propaganda

NBC News defending the honor of a mass murdering, slave trading terrorist from 'Orange Man Bad'.

Why the such defense of terrorists?

Literally defending ISIS. I didn’t think the left could get any lower.

But we can confirm NBC is anti American.

Lifting up a murderous thug. Good job NBC.

Thank God there are news orgs committed to finding out such truths🙄 Is there ANYONE at your organization with the capability to recognize the dumpster fire you have become? Is there even one individual not wrapped up in this insane need to disparage the President? INeedAHero

They are working HARD to catch him on something right now...

Wow, erased my comment already? As I was saying, you worthless lying liberals.

We can confirm NBC has been crying and screaming all day though.

Real journalists here. Lets undermine everything that was achieved by our forces by attempting to 'fact check' if the target was crying or not. Give me a break 🙄

The guys dead! That’s the important part!

We can confirm that NBC employs sexual abusers like Matt Lauer and answers to Harvey Weinstein MeToo We can also confirm that NBC still employs Brian 'helicopter' Williams who was caught lying. Now we can also confirm NBC is sympathetic to ISIS You are the EnemyOfThePeople

Terrorist = dead. That's the only point that matters. KAG2020

And nobody should take you as a serious news organization either.

NBC News and the Washington Post are ISIS affiliates

I’m sure there was a war cry and screaming.

You mean they refused to tell you?

Does it occur to you people that maybe Trump said these things to demoralize the remaining ISIS fighters? Telling them their leader screamed and cried.... Just a thought.

they cannot confirm because small hands, fake hair, crook agentorange is dreaming realDonaldTrump . all he had to say was that he was killed , praise the people involved in the actions and shut up after that

Pentagon officials could not confirm that NBC is not fake news propaganda covering for ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in order to own the Bad Orange Man.

Hahaha American President is a story teller.

He could have died laughing for all I care, I'm just happy the bastard is dead.

'He died like a coward in a whole in the ground hiding behind children' is that better?

Sounds like the Babylon Bee

Once again he lies.

Well here's some petty, s**t😂

Listen it’s a given he’s lying we have to decipher what is true and what isn’t

There was probably “crying and screaming” but it wasn’t from the isis thug it was the other one

Lol Donald trump trying to make it sound dramatic 😆😆😆

ههههه

They will confirm it as soon tRump sends a memo reminding them all that’s he’s the cry baby in chief

Why is this important?

Lol

NBC taking the side of ISIS, we get it.

Right, cause he’s just trying to show some disrespect to spark some flames to a battle! He no good and likes putting us in danger, kick his ass out already.

And yet he still remains dead. No?

Does it matter if he was crying like a baby as the leader of ISIS? People who hide behind masks are all cowards as they commit crimes against humanity.

Trump is the only one that would Cry .. Scream ... and Wet his pants ...... he was to Chicken shit to be drafted ... BoneSpursDonny

Because the President is lying

Another Trump brainfart

Pentagon officials could not confirm Trump’s claims that ISIS leader al-Baghdadi was “crying & screaming” moments before he died BUT Trump said it was like watching a movie..BUT wait he was also on the golf course.. Perhaps Trump is hearing the voices in his head ImpeachTrump

It was an awful speech.

Of course not.

Defending the honor of Baghdadi to dunk on Trump is a great look.

Why should they advance trump's lies ? Our military are honest. They do their job without the bullshit from the white house.

Rember this?

FAKE NEWS!

And we should take your word for it? 😆🤔

I think they chant or out loud prayer before they commit to suicide to their maker...or worship.

Wait a minute. Fat Nixon stated the video was like watching a movie. The Pentagon couldn’t see this and confirm? Was this guy in the foursome behind Trump in the golf course?

Trump has a serious problem with the truth... He is obviously totally bereft of moral or ethical concepts... He must be impeached asap..

🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

息を吐くように嘘をつく自分選挙ファースト助平の守銭奴詐欺師でプーチンのポチトランプ。

....like a girl 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Just like that NBC defends a murdering terrorist TDS

Yeah we know.

NBC going into full fledge CNN mode. Where bullshit can be told it will be by the media. They are tabloids not the news anymore

Who cares!

