McEnany claims Trump would never have implemented his Afghan plan.

"SNIP.....

Under Donald Trump's presidency, a peace agreement was negotiated between the United States and the Taliban that many within the Republican Party called "historic" at the time.

.....

During a Fox News appearance, former Trump press flack Kayleigh McEnany seemed to claim Trump would not have followed through on his own withdrawal plan.

"Kayleigh, this is not how the last president left the situation," Fox News host Harris Faulkner said. "It would have been nice to get all our people back quickly. Instead, this is protracted."

"Let me be categorical in saying this," McEnany began. "This would have never happened under President Donald J. Trump! It would not have!"

She went on to explain why the Taliban would have "respected our commander-in-chief," and that Americans "do not have a commander-in-chief right now."



......SNIP"

He delayed the move until he was likely out of office. Had he won, and it's not clear he wanted to win so much as want to complain that it was stolen, he would have waffled about leaving. Definitive moves is not a strong suit of Trump. Delaying and laying the ground work to blame others is.

600,000+ Americans dead from a virus should tell you how he values human lives over his own sick orgasmic love for himself.

He'd have ignored the innocents.
