Trump touts Soleimani strike and slaps at Democrats in Milwaukee
President Trump touted the strike on Iran's Qassem Soleimani and bashed Democratic candidates at a rally Tuesday night in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, as the Democratic presidential candidates took the stage for their seventh debate. The rally also came as the Senate readies itself for Mr. Trump's impeachment trial, which is expected to begin on Tuesday, January 21.
After reminiscing about his narrow 2016 win in the Badger State, and rattling off what he considers to be some of his greatest accomplishments on trade and jobs, the president launched into the story of the death of Soleimani. The Iranian military leader's death has been seamlessly rolled into the president's campaign material.
"At my direction, the United States military launched a flawless precision strike that killed the world's number one terrorist, number one terrorist," the president told his enthusiastic audience. "You know who that is? Qassem Soleimani, number one terrorist in the world."
The president capitalized on Soleimani's death to hit Democrats who questioned whether the death of Soleimani was the best strategy for the U.S.
