    Also Trump confirms and goes into detail:

    I prefer the way Trump put it when he was describing what Poo Pakr did to Kayla.

    "He was an animal. A savage animal."

    Also:

    "He died like a coward - whimpering, screaming, crying."

    Turns out the information on al-Baghdadi's location was provided by the Kurds that Trump just sold out to the Turks. Interesting factoid, but certainly not enough to stop any of these repellent MAGA shitheads from doing a victory lap as per Dear Leader's cue.

    Trump has to make even good news weird. Just can’t help himself.

    Kind of but not exactly:

    Officials said U.S. intelligence had tracked the militant leader, a onetime academic and veteran jihadist who spent a year in a U.S.-run prison in Iraq, to a redoubt in Syria’s Idlib province, a restive area near the border with Turkey that is home to an array of extremist groups. A critical piece of information on Baghdadi’s whereabouts came from a disaffected Islamic State militant who became an informant for the Kurds working with the Americans, according to a U.S. official who, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive operation.

    However, "turns out" Trump did acknowledge a contribution from the Kurds in the video above.

    But if Trump did "sell out" the Kurds as you theorize why would they still be helping him?

    The Kurds told the US back in March, long before Trump thought up giving them the October dolchstoss.

    There is a sad part though, one of the dogs that went in with the Special Forces was killed.
