6. Watch the video of President Trump’s statement under “Resources” below. Responding to questions by reporters following his statement, President Trump said:

• Al-Baghdadi "died like a dog, he died like a coward. He was whimpering, screaming, and crying. Frankly I think it is something that should be brought out so his followers and all of these young kids that want to leave the various countries, including the United States [to become murderous terrorists], they should see how he died. He did not die a hero, he died a coward. Crying, whimpering, and screaming and bringing three kids with him to death."
• “Baghdadi’s demise demonstrates America’s relentless pursuit of terrorist leaders, and our commitment to the enduring and total defeat of ISIS! The reach of America is long.”

Ask a parent: How effective do you think the knowledge that this evil ISIS leader died a coward, and the knowledge that the U.S. will get you eventually if you commit terrorist acts is in deterring others from attempting to join terrorist groups? Please explain your answer.
