Wesley Hunt REVEALS never-before-told jaw-dropping Trump story
[media=https://youtu.be/77iDpFIL2Ks?t=126]
REP. WESLEY HUNT: When we were negotiating with the Taliban, when President Trump was still the president, President Trump wanted to get out of Afghanistan, but he wanted a conditions-based withdrawal, meaning you do what we tell you to do and we will start pulling troops back slowly, as long as you abide by our rules.
President Trump and Mike Pompeo were talking to Taliban leadership in the room, and they had one translator. President Trump looked at the Taliban leader and said this, "I want to leave Afghanistan, but it is going to be a conditions-based withdrawal." And the translator translated. And he said, "If you harm a hair on a single American, I'm going to kill you."
And the translator goes [whoa]. And Trump goes, "Tell him what I said."
He reached into his pocket, pulled out a satellite photo of the leader of the Taliban's home, and handed it to him, got up, and walked outta the room.
Do you know, for 18 months, not a single American was killed in Afghanistan? That's the definition of strength. That's what I'm talking about. And so, you can imagine that kind of sentiment around the world.
If we have an embassy in another country, no one's gonna touch it because they are going to be fearful that they will get a MOAB on their head. That's how President Trump rolls.
