Republican former President Donald Trump has called Afghanistan's former President Ashraf Ghani "a total crook," adding, "He got away with murder."
Trump made his comments during a Tuesday night interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity. Hannity asked Trump about his dealings with Taliban leaders and the Afghan government as Trump prepared to withdraw U.S. military troops from the region.
First, Trump said that he negotiated with Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar Akhund, the Taliban's co-founder. Trump said he told the Taliban leader that the U.S. troop withdrawal was a "conditions-based agreement." If the Taliban harmed any Americans or allies, Trump said, the U.S. would retaliate by bombing the leader's home village as well as other parts the country.
"I wanted [the Taliban] to get a deal done with the Afghan government," Trump continued. "Now, I never had a lot of confidence, frankly, in Ghani. I said that openly and plainly I thought he was a total crook."

Really Donny? You made the deal behind his back. He wasn't part of the negotiation. Now you feel he pulled a fast one. I detect a tone of envy.
Donald Trump Tells Hannity America Being 'Set up' by Taliban
Former President Donald Trump has claimed that the U.S. is "being set up" by the Taliban, days after the Islamic organization took control of Kabul, and effectively gained control of Afghanistan.
Trump made the comments during a Tuesday night interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, where he was asked about the ongoing situation in Afghanistan that has seen hundreds of Afghans trying to flee the country by climbing onto military planes after the Taliban took control.
Hannity asked Trump about his dealings with Taliban leaders and the Afghan government as he had prepared to withdraw U.S. military troops from the region during his time in charge.
The troops were officially ordered out of the area by Biden in April and the Taliban took control of the country just a few weeks before they were scheduled to leave on September 11.

(20,941 posts)We'd have growing chaos, hourly tweets of anger, blaming, that only fuel the panic, and of course Jared placed in charge of fixing the situation.
Meanwhile sleepy Joe stayed calm and has basically rode a steady course even while the media demanded to be fed their much wanted frenzy.
There is no doubt the out come is going to be in a better situation because Joe doesn't panic, doesn't feed the panic, and doesn't put idiot relatives in charge of the situation room.
