President Trump asserted that Iranian Gen. Qasem Soleimani was plotting to blow up a US embassy before he was killed by a US drone strike last week

Washington President Donald Trump on Thursday asserted that Iranian Gen. Qasem Soleimani was plotting to blow up a US embassy before he was killed by a US drone strike last week, later saying that the Iranian general was threatening multiple American embassies overseas.

"We caught a total monster. We took them out. And that should have happened a long time ago. We did it because they were looking to blow up our embassy," Trump told reporters. "We also did it for other reasons that were very obvious. Somebody died ... people were badly wounded just a week before. And we did it. We had a shot at it ...

What ever happened to “Fatwa”

SNOWFLAKES:Liberal, Socialist Dimocrats never cease to amaze. They r distraught over the assassination of a known terrorist who is responsible for the deaths of thousands of American military/civilians yet they kill babies without a tear in their eyes. Relect POTUS Trump in 2020

Another lie to try to justify his impulsive move!!

Let’s see proof of this. Oh wait you can’t prove imaginary stuff.

I’ll just leave this here

Potus credibility is nil Killing Soleimani was his way of diverting attention from his impeachment, w dire consequences His reckless decision not only brought us to brink of war, but inadvertently could've caused the tragic deaths of 176 souls Congress must take its' power back

It's heart breaking that we hold out children to a higher standard than the President. If our children get in trouble in school and change their story when asked you know they are lying and you punish them. Why is this not true for a man who could launch a war at any time?

That's what the Intelligence Agency's tell him.

WHERE IS THE PROOF? TRUMP STARTED A WAR WITH FABRICATED BS AND BROKE INTERNATIONAL LAWS. I SAY GIVE TRUMP PENCE, POMPASS, MCCONNELL AND BARR TO IRAN LET THEM GET THE TRUTH OUT OF THOSE FASCIST REPUBLICANS.

CNN seems to not be on the side of the USA

No way. He was really a peaceful dairy farmer who was abducted and forced to plant roadside bombs that accidentally killed American Soldiers.

Here we go let’s make up something where is the proof? show us Americans and then we will believe

Why is this still a story? Trump killed the 1 terrorist in the world. I dont care if he was going to get ice cream. He needed to be dead. Why is there such a backlash from CNN and MSNBC? Why are you morning Solimini more than any American soldier? Just sickening!

Again the unproven, unsubstantiated WMD story! How can the Americans be stupid enough to trust their reps & gov't now?

Liar!

He simply makes answers up as he goes so they fit the situation.

Evidence please....

BS, as long as it fullfills his narrative. He is gonna keep lying. And keep feeding us lies

There is absolutely zero chance he was plotting to blow up a US embassy. That would be suicide and would immediately have started a war. Soleimani was a terrible human being but he wasn’t an idiot.

Okay let’s just see the evidence and we’ll stop hounding you. That simple.

It is hard to understand why anyone would doubt this evil man’s intent. Soleminani was a purveyor of death

Of course he would

Questioning the manner in which Trump conducted himself does not mean that they mourn Soleimani's death. We have already had one president lie to us to start a war that to this day is still raging do we really need another?

Believe that, and I have a trump tower Moscow condo to sell you!

And his Sec of State says ' there was a plot....we don't know where or when but there was a plot'

They certainly weren’t delivering Girl Scout cookies

Not true, especially if it’s coming from our intelligence. Remember, Trump is the one who doesn’t trust US intelligence, but all of a sudden, “We The People” are suppose to believe his intelligence analysts because it fits his narrative!

Still no proof of any coming attacks. Hey and look almost 20 years later, still can’t find WMD’s. Don’t be sheep just following what he says! He is known to lie ALOT!

Ok sure bud

There are now too many trolls on Twitter for it to be a credible place any longer. Real people realize the Constitution is being spit on by Trump; aren’t upset Qassem is dead, but concerned our so-called leader made such a radical decision w/o going through proper channels.

To hell with IRAN. they have ALWAYS hated the United States.

Funny, but for some reason he has no credibility.....

If Trump said it then it must be true - said no one, ever.

More lies!

That's a big lies we all know you the truth

That’s the excuse. I heard he was planning on stealing a table of Girl Scout cookies.

So the RALLY gets to hear the INTEL on the general but NOT CONGRESS OR THE SENATE?

Was. 👍 Not Is! Got it? Good enough? WHAT!!

When you tell so many lies no one believes you when you tell another strategic lie. Your legacy is based on Lies and untruths

Where’s the proof?

At least we can take his word for it. I mean this is the guy who reduced cancer rates too.

The hate for the President of the United States is unreal. A dangerous slope for us people. Divide and conquer. Half the country is defending a terrorist who aimed to destroy us. It’s not that complicated people. Wake TFU!!!

Where is the evidence !!!!!!!

Says the nan with a Pinocchio rating of 91%. 🤪

🙄

Bullshit as usual from POTUS

Now Soleimani plans a long lasting society with the devil👊🇺🇸

If Iran shot down the 737 with all those innocent people on board, isn’t that an act of war? Are we all just going to take this as collateral damage and say this is tit for tat and acceptable? Trump Iran BOJO sort it!

He need show the proofs

There are 1007 freeclinics across 49 states treating low income earners with health and dental issues. Incorrect to say that insurance only way or best way to serve low income population. Clinics located in poor areas funded by grants charity shoukd be expanded

Trump is trying to convince of what he did wrong!!!

