Was it Trump’s magic wand that turned the Washington Post into a laughingstock?

I’m beginning to think that hidden somewhere in the White House or Trump Tower there’s a magic wand that the president wields which turns his detractors into laughingstocks. If so, this weekend he waved it over the Washington Post.

First, a little background. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, was an ISIS leader. He was a very, very bad man. In 2009, we had him captured and imprisoned in Iraq. President Obama released him.

Thereafter, Baghdadi and his troops took over the Iraqi cities of Fallujah, Ramadi, Tikrit and Mosul, and threatened Baghdad.

Along the way they burned down everything in their path and tortured and murdered civilians, soldiers and police officers.

Baghdadi photographed and publicized how he and his fellow butchers roasted alive men hogtied over flames, burned whole families with their children in cages, drowned prisoners in cages, raped and murdered thousands of Yazidi women and girls, and beheaded, shot, and blew up countless thousands of people.

Among those he kidnapped, tortured and murdered was a young American woman Kayla Mueller whom Obama failed to rescue in time.

After his Iraqi mayhem, Baghdadi took refuge in Syria where he hid out.

You’d think Baghdadi’s obituary would acknowledge what a monster he was. The header the Washington Post chose for this was originally

“Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Islamic State’s ‘terrorist-in-chief,’ dies at 48.”

It was changed to:

“Abu-Bakr al-Baghdadi, austere religious scholar at helm of Islamic State dies at 48.”

The headline provoked a torrent of satires.

“Jeffrey Epstein, philanthropist and investor, died tomorrow at the age of 66. His unforeseen death will surely lead to widely-debunked conspiracy theories on far-right websites.”

Pelosi said:

“Our military and allies deserve strong, smart and strategic leadership from Washington.”

Are we to believe that Pelosi is capable of providing "strong, smart, strategic leadership"?

Sweetie, that's NOT YOUR JOB and YOU are singularly incapable of contributing in those areas! (because it wasn't a coup!!!!)
