“The blade has forged steel from the door that al-Baghdadi was hiding behind.”
During the course of Donald Trump’s speech in Salt Lake City, Utah, the Gold Star family members of the Afghanistan withdrawal presented to him a knife with a handle made from wood from the last tree that is known to have been planted by George Washington, a blade with the core steel made from the door broken through in the assassination operation of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, and the backdrop for the knife in the frame was a shirt worn by the soldier who fatally shot the the terrorist.
The GOP nominee stopped his speech to allow for the Gold Star family members all to come up on stage with him along with Lucas Ohara, the blacksmith who made the knife.
Darin Hoover, the father of deceased Staff Sgt. Taylor Hoover, spoke to introduce the families and told the audience of their previous time with Trump at Bedminster.
"We were able to be invited down to Bedminster, after one of our long, long meetings [in Congress],” Hoover told the audience. “Where we spent six hours with this wonderful man back here.”
Hoover spoke of Trump’s compassion and care for the families as they grieved for their children during the visit last year. He then handed it off to Ohara, the owner of Grizzly Forge, to present the knife.
"The blade has forged steel from the door that al-Baghdadi was hiding behind,” Ohara told the fundraiser audience. “The guard is eighteenth century wrought iron from a wagon wheel that crossed the US on the Oregon trail. The handle ss white oak from the last known tree that George Washington planted that fell at Mt. Vernon at 240 years old."
"And the backdrop is the actual shirt the operator wore when he shot al-Baghdadi in the face,” Ohara added.
Ohara then presented the knife on behalf of the Gold Star families to Trump.
During his speech, Trump emphasized the need for a stronger military and retold the story of the killing of al-Baghdadi.
