"A brutal killer, one who has caused so much hardship and death, has violently been eliminated," Trump said in an address to the nation from the White House."He will never again harm another innocent man, woman or child. He died like a dog. He died like a coward. The world is now a much safer place.""Al-Baghdadi was vicious and violent and he died in a vicious and violent way. As a coward running and crying," Trump said.
The president described al-Baghdadi running into a dead-end tunnel,"whimpering, crying and screaming the whole time." He also confirmed that the ISIS leader detonated a suicide vest that he was wearing and killed himself and some children. There were no American troops wounded, but a military dog was hurt when the vest was detonated, Trump said.
U.S. special forces nearly killed him in August 2017, destroying a compound south of Ragga in which he was believed to have been during a massive bombardment. The following month, he released an audio recording to prove he'd survived.There had been a $25 million U.S. bounty on the head of al-Baghdadi, who, in his only previous video, recorded in a Mosul mosque in 2014, called himself"Caliph," or leader of all Muslims.
The president said American forces were in the compound for about two hours after the mission and collected sensitive information.This is a breaking news story. Please check back for updates
But only Trump could get it done. Yeah. He thinks we’re peanut brains like his followers.
“Trump makes announcement in regards to isis Chief, Al Baghdad’s...” Russia disputes Trump’s Video and Said Russia killed Al Baghdadi in 4/4/2014.
the man took himself and his 3 sons with a suicide vest. It's all been recorded the president saw it all.
Unless you were born yesterday....This is 'BIg News' why?
This is just to one up President Obama. Nothing else and trump will never in his small minded existence will that ever happen.
So we need to just wait till he drops a video?
I'm wondering if all this is just deflection. al-Baghdadi has been reported as being dead several times. You don't think this is a hoax do you?😉
Some people criticizing the military for taking body parts back(after he blew himself up while cornered). To stop this nonsense that he's not really dead!
Trump will say he planned and directed the attack himself as the generals and pentagon didn’t know what they were doing
So why should we believe Trump now? Did they really kill al-Baghdadi this time....this 'time' being one providing a major distraction from impeachmenthearings ? With all of his lies, who in the entire world can take him at his word?
Bad reporting by third parties. This time the US military handled it and confirmed the kill! 🤯🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
sure, since there is no technology in the world to fabricate audio or video, that is exactly what has happened...
IRONIC HOW THE FOOL JUST PULLED TROOPS OUT OF SYRIA SAYING ISIS WAS ALREADY DEFEATED ....AND HE ABANDONED OUR ALLIES TO BE SLAUGHTERED.
I don't believe him.
Bin Laden was way worse than al baghdadi. But if course trump thinks the opposite.
Liberalism is a mental disease
Well, the good news is you won't see him again, he is in hell.
More winning. Thanks Trump.
I couldnt resist looking again at Obama announcing the killing of Osama Bin Laden. What a difference!
What's the point of tweeting this trying to undermine Trump
Did PresidentTrump Really Killed alBaghdadi?

Well you guys are really on that story… Old news already.
listen i aint taking trumps word for anything
So in other words it doesn’t matter, move on then.
Current gang meeting in private to try to take over into a dictatorship or spy’s would be made pubic that committe says exists
feedback? go pussi
We all know you would have leaked it through back channels to attempt to ruin Trump.
Like your tough talk with BarackObama
and there were no leaks...if the democrats had advanced notice this operation would not have been a secret...
Reporterroblang Quite frankly the Gang of 8 can’t be trusted with sensitive intel. They would leak the info and put our troops in harm’s way.
Adam Schiff. Always gracious
ThisWeekABC Blinded by hate... love will free your soul!!!
ThisWeekABC Schiff is a Devil
ThisWeekABC I agree 100 percent
ThisWeekABC Democrats are the party of war. Trump4Peace
ThisWeekABC Heh, who are the warmongers?
ThisWeekABC Loser.
ThisWeekABC It should sicken us all
ThisWeekABC Reporter: Did you notify Pelosi ahead of time? Trump: 'No, no I didn't. I wanted to make sure this was kept secret. I don't want to have men lost.'
He did that out of spite, a very petty man.