Article should read. President closing in on 14000.... lies.

God bless President Trump

Maybe - maybe not! - after all, it’s a Trump statement. They’re riddled with contradictions and straight out lies.

And Guiliani had no part in this either, huh? Other important, little knowns..The MEK has made no secret of its goals: to provoke a war between the U.S. and Iran.

He may was crazy. But you must be foolish.

I bet the evidence has gone missing already. Computer error no doubt 😂 utter fabrication

Well, it wasn't just Trump who said it. You (CNN), NBC and WP also said it. Don't fucking back-track. You knew what kind of shit was going down. Soleimani was killing people and Trump stopped him.

I don't believe anything he says.

What if we turn the tables? Iran sent a drone n killed Trump because they hv intel that Trump was plotting to kill their General to start a war and win the election. Iran refuse to show any proof but says, Trust me.. our intel is good.

Lair

Except we all know that the only thing that was 'imminent' was Trump's need for a distraction from the Senate impeachment trial.... Now the deaths of 176 people are directly on his hands.

Def a lie

Now that their base is gone the and is full of casualties!!!

What so now you’re not trusting US intelligence? Preety obvious he didn’t make it up

What proof does he have to defend such clam

Really? Wonder how many more plams like that are in the world?

True 🇺🇸

He’ll say or claim anything if he thinks it will toss the blame onto somebody else. It wasn’t me! I wasn’t there! Ya can’t prove anything! My grandma told me to Never argue w a liar or fool, bc I could never win, they’d just keep spinning! 45’s the posterchild of both adjectives.

Superb liar

Was he laying the charges himself Unlikely so wouldn’t it have made more sense to take out the cell laying the charges.

He a liar!

Asserted? I think you meant LIED!

liar trump

This was a show, to run for re-election and distraction from his impeachment. If the impeachment is so fake face it like you got nothing to hide instead of throwing some grade school level insults

Well as nothing he says is true, may as well just chalk this one up as a lie too 🤷🏼‍♂️

This has ‘distraction’ written all over it.

TRUMP2020Landside

Proof ? Evidence ? Intelligence gathered ? Don’t tell the public but must inform Congress. Trump’s officials refuse.

Why would anyone doubt that ? Do you think he was in Iraq to negotiate peace ? Oh....CNN would.

In a related story Trump plans on blowing Putin.

That only took half a week... I just hope all those millions of people in the street vowing to take up his cause don't get any ideas..... Probably not I'm sure taking out the 1 guy makes everything ok now...

Qualify by adding, Trump the habitual liar said,.....

STabbytosavit AN ABSOLUTE, ADULTERATED, AFTER-THE-FACT-MADE-UP-TO-COVER-MY-ASS LIE. Given such a claim CD NOT BE CLASSIFIED, had it been true, US would have been told it. IMMEDIATELY. IT PROVES😠has NO RESPECT for ALL Americans...& believes GOPs & his Base are idiots cuz they'll eat up such BS

The evidence is where?

Maybe it’s the US embassy in Nambia 🤷🏽‍♂️

Wish we could kill him again and again for every soldier in the US military that he harmed. That would be justice.

STabbytosavit If this were remotely true, Senators would have seen the supporting intel yesterday. Instead, they walked away enraged by team Trump's lame cover-up. Next.

Waiting for another mass of people to sue CNN for the damage and death caused by CNN's intentionally false reporting. Also waiting for someone to storm into CNN, tie everyone up, then broadcast ACTUAL News from that station. 😮

We not not always agree or even like him but we should agree he got rid of a cold blooded terrorist with American blood on his hands. We should celebrate that people

If this is true, why didn't the Trump admin officials say so right away?

The reason why Iran backed down is probably because they shot down a passenger plane by mistake. They showed they’re incompetent at war UkrainianPlaneCrash WWIII

remembering US LIES & PROPAGANDA'S to attack for attacking IRAQ 👇

loser

Seeks to divert public opinion by making big lies. but he made a mistake - a huge mistake

Thank you Pres Trump for being a man and doing what the last 3 stooges in office were afraid of. MAGA

So if he was plotting, where are the people he was plotting with? they can still execute his orders right? So trump lies again.

If it was days away, killing the General would not change it. Again, even GOP members know it, but are falling in line.

Pres. Trump, advisers face mounting pressure to justify Soleimani attack intelPresident Donald Trump announced Wednesday that no lives were lost after Iran fired ballistic missiles at two Iraqi bases housing U.S. and coalition forces overnight. Trump said the U.S. would add new sanctions on Iran, but seemed to seek de-escalation. Meanwhile, Trump and his advisers are facing more pressure to provide justification for the airstrike that assassinated Iranian Gen. Soleimani. Senators and congressmembers found a Wednesday intelligence briefing to be wholly insufficient. Get ready for lack of cooperation and zero documentation Trump claims of no Americans being killed...well 63 Canadians were killed to include many others. Now, this is the Trump's doing when he chose the route he choose. Imagine how much better off we’d all be if you recognized the power of transparency and unbiased truth. You’d own the world. But you’re all too stupid.

Trump: Soleimani was ‘looking to blow up our embassy’The president on Thursday continued to defend his decision to order the drone strike that killed Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani without congressional authorization, claiming that Tehran was planning an attack on the U.S. embassy in Iraq. stableford Is that what members of congress heard in their briefing yesterday?
