Trump seeks to make al-Baghdadi raid a focal point of reelection campaign
By Ellen Mitchell - 11/02/19 04:48 PM EDT

President Trump is making the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi a new focal point of his 2020 campaign.

For the past week, Trump has boasted about the Oct. 26 raid that ended with the death of the terrorist leader.

On Friday night, the president began a rally speech by boasting of al-Baghdadi's death, saying that the U.S. military had "executed a masterful raid that ended his wretched life and punched out his ticket to hell."

"He was a savage and soulless monster but his reign of terror is over," Trump told the crowd in in Tupelo, Mississippi.

He also claimed the media had not sufficiently covered Baghdadi's death.

I agree that the MSM hasn't exactly praised the death of Baghdadi, and Trump certainly should put that on his list of accomplishments, but IMHO he needs to deliver on his #1 promise; the wall.  It has been started (finally) and he's made some progress with Mexico curbing the influx, but the wall needs to be completed. He delivers on the wall, and he will have kept his promise to his base and I think he'd see those 'undecideds' and 'independents' rally behind him as well.
