Donald Trump calls Osama bin Laden, Hamza "tall, very handsome"

ISIS chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's death anuncement could have possibly been Donald Trump's finest hour, however, US President stunned world in a 10-minute speech confirming his death. In his address from White House, Trump boasted of Baghdadi's gruesome death in Syria's province of Idlib, spun spectacle around himself, even called Osama bin Laden and his son Hamza "tall and very handsome."

In a declaration of so-called caliph's death as a result of US raid in rrn Syria, Trump leverd opportunity to credit himself over former Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden in a self-aggrandizing way, stating that he predicted 9/11 terror attack on twin towers. 

In address, Trump said, "I also want Hamza bin Laden because he's a young man around 30, looks just like his far, tall, very handsome, and he was talking bad things just like his far."

"You kw, if you read my book, re was a book just before World Trade Center came down. And I don't get any credit for this but that's OK. I never do. But here we are. I wrote a book, a really very successful book and in that book about a year before World Trade Center was blown up, I said re is somebody named Osama bin Laden, you better kill him or take him out, something to that effect, he's big trouble. w, I wasn't in government. I was building buildings and doing what I did but I always found it fascinating. But I saw this man, tall, handsome, very charismatic making horrible statements about wanting to destroy our country. And I'm writing a book. I think I wrote 12 books. All did very well. And I'm writing a book, World Trade Center had t come down. I think it was about if you check it was a year before World Trade Center came down. And body heard of al-Baghdadi," he added.  

Donald Trump claimed that " one heard" of Al Qaeda chief responsible for ghastly terror attack, a claim that was false considering CIA and US intelligence had full kwledge of Osama bin Laden.

"And one heard of Osama bin Laden until really World Trade Center. But about a year, a year and a half before World Trade Center, before book came out, I was talking about Osama bin Laden, you have to kill him, you have to take him out. body listened to me. And to this day I get people coming up to me and y said you kw what, one of most amazing things I've seen about you is that you predicted that Osama bin Laden had to be killed before he kcked down World Trade Center. It's true. Most of press doesn't want to write that but it is true. If you go back and look at my book, I think it's ' America We Deserve.' I made a prediction — let's put it this way, if y would have listened to me, a lot of things would have been different," Trump added. 

However, according to AP fact check, Trump's 2000 book " America We Deserve," makes a passing mention of bin Laden but did more than point to al-Qaida leader as one of many threats to US security. r does he say in book that bin Laden should have been killed.

ISIS fighters flee prisons

While Donald Trump bragged over death of Baghdadi under his regime, experts claimed that over 100 ISIS fighters are reportedly on a loose after escaping prisons in Syria. Earlier in October, Syrian detention camps holding ISIS fighters were weakened with Turkey's military incursion in area. Trump faced fresh backlash for 'abandoning' Syrian Kurds who t only helped US troops fight ISIS but also tracked down Baghdadi that led Americans to most wanted terrorist in world. 

Some 12,000 ISIS fighters -- Syrians, Iraqis as well as foreigners from 54 countries -- are detained in Kurdish prisons, according to ir official statistics. displacement camps host some 12,000 foreigners -- 8,000 children and 4,000 women.  Syrian Kurdish Forces said that security has been beefed up at prisons holding ISIS fighters after Baghdadi's death.
