Listen to what he isn't saying: "I got the intel on the IS leader from Putin in exchange for betraying the Kurds and handing Syria over to him."
There was so much wrong about what happened today I don't even know where to start.
Well apparently he was out golfing when the raid went down, so that photo of him watching the raid is b.s.

Really. What is your source for this?
The golfing story is a little speculative.
I did read a couple of comments about how he gave away a bunch of operational details that could hamper future similar raids.
In my mind why not leave some of it mysterious? Keep people wondering just how the US is able to get people like this.
I'll have to find it, but it said Trump returned from golfing at 4:30pm and the raid was at 3:30.
This is from David Cay Johnston, a guy I generally trust, though I think he's wrong about the cables. They appear to be plugged in.
By my count, people's eyes are focused in at least 3 different places.
Staged photo: time stamp is 95 minutes after raid, cords not plugged into laptops. At time of raid Trump was at golf course. And his abrupt surrender of Northern Syria made raid much riskier, @nytimes reports. Need bipartisan hearings into this mendacity. https://t.co/8SUzeLBMOF

Also, look at the picture they released. It's clearly staged.
Yes I don't doubt that.
The official Obama photographer said it appeared staged and the time stamp in the data from the photograph said it was at 5:04 PM. The raid apparently took place at 330, at a time when Trump was logged as being on the golf course.
That's what I read anyway.
The photographer then said it was certainly possible the back end of the raid was still going on when the picture was taken.
My opinion is that getting into an argument about the timing of the picture undermines one's credibility. It's a non-issue, I think.
(And clearly staged)
Staples employee: "So, Mr Hannity, you said you'd like this photo blown up, but why laminated?"
The endless taunts. He was " crying, running, cowardly," so once again we are daring "Bring it."
And of course his base will eat it up.
Heard Russia is skeptical.
Russia is more than skeptical. They're denying everything Trump said about Russia.

He should have made the statement and left, or perhaps had the Secretary of Defense or a general take questions.
But everything is about him. Given his track record how much is true and how much is made up.
And it's 45 minutes and he hasn't shut up.