This poor man.... patriot, serves his country, long career, holds a high rank... has to put up with covering the stupidity and self-serving bulls__t of this Putin-appointed, so-called “president”.

I'm pretty sure when a terrorist is being hunted down by special forces and k 9 hunter force they usually cry like cowards and often kill them selves .like cowards too

So what? Pentagon officials are bureaucrats. It's not their place to confirm or deny what politicians say or do. The president is in his right to use his killing of alBaghdadi in any way he wants. It's his trophy. Asking you to stop the fakenews is a waste of time. Go on.

Oh shit, you mean he committed lie 14,576? Shocker. POTUSFAILUS

Maybe they just don't want to confirm it. Trump was watching the whole thing unfold so Trump knew what was happening.

I have never seen or heard al Baghdadi saying or doing anything. He has almost not existed within the media. No videos, no messages of hate - nothing.

Lol shocking that the POTUS is again caught in a lie

You can’t confirm the sh$t he makes up.

I bet Trump.... LIED!

Mostly because that man has never cried before so he wouldn't know.

Of course not. They didn’t want to call the “commander in chief “ a liar. So sad, really.

LMAO

This is the BS , creme puff , beautiful Chocolate Cake 1/2 truth style Trumpters love about Trump .

👏🏻Because👏🏻he 👏🏻made👏🏻it👏🏻up

'Journalism' 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

If he was wearing a suicide vest that he detonated then there wouldn't have been time to scream anything

Hey Sherlock al Baghdadi was using three children as human shields. I’d make an educated guess that the crying and screaming was from the children.

Really NBC there's nothing better to report than to confirm Baghdadi was screaming & crying ! Move on ! Who cares ? He deserves to die after all what he did. Do you guys have to probe more for what ?

I think the headline will read, 'POTUS Trump was crying & screaming after the confirmation of his impeachment & ignominious removal from office'.

Was it a fake mission? was he dead weeks ago? Did turkey or Kurds kill him? Was trump phonecall to Turkey the sale? Remove U.S troops let Turkey take N.Syria land in exchange for al Baghdadi? So many questions

We all know where that came from... Someone’s little brain...

LOL! The video doesn't deny that it was true. All this video showed was that General Milley assumed Trump got this from the unit members and the General hadn't yet spoken with them. But that all doesn't matter, what matters is the fact the media will find a way to attack Trump.

He just made it up, like he makes up all of his 'facts'. Not a single word he says can be believed.

Because it didn’t happen

They don’t have to those that aren’t fools know the truth.

Another cook up story by the media

The person who wrote this tweet will one day look back on it as one of the least productive things that he or she ever did in their entire life.

Fucking seriously.... this is what you want to report on the situation? If literally anyone other than 45 was at the helm, this would be a celebration.... but noooooo, can’t do that. Let’s pick apart the details instead.

It don't matter, all that matters, he is dead .

Let me translate: “realDonaldTrump lied, again.” 🙄

Bombing the house for 3 hours which killed everyone including kids then collecting the remains of bodies.

All Trump. He had to lie in an attempt to extra-sauce the moment. What a clown.

Lies... why would they confirm lies?

rolandsmartin He wasn’t.

It's really hard to understand why trivial things like this matter to you.

Of course they couldn't because here's a hint... He doesn't KNOW what happened because he wasn't in the room when it happened! He is just making up stories to rule his base up. LiarInChief

POTUS lied? Oh my

Don’t worry about it, when we heard it, we knew he was lying anyway. Ijs! Don’t wreck y’all brain in trying to figure out where he got it from. Smh!

Trump says what ever he likes he has no filter or brain and can’t sting a sentence together which only antagonises people 👀🤡😓❤️🇺🇸

IKR 👍🏻 ICYMI:

Who care he died like the dog he was

Just another deadbeat donald lie. Lock him up.

Donald lies constantly. Donald tries to belittle others, especially when he's trying - unsuccessfully - to make himself look better. Donald has sociopathic and narcissistic personality disorders. He's a sad, pathetic excuse for a human.

Cause he wasn’t.

This guy’s had the worst week of his career. And he’s seen action on the battlefield.

