Cheers for Trump administration to kill ISIS leader in Syria.
Still, the way he described his death reminds some of the middle age colorful descriptions rather than reality.
Frankly " died like a dog" is offensive for a human and for a dog.....
Trump does not realize that this is not sensitive message, besides the journalists ask military and they did not know anything about "whimpering and screaming" or did not want to say anything

The White House script on the death of brutal terrorist Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was short. But with two words, President Trump turned the somber announcement into a vivid 40-minute news conference that included bravado, detailed descriptions of military operations, questionable statements and self-promotion.
“Any questions?”
Trump eschewed the serious televised statement his predecessors might have offered. President Barack Obama, for example, said about 1,390 words when announcing the death of Osama bin Laden and took no questions.
Trump, in contrast, uttered almost 8,000 words and took a dozen questions, offering an unfiltered and, at times, vivid account of the raid.
According to current and former administration officials, the president has complained in recent weeks about not getting enough credit for his accomplishments. On Sunday morning, Trump sought to cast Baghdadi’s death — and his role — in historic terms. And he seemed to receive the bipartisan praise he covets at a time when it has proved hard to come by. Vehement Trump critics such as Rep. Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.) lauded the death, even as they warned that the president’s decision to pull U.S. troops from Syria could spark a revival of the Islamic State.
