Former President Donald Trump questioned why several mainstream media outlets ignored the Afghanistan withdrawal story in the days leading up to the target date.
Trump appeared on the nationally syndicated Todd Starnes Show Monday.
“All they talked about was the hurricane,” Trump exclaimed. “You look at CNN and you look at MSNBC, these are horrible.”
Trump used the opportunity to showcase what he believes was solid foreign policy during his time in office.
“Afghanistan is not even something that can even be discussed in a rational way,” Trump said. “The level of stupidity – and we had a great agreement.”
Trump said he struck a deal with Taliban leader Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, not to kill Americans.
“We would have hit them so hard, and they knew that, Abdul knew that,” Trump said. “I would have taken the equipment out, I would have taken the people out, and then we would have bombed every base but Bagram,” Trump said.
