"It is up to you now to finish the job; and I will offer $150,000 to whomever can complete the job...

Contrary to most Americans I kind of want to understand foreign policy decisions made by candidates especially because this guy decided to negotiate with the Taliban, got Americans killed in the process and is unapologetic about it. Kind of want to know what else is in store because of his ego.

[@nicholasanapolsky3173]

Four minutes in, the discussion turns to Iran, but you seem to have overlooked it, perhaps due to a fleeting attention span or conformation bias. He makes his intentions unmistakably clear, tying them directly to the points raised in the opening minutes of the speech. It's astonishing that you missed all of this.

[@feelsgoodgames5183]

When did President Trump negotiate with the Taliban? What were the terms? How many Americans were killed? I guess people for get he was President already and when he was in office their were no Wars and we had an embassy in Jerusalem. No other President achieved that before. Also look up the Abraham accords. Those are just some of what he accomplished as President despite being held back by the Democrats and some Republicans. I have also seen him do more for our fallen soldiers in and out of office then Biden or Harris has ever done. Facts.