Trump always exaggerates

Trump deal with Erdogan Trump allowed Erdogan to advance thirty kilometers deep into Syrian territory Erdogan gives Trump a hiding place for ISIL leader (Abu Bakr Baghdadi)

Of course it’s going to come out that Trump’s depiction was BS. Who expects anything different?

Could not? Or would not? Might be sound operational reasons for the latter

Hey dipshit! This guy went on to say that he had not even seen the video yet and also that he coul not comment on it until it was cleared to do so.

*Did not confirm OR deny the report ... FakeNews assholes.

rolandsmartin There were children with him; if anyone was crying, it may have been them.

rolandsmartin I hate how we have to pretend we don't know he was just making shit up.

he was dancing and singing

Who cares? This is pathetic news at its worst.

Are there anything truthful coming out of President Trump?

You are your own worst enemy realDonaldTrump

Lol... My God you people....

I wonder if it was the children, and Trump simply couldn't resist embellishing the story because he really really really gets off on belittling people.

Also not confirmed if al Baghdadi was drinking a Mr. Pib, chucking his Hustler mags in the bushes, and running with toilet paper on his sandals...🙄 LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder

Fake News...always rooting for Americas enemies...

I don't care what he was dint at the moment of his death I care he was caught and now gone to his own demise. unlike Osama bin laden who was supposedly killed under Obama with out evidence

Only the dog knows but isn’t telling. Republicans Democrats Philosopher

General? Can you confirm that the presidents pants were in fact actually on fire?

mrplannings

Could Pentagon officials confirm that your attempt to discredit Trump instead of reporting on the actual story is unpatriotic?

So, supports ISIS? hmmm good to know. FakeNewsMedia

Big shock...he embellishes AKA Lies...and it added nothing but disgusting macho aggrandizement

He’s a liar!! It was probably the little kids but not the bag daddy! That is... if there was any screaming and crying at all.

Then why was he allowed to say that? This isn’t reality TV? 🤔

Confused, because weren’t they watching it in the same room, per the picture and the Presidents description when he said he watched it like a movie? Also read that audio as the available from the drone view.

Only because it didn't happen most likely. When has Bone Spur ever told the truth?

TRUMP's an UGLY MAN! USATODAY latimes nytimes VanityFair FT WSJ Reuters guardian CNN TIME TheEconomist business chicagotribune Forbes businessinsider FortuneMagazine orlandosentinel FoxNews nypost voguemagazine cosmopolitan ELLEfashion ELLEmagazine

Would we ever have thought that the Pentagon would be asked this question, ever?

Because it was a lie. He is entire statement was embellished to make Trump look good for doing nothing. Stupid red MAGA hat wearing fools believes him. The US should fear stupid Americans more than Russia.

Is that impeachable?

I’m sorry this is happening to you. Donald Trump is your President.

Phew! Now I can sleep tonight. Well done, 🙄

OMG.... really? Now this. Can we just be grateful that the head guy of ISIS is dead and NO American was hurt killing him? Thank you American soldiers! Thank you President Trump for your decisive decision making.

Self sabotage

For fuck's sake. Its a madhouse, a madhouse!

Oligarchy here we come

😅😅😅 This is what the liberal media concentrates on

NBC hating on Trump. Zzzzzzzz

A Big BS from Trump !!

He's projecting again.

Who cares? Was your father crying and screaming before he died? You killed some freedom fighters you proabably trained and equiped. Big whoop. Now lets get back to training and equipping more terrorists so we can have a big jerkoff session in a few years when 'we got him' again.

The two men looked like fools.

NBC News hung up again on a non-story.

Because it didn’t happen. Trumps take on what happened sounds like a story a 10yr old would repeat, out of context, from a story he heard his daddy tell. Trumps handling of this situation is at BEST amateurish and just a damn embarrassment to add to the rest of his embarrassments

Why does he have to always lie even when he’s actually part of something good ? SICK

That is because you cannot confirm a blatant lie

C’mon NBC! Ya’ll are better then this, right?

Because he was... LYING?

It would be fair to report that Donald Trump made up stories about the attack

Why is this even a news?

Are you suggesting another lie from realDonaldTrump

It's a lie everything he says is a lie he made something up even his statement don't believe any of it
