Trump had nothing to do with The raid and killing of Baghdadi.

Quote: 'Trump’s abrupt decision to withdraw American forces from northern Syria disrupted the meticulous planning and forced Pentagon officials to press ahead with a risky night raid... al-Baghdadi’s death occurred largely in spite of Trump’s actions'

1. Presidents, even horrible ones, get to take credit

for stuff that happens while they are in office.

2. But there's always a tweet...we should honor that thing's "thoughts" on the matter.

3. I view these as ongoing military missions that have little to with who is in office

when things come together and the mission is executed and I never saw it considered as such until Bin Laden was pinpointed and taken out.

4. He ultimately signed off on it.

And as such he would take the blame if it all fell apart and soldiers died, so he gets credit. (We know he'd blame someone else, but no one would actually fall for that.) The best I can say is that it wasn't a bad thing for a change.

Obama took great risk every time he dispatched Seal Team Six. If even a dog had been killed, Congress would have impeached.

5. Hope the media doesn't follow up on tRUMP golfing, staged Situation Room

photo op or even ask him, press secretary or any military about the timing. No distractions for the impeachment process. NONE. Nothing should muddy the media waters. tRUMP will try EVERY day but we must ignore him, the issues and distractions (within reason).

Just sayin..
