Trump never wanted to take out top al-Qaeda target al-Zawahiri because he didn't recognize his name: report President Joe Biden announced that the U.S. killed top al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri, who served as Osama bin Laden's No. 2 in the ongoing attacks on the United States. But according to an NBC report from 2020, former President Donald Trump had an opportunity to do the same, but refused because he didn't recognize al-Zawahiri's name. Reporting in early 2020, NBC News reported that intelligence officials briefed then-President Trump many times about the most worrisome terrorist threats, specifically mentioning al-Zawahri. Trump would ultimately agree to take out ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and Yemeni al Qaeda chief Qasim al-Rimi. But other of the significant names on the CIA's list were ignored. Trump "was more interested in a young and less influential figure much farther down the list, according to two people familiar with the briefings, because he recognized the name," the report said at the time. "He would say, 'I've never heard of any of these people. What about Hamza bin Laden?'" the former official told NBC. A Pentagon official agreed, noting, "That was the only name he knew."
.........according to two people familiar with the briefings, ( always an anonymous source) A story about good Biden and bad Trump This story was pre-written and ready to go
Joe is still hanging on. He might not make it. Doctor: Biden's COVID symptoms return, in 'good spirits' (msn.com)
Also, Biden continues to work from his residential office, talk to world leaders, and even worked to help Joe Manchin change his mind as a nice surprise. Also, he seems to be enjoying his time hanging out on the patio with his dog as if he's on a vacation. The kicker, was when Trump had Covid...rushed to the hospital, and sucking in air while a few of the Doctors behaved as if a sick president is a private medical concern. Biden wished Trump and his family a speedy recovery. In contrast, Trump took the opportunity to attack Biden when Biden became infected...no get well wishes. Then again, we all know how these two guys differentiate from each other. The above description of their behavior is not surprising. Simply, if one of them had died...we all know which one would have shown up for the funeral for the other. wrbtrader
