Wesley Hunt Donald Trump Taliban story

    por Lucid Arthur: Donald Trump

    Representative Wesley Hunt just dropped his favorite Donald Trump story on the Sage Steele show and it is getting massive attention online. The context was a conditions-based withdrawal from Afghanistan where President Trump wanted to pull troops back only if the Taliban followed rules. It was just Trump, Mike Pompeo, and one translator in the room negotiating with the leadership. Trump told the translator to convey specific terms before adding a threat. He said 'Shut up' to the translator after hearing the translation. Then he looked at the Taliban leader and said 'if you harm a hair on a single American, I'm going to kill you.' Trump showed the Taliban leader a satellite photo of his home and handed it over. He left the room immediately after handing over the photo.

    I'll give you my favorite President Trump story. This is my number one favorite of all time. When we were negotiating with the Taliban, while President Trump was still the president, President Trump wanted to get out of Afghanistan, but he wanted a conditions-based withdrawal, meaning that you do what we tell you to do, and then we will start pulling troops back slowly as long as you abide by our rules. It's President Trump and Mike Pompeo, and they are talking to Taliban leadership in the room, and they had one translator in the room. President Trump looked at the Taliban leader and said this. I want to leave Afghanistan, but it's going to be a conditions-based withdrawal. And translator translated. And he said, if you harm a hair on a single American, I'm going to kill you. And translator goes, and Trump goes, tell him what I said. Reached in his pocket, pulled out a satellite photo of the leader of the Taliban's home and handed it to him. Shut up. Got up and walked out the room.
