The motorcade didn’t return back to the White House until 4:18 pm — nearly 50 minutes after the Baghdadi raid started. Trump was golfing. During the raid. https://t.co/7RZ2UYbP8V

A tale of two presidents: On May 1, 2011, at 4:05pm, President Barack Obama was in the White House Situation Room closely monitoring the raid on Osama Bin Laden. On October 26, 2019, at 3:30pm, President Donald Trump was golfing and had no idea about Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. pic.twitter.com/zLgkQ5xwyi

It’s apparently hard to agree on which direction to look in a #staged war room photo (because the president was golfing when the actual Baghdadi raid happened). pic.twitter.com/ufJjVQHh2Z

Everything you need to know about Trump is in these two pics: The Osama bin Laden raid pic was taken in real-time, showing real decision-makers. The “Baghdadi raid” pics was staged, hours later. Trump was playing golf when it happened. pic.twitter.com/IpSuLnAi6M
