....an attack in Kabul that killed one of our great great soldiers, and 11 other people. I immediately cancelled the meeting and called off peace negotiations. What kind of people would kill so many in order to seemingly strengthen their bargaining position? They didnt, they....

....only made it worse! If they cannot agree to a ceasefire during these very important peace talks, and would even kill 12 innocent people, then they probably dont have the power to negotiate a meaningful agreement anyway. How many more decades are they willing to fight?

I think this story is a lie.

@realDonaldTrump I cant decide which is the worst possibility: that you made up this meeting to be dramatic, or you were going to host the Taliban at Camp David just before 9/11.

So @realDonaldTrump was perfectly happy to welcome the Taliban to the United States just days before the anniversary of 9/11 but Muslim members of Congress visiting Israel is a bridge too far for him?
