  1. Weak old Donald Dump surrendered to the Taliban.

  3. I doubt he even tried to negotiate, that would suggest Trump cared for the Afghani or the US military. I rather suspect he was okay with everything as long it got him to say “I ended the War!”.

  4. He gave them everything they wanted, and got nothing in return.

    Why do the press even bother to go to Steven Cheung for a response, he doesn’t even try to answer queries, doesn’t even pretend that he’s going to do that, it’s just “here’s my rude angry guy in a bar who hates everyone act, take it or leave it losers!”

    It got boring a long time ago

  6. “Weak negotiator” – that’s definitely a Trump button that will get a response…

  7. Don’t see any evidence of negotiations. After all the Taliban and MAGA have pretty much the same attitude, especially towards women

  9. Trump could have waited to release the 5000 taliban until all US military was out of the country, but he didn’t. Because he is bad at negotiating.

  12. One of the 5,000 ISIS prisoners Trump released went on to suicide bomb Abby Gate and kill those 13 soldiers. That’s why he’s always grandstanding about it. He’s deflecting.

  13. A more accurate description is Trump and Republicans were angry over losing the 2020 election and consequently set Biden up to fail by setting up a poison pill withdraw agreement with the Taliban.

  14. I love that this is coming back to haunt him because for too long Biden was blamed for the entire thing.

  15. This is 100 percent true and would t have happened if he had the official Afghanistan government there.

  16. Donald Trump is the only American President to negotiate a surrender to a hostile power.

  17. It was an unconditional surrender. There was no “negotiation”, although Trump probably still believes there was.

  18. When you agree to honor the folks who hosted the 9/11 planners, to get five thousands of their terrorists released and to hastily exit the region… and you get NOTHING FOR IT.

    If this was any other president, it would be their worst mistake. With Trump, not in top three.

  19. it’s a good way to attack it domestically.

    but he negotiated the exact deal he wanted. this WAS the intended outcome.

  20. “Negotiated?” He surrendered, in the worst possible way. This must have come from Putin to damange US credibility, though that piece of human filth Pompeo takes credit for delaying the final withdrawal to fuck over Biden.

  21. It’s almost like he’s bad at business? And everything else he touches?

  22. “The Taliban was able to out negotiate this deal in a cave! Without my book!”

  23. The Trump administration didn’t negotiate. They just gave the Taliban everything they wanted to make a deal at lightspeed. The deal they accepted was basically the lowball offer you make as a starting point in a negotiation.

  24. Don’t forget, Trump wanted to host those assholes at Camp David days before September 11. He only cancelled because an American Soldier and 11 others were killed and the optics would look bad (no shit.) Then he told everyone about it via Twitter.

  26. Trump couldn’t negotiate his way out of a wet paper bag. 78 years of failure on record and yet somehow millions of people still think he’s a genius…

  27. He released 5,000 terrorists. I would say out-negotiated is an understatement. Fucking loser.

  29. Bold move to even assume he has the ability to negotiate.

  30. Rep Auchinclaus is my rep to Congress, and he’s correct. The Taliban ran circles around Trump. The Right is running ads and giving interviews concerning the attacks by the Taliban during our withdrawal, failing to give credit where credit is due, namely, to Trump letting these same people out of prison.

    The Taliban could see Trump coming from miles away.
