How Twitter reacted when Trump called the bin Ladens 'tall and handsome'

US President Donald Trump announcing the death of IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the Iraqi jihadist by the US Special Forces certainly grabbed global attention. But, typical of Trump, he continued blowing the proverbial trumpet on Twitter.

In a radio address, he referred to Hamza bin Laden and his father Osama bin Laden as "tall and very handsome". 

“..... Hamza bin Laden, because he is a young man around 30, looks just like his father tall, very handsome and he was talking bad things just like his father....I don’t get any credit for this, but that’s okay, I never do. But here we are. I wrote a book, a really very very successful book, and in that book about a year before the World Trade Center was blown up, I said there is somebody named Osama bin Laden, you better kill him or take him out, something to that effect, he is big trouble...," Trump said.

Twitter was rife with tweets expressing disbelief.

President Trump, however, did not stop there. After releasing an image of a canine who chased Baghdadi, was a tweet taking a jibe at Democrats who are conducting an impeachment inquiry against him.

He tweeted, 'Can you believe that Shifty Adam Schiff, the biggest leaker in D.C., and a corrupt politician, is upset that we didn’t inform him before we raided and killed the #1 terrorist in the WORLD!? Wouldn’t be surprised if the Do Nothing Democrats Impeach me over that! DRAIN THE SWAMP!!'

The Democrats initiated an impeachment inquiry on charges of Trump abusing his position of power by asking Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to launch an inquiry on Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden to expose them of 'corruption' and holding back close to $400 million in military aid unless the investigation was carried out.

Here are some of the tweets that expressed their thoughts on President Trump calling the Ladens 'tall and handsome'.

He could have stopped 9/11 if we listened to him about tall, handsome Bin Laden.

Maybe he has a crush on tall and handsome, just saying...

I genuinely thought I imagined that part when I caught it on the radio. Thanks for verifying I am not insane.

Baghdadi's remains were disposed of following law of armed conflict

The remains of ISIS leader Abu Bakr-al Baghdadi were “disposed of appropriately” under the US standard operating procedure and the law of armed conflict, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has said.

US President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that Baghdadi blew himself in his suicide vest as he was chased to the dead-end of a tunnel by the US service dogs during an American raid in northwest Syria.

Responding to questions, General Milley said the US forces also took with them materials about ISIS and future planning from the compound where Baghdadi was killed.

"There was material taken away. I don't want to characterize exactly what or how much yet until it gets exploited properly. But as a matter of course, we always do sensitive side exploitation on any objective anywhere to do that. As to whether it was Baghdadi's headquarters, it was an area in which he was staying on a consistent basis," the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said.

“There were two adult males taken off the objective alive and they are in our custody,” General Milley said.

Asked about President Trump saying that Baghdadi was whimpering and crying before he died, General Milley said the presidential account was based on the conversation that he had with those involved in the attack.
