(CNSNews.com) – Announcing the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi during a Special Forces raid in northwestern Syria, President Trump used deliberately denigrating language to describe a man who claimed to have been on a divine mission to usher in Allah’s kingdom on earth.
In his statement at the White House, Trump portrayed Baghdadi as a coward to the end, a man who killed three young children as he took his own life by detonating a suicide vest as the U.S. forces bore down on him.
“He died after running into a dead-end tunnel, whimpering and crying and screaming all the way,” he said of the man who in June 2014 declared himself “Caliph Ibrahim,” the political successor to Islam’s 7th century founder, Mohammed, and demanded allegiance from the world’s Muslims.
