"Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace noted during a discussion with the president that William McRaven has said Trump's attacks on the media are the "greatest threat to democracy in his lifetime."
Trump in response called McRaven a "Hillary Clinton fan" and "Obama-backer."
"Wouldn’t it have been nice if we got Osama bin Laden a lot sooner than that, wouldn’t it have been nice?" Trump asked. "You know, living — think of this — living in Pakistan, beautifully in Pakistan in what I guess they considered a nice mansion, I don’t know, I’ve seen nicer. But living in Pakistan right next to the military academy, everybody in Pakistan knew he was there."
"You’re not even going to give them credit for taking down bin Laden?" Wallace asked.
"They took him down but — look, look, there’s news right there, he lived in Pakistan, we’re supporting Pakistan, we’re giving them $1.3 billion a year, which we don’t give them anymore, by the way, I ended it because they don’t do anything for us, they don’t do a damn thing for us," Trump responded.
"I’m totally in favor of the media, I’m totally in favor of free press, got to be fair press," he added.

UBL died early December, 2001 when we bombed the Tora Bora caves to oblivion in Afghanistan near the Paki border.
No authenticated tape of UBL, neither audio or visual was ever produced thereafter. All that was reported was grainy, blurred images with fuzzy echo chamber scratchy audio.
Since the US Navy was trying to show the utmost honor and respect for his bloody corpse with Islamic prayer and the full sacred readings, then logic follows that he would have been a land burial in the desert.
There is no protocol for a muslim burial at sea. None at all.
Trump in response called McRaven a "Hillary Clinton fan" and "Obama-backer."
The same can be said for Chris Wallace.
Yes. The same one that died in 2002.
The real Osama died in Tora bora. That is indeed correct. Why do so many freepers not know this?
Chris Wallace can’t be a thick headed as he appears to be on TV, can he?
I could only take about 5 minutes of the idiot pretending to interview the President.
Wallace is one of the hardest interviewers to listen to of all.... Or to his news hours.....
Actually, he was. At least real SEALs consider him to be amongst their fraternity.
The scuttlebutt in the Army was Bin
Laden was a carrot on a stick. They
cast him out as bait to attract his
lesser lieutenants. Obambi collected
the coup to make himself look good.
He was OFFERED to Clinton on a Silver Platter, and Clinton refused!!!
THAT is in our military??? OMG!
the raid that took out Osama bin laden was for show because a election was coming up and Barrack Obama did not want it to be a issue in the election but instead a way to say he was fighting terrorism when instead he was using his position to enable the radicle Muslim population.
Could it be because Saudi has that powerful a group within the US government?
“Someone had some toys they wanted to use.”
Yep. Toys like the stealth Blackhawk of which one crashed into the compound allowing China and Russia to collect fragments of it.
In Jessica Vagina’s case he was hit in the head too many times as a shitty wrestler.
Trump is most often right. The media hatred causes them to misreport every story, it's a joke.
Exactly....and right before an election.
I would think that must be true.
McRaven is a traitor to this country for attacking our president.
I do wonder why GWB never whacked him
