President Donald Trump says he authorized a precision strike against the commander of Iran's security and intelligence services because he was plotting"imminent and sinister attacks" on Americans.
"We caught him in the act and terminated him," Trump said Friday, a day after the strike that killed Qasem Soleimani.Trump told reporters at his Mar-a-Lago estate that Soleimani should have been taken out by his predecessors.And he cast his decision as one of deterrence rather than aggression."We took action last night to stop a war. We did not take action to start a war," Trump said.
You 'Caught Him In The Act' ? Did he discuss this in some online chat forum? Of course, top generals are stupid and cannot conduct top-secret meetings or discussions. Only American leaders are smart enough not to out their secrets... Trump excluded of course.
He is the biggest terrorist
Nice try, but the fact that it occurred so soon after your impeachment makes you look like you are, once again, lying like a Siberian road apple.
But no proof of this 'imminent and sinister attacks' from iran? Just bullshit excuses
Are there any proof of such action?
Who ever supports trump enables a murderer
Seems to me you just started a war
Very good decision attack terrorist killed by the America thank you so much
whatever happen to imprisonment? It is just a “threat”..isnt Kim is a threat?
Bullshit.
Seriously 🤔🤔
“We caught him in the act and terminated him.” I really wish this was the Senate talking about the impeachment verdict here...
Yet you have started a war.
Lies...
Before getting all pissy on Trump, don't forget the time Obama bombed a wedding.
Quick action ruler. No if no but only action. The difference in this is, the sword strikes used to happen in BC. And air strikes happening in 21st c.
Someone send him a package and get it over with already he’s going to end up leaving getting everyone killed
So at what point was the Commander NOT plotting 'imminent and sinister' attacks? It was his entire career. So why attack now? Perhaps there was some very reliable info from Russian intelligence? AllRoadsLeadToPutin
It is significant for the liar in-chief Donald Trump & his fraudulent repugnant regime to provide evidence of his allegations against the Iranian General Suleimani. It's Paradoxical that Trump who does not trust US National Security Agencies, uses their unfor
I believe this is sophistry and rumor. There is no evidence that Iran poses a threat to the United States. It was the United States that launched the war.
Don’t believe you. Never will. Zero credibility.
Meanwhile your the democrats are defending the so called enemy..Can Trump order the arrest of any dissenting voices with regard to this development...especially democrats. Coz they'd rather have citizens killed rather than prevent carnage...
Domestic US Election year... Trump is planning enough will run to the flag and the President.
Good move Trump... Down with terrorists
Perfect!
Another example of Trump's projecting problem.
That's what he would want everyone to believe but the matter of relevance is that he's a murderer
Do you have any proof?
Three words: Dis Trac Tion
Trump what can you say about cardi b Citizenship to Nigeria?
Interesting
God bless America, cause they check all country characters
'Durram, duhhh, a I attacked, do it's good Tell them it's good, no,no the greatest! Whats that? Um, a, I don know.
What where the American doing in Iran, that made General Soleiman executing them?
This is just sad, this freaking Iranians don't forgive, revenge is evidently coming he just put America in a very dangerous position prone to another attack God forbid another 9/11.
He caught him in the act? Mmmmm i dont believe that...
Mike, keep your head down. Iran might wants to proof a point.
Liar.
So much for jeopardising the security of Americans in the region. A very rash and hasty move by the American president
If this doesn’t scare the ash!t out of u. I don’t know what will!
Got rekt! 🤣🇺🇸🖕🏻🖕🏻
Nobody denies that the Iranian commander was a murderous bastard. Why no consultation with appropriate members of Congress? Why no permission from our ally to kill someone on their soil? This is a disturbing pattern of lawlessness. It’s LBJ minus political acumen.
The lack of simple intellectual this man has will forever be mind-boggling to me.
Obama built peace. Trump burns it.
Proof?
Now watch, Trump will bomb the Mideast with abandon because he's tasted blood. And a wanna be dictator loves the taste of blood!
How many MAGA hat wearing “ever Trumpers”are heading overseas to fight the stable geniuses war?
Just another lie of course
Many people don’t believe a word that flies from Mr Bone Spur Draft Dodger!!
Thank God that Trump is man enough to take a stand for human rights! And for American justice and freedom!
Just znother attempt to save his criminal friend netanjahu imo...
Soleimani is a terrorist who has killed 600 Americans and had plans to kill more according to the CIA. WAKE THE HECK UP!!!
CNN is a joke.... the Hate is obvious & there is no unbiased reporting .. heck who am I kidding there’s no reporting at CNN only propaganda ... thank GOD for our POTUS & KAG ‼️🇺🇸🇺🇸
In the mean time Pelosi....
Liar!ResignNowTrump
But but but Obama this and that Jaja later losers
I call Bullsh*t!!!
Too bad John Kerry wasn’t with him at the time. cnn msnbc wwlll 😂😂😂😍😍❤️❤️❤️
Ok cnn thanks for relaying the propaganda.
Ki duul rek la mun
Checkout my new song on audiomack...,like and follow...youre gonna love it..😍👌
A little different than sending them 150 billion?
