Donald Trump went on that ridiculous riff Sunday in which he said the Islamic State’s founder\/mastermind\/terrorist in chief was crying and screaming like a little boy when he met his death over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Now we hear from the Pentagon that the brass cannot confirm what the president described.<\/p>\n

Hmm. Who’d have thought such a thing? Do you think Donald Trump was, um, making it up? Was he lying yet again? Was he seeking to glorify himself about Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi’s death as the U.S. Army Delta Force soldiers were closing in on him?<\/p>\n

Well, I have adopted the view that Trump cannot be trusted to tell the truth about anything, under any circumstance. He is unable to speak with any semblance of truthfulness.<\/p>\n

Yet the president thought it was fair comment to go into detail about what happened to al-Baghdadi’s body when he detonated the “suicide vest” he had strapped to his torso. I heard him say it in the moment and thought, “Well, duh \u2026 ? That’s what happens when you blow yourself to pieces!”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Yep, as the president’s allies keep telling us: That’s just Trump being Trump.<\/p>\n

Good grief.<\/p>\n\n
