In a speech in 2019, former President Donald Trump said ISIS's prior leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, 'died like a dog,' during a strike.
"He died like a dog, he died like a coward. The world is now a much safer place," Trump stated."He was a sick and depraved man, and now he's gone. Baghdadi was vicious and violent and he died in a vicious and violent way. He was whimpering and crying and screaming all the way."
The president noted that knowing al-Qurayshi had surrounded himself with families, including children, officials decided to conduct a special forces raid,"rather than targeting him with an airstrike."
