“Trump, former aides said, has burned with a desire to
erase Obama’s foreign policy legacy and prove himself
a superior Commander-in-Chief.”

The Washington Post

I couldn’t abide one simple fact:
Obama had bin Laden whacked.
So first I took out al-Baghdadi,
A really bigger, badder baddie.
By making Suleimani dead,
In killings I would surge ahead.
Obama’s White House stay is done,
And I’m the winner, two to one.
