No, sorry, it does not wipe out all the other damage he has done. Reagan, as wrong as he was with Iran/Contra, still was not using that office to benefit himself.
Trump wasn't lying about a blowjob either. Nixon, at least had the morals to know when to quit.
This does not wipe out his years of toxic and dangerous bullying, nor demoralizing and undermining his own intel. And he still, even with this kill, still undid vital containment of 100s more because of his withdraw of troops. And there is not much division by our intel about what a bad move that was.
You don't give credit to the asshole who wrecks the car just because he fixes a flat after the fact but still fucks up the highway.
This isn't about one event with him. This is a collection of bad behavior and abuse of power long term. He has undermined our credibility globally and this kill does not change that.
Well, actually, this thread IS about 'one event with him'. Trump is truly a reprehensible, vile caricature of a human being, but can you at least see your way clear that the death of a prominent terrorist is (for the moment, at least) is a good thing, and that Trump is, in large measure, responsible for that?
