The 'Death of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi' meme stems from former President Donald Trump's 2019 televised announcement regarding the successful U.S. military raid on the ISIS leader. The meme primarily focuses on Trump's vivid and repetitive descriptions, particularly the phrase 'He died like a dog, he died like a coward.' This hyperbolic language immediately caught the attention of the internet, leading to a flood of remixes, video edits, and image macros. Additionally, the 'hero dog' Conan involved in the raid became a central figure in the meme cycle. Users typically use this template to mock dramatic over-exaggerations or to apply Trump's specific phrasing to trivial everyday inconveniences or sports rivalries.
