Is that worse than this:

and this:

Is it in the same ball park? I'm not defending the group, but pointing out that inflamatory videos surface during a war.
I recall videos of children suffering were what caused Trump to fire missiles at Syria.

I wonder which groups are working on plans to exploit this feature of the Donald's personality.

You are comparing beheading a child and working with Al Queda to what happened in Abu Gharib-which was stopepd. So it is ok in war-I see.
Trump derangement syndrome should become an official diagnosis. Per the report, he asked the CIA why we are backing these extremists and there was no satisfactory answer-so he stopped them. That should normally be cause for celebration-but to liberals, that is a weak personality.
"The Amazon Washington Post fabricated the facts on my ending massive, dangerous, and wasteful payments to Syrian rebels fighting Assad….."

And check this out - Trump ended CIA arming of radical, Islamist anti-Assad "force" that was caught on tape beheading child:

"Thomas Joscelyn, a Middle East analyst for the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, explains in the August edition of The Weekly Standard:
Earlier this year, President Donald Trump was shown a disturbing video of Syrian rebels beheading a child near the city of Aleppo. It had caused a minor stir in the press as the fighters belonged to the Nour al-Din al-Zenki Movement, a group that had been supported by the CIA as part of its rebel aid program.
Â
The footage is haunting. Five bearded men smirk as they surround a boy in the back of a pickup truck. One of them holds the boy’s head with a tight grip on his hair while another mockingly slaps his face. Then, one of them uses a knife to saw the child’s head off and holds it up in the air like a trophy. It is a scene reminiscent of the Islamic State’s snuff videos, except this wasn’t the work of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi’s men. The murderers were supposed to be the good guys: our allies.
Trump pressed his most senior intelligence advisers, asking the basic question of how the CIA could have a relationship with a group that beheads a child and then uploads the video to the internet. He wasn't satisfied with any of the responses:
Trump wanted to know why the United States had backed Zenki if its members are extremists. The issue was discussed at length with senior intelligence officials, and no good answers were forthcoming, according to people familiar with the conversations. After learning more worrisome details about the CIA’s ghost war in Syria—including that U.S.-backed rebels had often fought alongside extremists, among them al Qaeda’s arm in the country—the president decided to end the program altogether."
