Donald Trump delivered a rambling speech about a US operation that caused the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and in it he claimed the terrorist group used the internet better than anyone in the world – apart from him.
He said: “They are not into the use of cell phones any more. They’re very technically brilliant.”
They use the Internet better than almost anybody in the world, perhaps other than Donald Trump.
But they use the Internet incredibly well, and what they’ve done with the Internet and through recruiting and everything, and that is why he died look a dog, he died like a coward.
People thought they had misheard Trump
Did Trump just say ISIS uses the internet better than anyone other than him?— Sam Stein (@Sam Stein) 1572183338
They didn't
@matthewjdowd Trump’s comment that ISIS knows the internet better than anyone except him made me choke on my Cheerios!— Barb Thaine (@Barb Thaine) 1572190939

@pattonoswalt I always wondered who used the internet the best in the world. Now I know: 1: Donald Trump 2: ISIS 3: Any guesses????!— Andrew Waruszewski (@Andrew Waruszewski) 1572190521
People were amazed the US president willingly compared himself to ISIS
@samstein Yup, in getting in yet another self-aggrandizement, he compared himself to ISIS. 🤦♂️— Thanks, Joe (@Thanks, Joe) 1572184193
Trump gooder on internet than bad guys
And there were others who switched off the speech early on for, well, obvious reasons
@samstein Oh hell yeah! he also called Baghdadi Bagadi! Does anyone think he actually knew what was going on?!?— TamaytaSoop (@TamaytaSoop) 1572184352
