MSNBC’s Yasmin Vossoughian reported, “This was my impression of the fact that the president tried to say the killing of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was a bigger deal than Osama Bin Laden. When I speak to some of my sources at CENTCOM, they were telling me this does not outdo the killing of Osama bin laden. He was still a bigger deal in these spheres than Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. You have the president standing up there saying no, that’s not the case.”

The Russians have already said that the killing of Baghdadi changes nothing about Syria and ISIS.
Trump is still trapped in his own insecurities about being a worse president than Obama, which is why he made the claim that Baghdadi was bigger than Bin Laden:

No one outside of Trump and his enablers believes that killing Baghdadi was bigger or more important in the fight against terrorists than killing Bin Laden. As usual, Trump took a situation that should have been a presidential slam dunk and turned into a liability through his need to exaggerate and elevate himself in every moment.

Even US Central Command disagrees with Trump’s claim that the killing of Baghdadi is bigger than getting Obama.
