President Donald Trump this week announced the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi at the hands of US Forces.

While Americans commended Trump for ordering the mission and for the team that carried it out, some were disturbed at Trump's announcement of Baghdadi's death. Trump's characterization of Baghdadi as a "coward" and a "dog" was beneath the United States and could be used to recruit more ISIS fighters.


Baghdadi is likely the greatest terror threat killed since former President Barack Obama and a team of Navy SEALs carried out the execution of Osama bin Laden, the architect of the September 11 attacks.

Though Obama and his predecessor, George W. Bush, had scoured the world for bin Laden's whereabouts for years, Obama still didn't gloat or grin about matters of national security, unlike Donald Trump.

Jimmy Kimmel pointed this out on his show.

Played in succession, the speeches couldn't sound more different. Where Obama thanked the SEALs who carried out the mission, Trump complained that he didn't get credit. Where Obama speaks of a "targeted operation," Trump says, "They did a lot of shooting." Not to mention, as Kimmel pointed out, Obama's announcement was nine and a half minutes, while Trump's was 48.

People laughed to keep from crying.

We all know how much Trump loves to be compared to Obama.

Lindsey Graham's Sister Hit With Hilariously Brutal Factcheck After Claiming She's 'Not Being Handed' His Senate Seat

Darline Graham, the sister of late Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, was swiftly fact-checked after claiming that she's "not being handed" her brother's seat even though she quite literally was named to temporarily fill it.

Senator Graham died on the evening of July 11 after returning from an official visit to Ukraine. According to a preliminary finding from the medical examiner, shared by his office, Graham died after suffering an aortic dissection—a tear in the inner wall of the aorta—linked to hardening of the arteries.

John Hinckley Jr. Shares New Message For Jodie Foster 45 Years After Shooting Ronald Reagan To Impress Her

Some Hollywood stories fade with time. The disturbing history connecting Jodie Foster and John Hinckley Jr. is not one of them. For those who don’t know, on March 30, 1981, Hinckley waited outside the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C., where President Ronald Reagan had just addressed 5,000 members of the AFL-CIO.

As Reagan emerged from the hotel, Hinckley fired six shots from a revolver. One bullet ricocheted off Reagan’s limousine and struck him beneath his arm. White House Press Secretary James Brady, police officer Thomas Delahanty and Secret Service agent Timothy McCarthy were also wounded.

Journalist Reveals Just How Much Money Has Been Diverted From National Parks For Trump's Vanity Projects—And People Are Livid

In a series of articles for MacFarlane News and MeidasTouch, videos, and an appearance on CNN, Chief Washington Correspondent for MeidasTouch Scott MacFarlane blew the whistle on MAGA Republican President Donald Trump’s raiding of National Park Service (NPS) funds. Aided by his Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, Trump diverted NPS money to pay for all of his White House and Washington D.C. vanity projects.

Trump’s hand-selected, mostly unwanted and unnecessary White House grounds and National Mall projects—things like a botched reflecting pool resurfacing, golden decor, a helipad, a ballroom, gilded statues, and giant flagpoles—alone took $423 million from major national parks across the country.
