Amerikanske specialstyrker fandt og dræbte Abu Bakr al-Baghadi, lederen af ISIS, under en storstilet militæraktion i weekenden. Drabet er en stor, politisk sejr for Donald Trump, og det vil han gerne have, at hele verden ved. Den amerikanske præsident informerede om drabet med en tale, hvor præsidenten hverken holdt sig tilbage med blodige detaljer eller skulderklap. Primært til sig selv.
Vi har samlet 10 citater fra pressekonferencen her:
”He died after running into a dead-end tunnel, whimpering and crying and screaming all the way.”
Jo flere detaljer, jo bedre.
"I don't want to say how, but we had absolutely perfect - as though you were watching a movie. It was - that - that in - the technology there alone is - is really great."
Militæraktionen var som en film. Intet mindre.
"We flew very, very low and very, very fast."
Selvfølgelig.
"You know, they use the internet better than almost anybody in the world, perhaps other than Donald Trump."
Det er altid godt at omtale sig selv i 3. person. Og Donald Trump er da også rigtig skarp på Twitter.
"I've been looking for him for three years. I've been looking for him."
Den amerikanske præsident har bare ledt og ledt.
"That was to notify you guys that you have something big this morning, so you wouldn't be out playing golf or tennis or otherwise being indisposed."
Donald Trump ved, som golf-elskende mand, at weekenden er til for sportslige aktiviteter. Derfor tweetede han også, at noget stort var sket. Så var det muligt at afbestille tee-tiden inden pressekonferencen.
"Our K9, as they call -- I call it a dog, a beautiful dog, a talented dog -- was injured and brought back, but we had no soldier injured."
Donald Trump kalder den, som han ser den. Det er en hund.
"And then I also wanted Hamza bin Laden, because he's a young man, around 30, looks just like his father, tall, very handsome, and he was talking bad things just like his father."
Hamza Bin Laden. Høj og flot som sin far. Men sagde også mange dumme ting. Ligesom sin far.
"And I'm writing a book. I think I wrote 12 books, all did very well."
Det er stadig pressekonferencen om drabet på ISIS-lederen, hvis nogen skulle være i tvivl.
"He died like a dog. He died like a coward."
Vi slutter, hvor vi startede. Med flere detaljer.