President Trump addressed the nation on Friday after ordering a drone strike on Thursday that killed Qasem Soleimani, the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps Quds Force. These were his remarks:
Im enough to remember “WMDs”. Where’s the proof?
And still calls out his predecessors for not doing it. Even his soeech is uncomfortable to listen to
Just great. The 1st time in 3 years he bothered to read security brief and he ends up starting WWIII Now you know why the generals kept info away from him.
Trump pardons war criminals. If Trump hadn’t violated the Iran Nuclear deal, we wouldn’t be on the precipice of war. VOANews ForeignPolicy How about CNN putting some anti-imperialist, anti war experts on TV? AC360
Trump has lied about everything else so why should you believe him now?
That's a LIE. Trump has said that attacking Iran would lead to re election. This is part of IMPEACHED DirtyDonald 's campzign..
Bravo! Finally a president with a spine!
Go Trump!
THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP! Guessing that sending billions of secret cash isnt in your plan!
This is a response to protesting
Were is ya evidence
Unfortunately, I don’t believe a word he says. Any confirmation of this from a credible source?
How will his assasination prevent a plan which has already been prepared?
Good!
I think Trump did this more to stay in power and divert the impeachment and senate. Notice he avoided telling the senate he was going to do this.
And Iraq had WMD....'Blessed are the PEACEMAKERS, for they shall be called Children of God'...ops...The Sermon on the Mount is kind of inconvenient for many 'Christians'...that quote is not for you...is for REAL believers...
Thank you Trump!
I don’t believe a word Trump says ,he has been in office almost 4 years,and you can count the times he has told the truth about anything.
Let’s be honest. There’s no reason to doubt this.
So you say.
Just like we’re gonna do to u in November u got caught and terminated
So NOW he believes our intelligence?
Is it the same intelligence that lied about WMD?
All this sh.. To distract people from impeach talk
Liar, Trump!
That dude (Trump) started a war just to avoid impeachment news going on!!!
I mean, he is so truthful with respect to everything, we are going to trust anything he says?
This was done to distract from the impeachment trial and it’s high time Democrats started hammering on it. NancyPelosi JoeBiden ElizabethWarren PeteButtigieg BernieSanders
Due to the Constitution, only congressdotgov can declare war, not GrahamCracker/LindseyGrahamSC & realDonaldTrump. Election2020 MoscowMitchMcConnell Iran Soleimani
That's what REAL Presidents do!!!!
We would not get the truth from Trump’s lying lips if he was standing on Bibles stacked 10 feet tall. Trump a National Security Risk
GiocondaBrasil If Trump wants to test new attack drones, we Brazilians will kindly give in two targets: National Congress and Brazilian Supreme Court.
Trump picks and chooses when to believe US intelligence. Same intelligence he dumped for Putin in the eyes of the world not so long ago, but now believes because it will be a perfect excuse for his impulsive drone strike in Iran.
How can anyone trust anything that comes out of Trump's mouth n frankly, I don't. Fat Don will sacrifice every last one of us to protect himself because it's impossible for him to do anything else. The man is a sociopath n a fool to boot. Strategy is not exacty Trump forte.
If only something could have predicted this!
Starting a WAR to distract from your impeachment should be an impeachable offense.!! WAG THE DOG !!😡
Thank God realDonaldTrump has courage to save American lives and not pay 💰 terrorist to behave
So that means he trusts our intelligence communities again yea?
So proud of our potus. We cant let others walk all over us. Trump stands up STRONG for the U.S.
How does terminating the PLANNER of “imminent and sinister attacks” stop such attacks? Its not like he would be carrying out the attacks himself.
Bill Clinton passed on the opportunity to take out Osama Bin Laden in the late 90s. Sometimes it is better to act.
God Bless America and free her from the traitors in the liberal media. 'Victory speaks with one voice & progressives ain't it !'
KarenSalitis Scratching the bottom of the barrel for brownie pts
Like those mythical weapons of mass destruction?
I don't believe POTUS cares about anyone but himself. Provide proof of the imminent threat!
BS
I am somehow still amazed at the walking-talking failure that is CNN analysis around armed conflict. They ask no questions, only repeating the rhetoric of the liars who started it.
Trump is a serial liar. Period.
JFC. I swear CNN is the FOX News of the liberal dems. Hate on Trump and his base all you want. Soleiman's known, public, unclassified exploits put him in the cross hairs long ago. Until the intel is declassified, none of us can pass judgement on the logic and timing of this.
Who believes him? This pathological liar has lost all credibility and so his minions. Very unsettling.
Not
will you now stop crying that your terrorist friend is dead? FakeNewsCNN
Trump is a pathological liar. How can logical person believe one word from this Con Man
'We came. We saw. He died. (Evil cackle)'
He doesn't trust his intelligence. Are we to believe him now?
Lying ass
Sounds like those Weapons of Mass Destruction that were never found...
About time
Thank you president Trump
realDonaldTrump is a pathological liar and there is zero reason to believe his justification for this assassination is true.
