President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is now dead.
“Last night, the United States brought the world’s number one terrorist leader to justice,” Trump said. “Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is dead.”
Trump said U.S. Special Operations Forces had “executed a dangerous and daring night time raid” in northwestern Syria and that “no personnel were lost in the operation.”
Baghdadi and three children died after he detonated a suicide vest, according to the President.
“He died after running into a dead end tunnel, whimpering and crying and screaming all the way,” Trump said.

He thanked Russia first.
Because, of course he did.
Who?
Trump likely thinks this will cause everyone to love him.
Nope.
Will he stay on point, or will he once again drift into attacks on the ‘true enemy of the people” — the news media and the Democratic Party — along with a heavy dose of self-proclaimed victimhood?
Trump cannot get over his jealousy of Obama.
This was NOT a 'We got him" moment.
Good work by our military. But, I knew about this last night because the White House leaks so much.
As much as Trump wants this to, this will not change the news cycle. He is still going to be impeached.
