Trump said the guy was "whimpering, screaming and crying".
Taking this guy out, is a good thing. He represented a threat to the people around him, and the world.
Was there a need for Trump's exaggerations? I don't think so. But, he has to do it.
Logic implies that:
1. If any special ops personnel, were close enough to hear him whimper and cry, they would certainly have been close enough to deliver a kill shot, instead of letting him run, along with 3 of his kids, into a tunnel.
2. The guy was probably running away from the trained dog. He believes that dogs are filthy, and even being in the presence of a dog, would doom him to eternal hell. In essence, I believe the dog's presence, saved some American lives, as the guy was trying to get away from the dog, so he can detonate his suicide vest, without a dog attached to it.
But, this is Trump and lying is as natural to him, as his orange skin.
I certainly hope the dog comes out of this OK.