Where is the proof? We do not trust one word coming from your mouth realDonaldTrump
You know who else has been plotting imminent and sinister attacks on the American people?---Donald Trump and the Republican crime syndicate. Maybe, we should use drones on them too.
Thnx more to Go
💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
The American people shouldn't remember bushes WM D's seldom Hussain. Has that war in ended are we still 💰💰💰💰🙊🙉🙈 for it ? I can't help but wonder how many Angelica Christians will die in The Chosen One King's holy war? Do you think his sons and Grandson will be fighting?
The murderer! Karma for you and all your murderer squad!!
2 weeks ago by Tumps logic, planning and starting a crime isn't committing a crime...
Catching someone in the act and terminating them can have its appeal. ImpeachAndRemove
Good, Cause in 1979 Iranians kidnapped Americans & Carter did nothing. That was a big mistake. How many Americans have died because Iran got away with terror? Sending billions didn’t make them like us, they only continued their terror.
It wasn't that he was going to say anything about this then ?
I want to know what attacks. How he can do this wo regard for Congress. We are not an authoritarian govt
Anything to take his clownbase tiny brains off the impeachment .... 🕉
It also changed todays headlines. They were going to be about released emails proving he and his ppl knew that holding Ukraine's money was illegal and they covered it up. Also a Deutche Bank whistleblower says his loans were Russian backed.
when you were the 1 news network you would be showing all the terroristic actions these 2 bad actors were involved in that led up to this event. Instead you are trying to find something wrong with the decision. Fail What about the dead contractor? Not a word!!!
realDonaldTrump is LYING! LiarInChief
Now there will be immeinent and sinister attacks on americans for sure. You did not plan it well! Now You and your cronies are responsible for the consequences on Americans, Diplomats etc.
I hope I(ran) ran away!
Where's the evidence?!
Impeach him again and offer to extradite him to Iran for trial as an act of good faith.
Of course will not call trump nor the administration out on their misinformation
Good job Trump🇺🇸
Completely made up. They've been trying to start this war for years.
You authorized an assassination Donald. Simply put its murder.
Donald Trump did exactly that he may have just started a war because he was already upset that the news everyday was about his impeachment what better way to distract the people from focusing on that he does impulsive stupid dangerous things when no one is listening to him !!!!!
But ya did, Blanche! Ya did!
I don’t believe a word trump says. He’s making up an attack to justify a war.
Trump & peace to the world How times change
Y this mf produce so much bullshit
Only problem is we don't believe anything he says, so don't forward it!
It would be nice to believe Trump but having him lie continuously about everything he talks about has put doubt on anything he says. It's a shame that we have a leader that the nation can't trust.
Imminent and sinister makes him sound like this guy:
Is this like the weapons of mass destruction debacle? I mean that's one way to distract from your impeachment trial that's already been decided!🤷🏾♀️ just asking for a friend!
And now Americans will pay for your damn ego
American soldier and Qassam Soleimani 🤔
You're a fool old man! This is a wag the dog moment and you gambled with the lives of US service personnel and US citizens around the globe. But what do you care? You have never given a damn about the consequences of your actions opting always to DO WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU!
Trump is a sinister and imminent attack on America.
Trump-Stud
Was he planning to do it all by himself? Because I don't see how killing one person stops much of anything that has involved actual planning.
Damn People they were attacking our embassy. It was worse then what they were saying in the news. They had to get those people out or we could have had another Benghazi. Pres. Trump would not let that happen. Hilary is a murderer because she did not act.
HAIL TO THE CHIEF!
CNN and their ilk are weeping from the loss of Soleimani.
That is your professionalism...
All Dems today appear to be either scared shitless to strike back or are simply siding with known sponsors of terrorism. Pathetic
Trump kills one of Obama's buddies and the left goes nuts.
Good job!
A lie...
Unexpected consequences......predictable consequences. Did Russia, China, Israel, get T to do it cuz they didn't want to suffer the consequences? He consulted all three first. Will they take advantage?
The US is getting itself a dictator
Based on the thousands of lies that Trump has already told please excuse me if I do not believe the impeached president‘s words on this one. What an awful time in American history.
sadly he has no credibility and offered no proof.
Now that's leadership!
We? He some how thinks that information vital to national security and the saftey of America shouldnt be shared with congress because they dont like him what a ass hat.
Proof?
But you don't listen to your intel. Who is guiding you, Lou Dobbs?
Wanna bet that is a lie?
If SpeakerPelosi had just turned over the impeachment articles.
love the way they always end the diatribe with GOD bless this and that.....when we all truly know that if there was a God there wouldn't be this terrible shit going on in the first place....
lol Nobody believes this nonsense.
Finally, we have a president who is more concerned about protecting American lives and acting accordingly. Thank you President Trump for having the cajones to stand up against the biggest terrorist threat.
aliyehiam
Where was the outrage from the left when Obama’s administration carried out 500+ drones strikes that killed thousands, some of whom were American citizens? No prior authorization from Congress, some in areas where were not in armed conflict. Selective “outrage.”