Trump just couldn't help denigrating SpeakerPelosi by suggesting she'd have leaked the raid. He taints everything he touches. A statesman would have spoken about nothing but the successful action.
Hello
What a cry baby...IT WAS A SECRET MISSION IDIOT. If you were or any of you informed it would have been leaked, and our service men in jeopardy!!!!GET OVER YOURSELF!
ThisWeekABC He’s basically handing his impeachment to us on a gold, silver, and titanium plate
He is trying to shade on impeachment hearing but alas he once again fails to understand the rules.
Resignation please
He tweeted a 'teaser' and then the WH leaked it last night. It was all over twitter within minutes of his teaser tweet. That should give him a clue that the leaks in Washington are coming from his own house.
So, let’s say hypothetically that somehow the mission failed. You’d never know, because tango balls wouldn’t inform the right people. And the wrong people could use it as blackmail and maybe, this has already happened.
It’s your bladder.
Very true! Demonrats ruin our country
This dog was the only wounded during the raid. However he is alive and will come out of it.
It’s such a leaking machine that you want to run for President again🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
If you can’t trust our own people you need to get rid of them !!!!
BS. Trump wanted to keep it secret until HE announced it.
Finally the PRESIDENT understands that Democrats hate him more than they love this country!!! Its a shame that we have come to this.
GMA DNA matches takes a little longer there realDonaldTrump. As this one to your VERY long list of lies!!
Was Hunter Biden getting paid as an oil consultant by ISIS too? Wonder how much they paid him..
This lying thug...'he was bigger than bin laden'(what's wrong with this guy?) didn't tell pelosi. He's going to hell people. A braggart is worse than a thief.
Umm you said it on Twitter last night. That’s where I read it...
Starting w/the leaker in the oval office.
The biggest leaks! The best leaks!
Can someone please bring in the hook- our fraudster commander & thief is ruining what’s left Sunday morning 😩
He's off cue and raving about himself and how wonderful he is. Time to go back to regular programming.
Why aren’t “His” Generals flanking him? Oh that’s right because He betrayed them and left our troops with their asses hanging out in Syria. He was completely surprised by this, wonder what the real story is? ImpeachTheMFTraitorAlready
Lol. Trump trying to promote his book in his phony speech full of lies. Such a con artist and liar.
Great news!
FOX 4 IN DFW TEXAS PREEMPTED THE PRESIDENT IF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE LIES AND FALSE TEACHING OF JOEL OSTEEN!! SHAME ON YOU FOX 4 SHAME ON YOU!!!
Drain the swamp!
How bipartisan, not one Republican even on the intelligence committee was notified this. So much for reaching across the isle to people understand top secret!
But he didn't have the guts to tell Pelosi. Coward. Bthe more he talks the more I hear John Lovitz ”yea, that's the ticket.”
President Trump is awesome!
Pic of war room please?
I bet he didn’t watch it or knew of the raid until it was over wait for a statement from Putin
He’s such a repulsive man.
But but but... I thought he said ISIS didn’t exist anymore ?
Is he actually plugging his book rn?! “I don’t get any credit for this but that’s ok”
realDonaldTrump takes the biggest softball 'take a bow' situation and totally turns it into a clusterfuk of a news conference.Hague may take exception to the thought that the oil is ours.Anyone explain to him that making these graphic comments will b used as recruitment tool?
Yet Trump is the one that has leaked top secret information in casual conversation...smdh
Good. We know which side the leaks are on.
So true Mr. President!
Blah Blah Blah 🤬
Never misses an opportunity to bash America.
Fake news
Note to self: Never again have a celebratory press conference while wired as fvck on Adderall. It is so very difficult to pat myself on the back, make up crazy sh!t and trash the black guy at the same time while tweaking. TweakerInChief
He is such a bull&*/er what a JOKE, He wrote 12 books, now he's talking a bunch of NONSENCE!!!
No words....pray for our country.
Great..... but the communicator sucks at communicating
The Clearest Picture, The best Video, yet I thought ISIS was already defeated so why are we even talking about this? Oh yeah, DISTRACTION
He is unfit for the presidency.
Fake news
'ABC News Source At The White House Anonymously States That There Is No Leak.'
Thanks to the military not you.
