Doubts over Donald Trump's dramatic account of Baghdadi raid
Footage relayed to US situation room was only overhead surveillance and had no audio

.............

The White House monitored the Syria operation through video feeds that Trump said was “as though you were watching a movie”.

The footage piped into the situation room would have consisted of overhead surveillance shots of the dark compound with heat signatures differentiating between US fighters and others, intelligence and military officials told the New York Times.

Those cameras would not have been able to peer into the tunnel where Baghdadi died, nor provide audio proof of his conduct during the last minutes of his life.

..............

The soldiers involved would have been wearing body cameras, but that footage was yet to be given to the White House at the time of Trump’s press conference, the Times report said.

Maybe about getting fragged in Vietnam.

5. Trump has a vivid imagination

Incredibly vivid - so vivid it's hard for him to tell his imagination from reality.

6. Everything Trump is associated with is fake. Such as the great al Baghdadi raid picture of Trump...

... and Pence in the White House situation room that was taken hours after the raid was over.
And wasn't Trump golfing at the time of the raid on al Baghdadi?

Remember "the little boy with the lawn care business" mowing the White House grass?
That young man had really never cut grass in his life. Notice all the strips of grass that he
missed when mowing the lawn. You mow with 1/2 to 1/4 of the deck over lapping the area
you just mowed to keep from getting those un-mowed strips.

It is all potemkin with Trump.

7. Was he even watching in real time?

Did he even know that it was going to happen?

10. No and no.

He was golfing at the time and knew nothing about it until he was picked up at the golf course. And I am sure the brass did not want him to know anything until it was over. He has a problem with his mouth/twitfingers, seems they leak like nobody can imagine.

8. As many of us observed

He was winging it - he made up all that shit - Fuck Don the Con - I'm so fucking sick of his despicable approach to everything. He thinks life is reality TV and is no doubt heartbroken this morning that he was not treated like a hero at the baseball game.


His unbelievable jealousy of Obama will hasten his departure.
