Surveillance video provided a dramatic portrait of action outside the al-Baghdadi compound, but could not show what happened in an underground tunnel where the ISIS leader died. For that, Mr. Trump would have to hear from Delta Force, or their commanders.

WASHINGTON — In describing the death of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi on Sunday, President Trump used dramatic, even cinematic language to portray the daring American commando raid that brought down the Islamic State leader who, the president said, died “screaming, crying and whimpering.”
Mr. Trump described the video footage he w... less

In city after city, across the nation, Trump has failed to pay local officials who provide thousands of dollars’ worth of security assistance to the president’s campaign during his Make America Great Again rallies.

Donald J Trump Jr, the son of Republican nominee Donald J Trump, has been criticised for comparing Syrian refugees to Skittles, in unfavourable terms.
It is the first time Trump Jr – a surrogate for his father’s presidential campaign – has specifically compared people seeking asylum from a war-torn country to candy.
But it is far from the first time Trump Jr has upset large swathes of the popu... less

Good thing Colorado now offers free full day kindergarten so our kids can learn basic geography". At a Conference in Pittsburgh Trump said - "We're building a wall on the border of New Mexico, and we're building a wall in Colorado,". Cheers!
He is stupid, but never when it comes to hiding and lying and paying off people. Just like Jeffrey and Harvey, but he is paying people to shut AMERICANS up.

Taylor apparently kept detailed records of conversati less

At first, it wasn’t obvious that anything was amiss. Kids are naturally curious about the complicated world around them, so Joanna Schroeder wasn’t surprised when her 11- and 14-year-old boys recently started asking questions about timely topics such as cultural appropriation and transgender rights.
But she sensed something off about the way they framed their questions, she says — tinged with a bias that didn’t reflect their family’s progressive values. She heard one of her sons use the word “triggered” in a sarcastic, mocking tone. And there was the time Schroeder watched as her son scrolled through the “Explore” screen on his Instagram account and she caught a glimpse of a meme depic... less
