Interesting backstory to the killing of the terrorist Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi from the book:
"...that evening he [Donald Trump] had a movie night scheduled in the White House to watch Rambo: Last Blood with [among others]... actor John Voight.
...Baghdadi was soon chased down a tunnel and was cornered by highly trained special operations dog named Conan. Down in the tunnel, Baghdadi hit a dead end. He locked himself in a cell wearing a suicide vest and hid behind his children as a coward.
...Conan the dog was the only member of the team injured, and he was welcomed at the White House like a hero later."
When it came time to notify the nation of Baghdadi's death:
"...the First Lady stood up and said she thought we should do it [the press conference] right there in the Diplomatic Reception Room. She immediately started planning the whole event, moving the military flags in the room around and deciding on the camera angle. It was perfect staging."
Never realized that Melania was that involved. To be honest though what still sticks with me is Shane Gillis' impersonation of that night.
Got this book for Christmas. Everyone should read it! Scary stuff.
ReplyDeleteMakes me look forward to him being the head of the FBI.
