BOOM: Reeling Twitter Critics Cannot Believe Trump Invited The Taliban To Camp David
He “found out the Taliban kill people” just before the anniversary of 9/11, one wag scoffed.

President Donald Trump had planned to meet secretly with the Taliban Sunday at Camp David on a bad date three days before the 18th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks. But he decided against it after the Taliban claimed responsibility for a car bombing near the U.S. Embassy in Kabul Thursday that killed 12 people — including a U.S. soldier.

Many Americans were stunned.

The U.S. and Taliban had reached some kind of deal “on principle” so American forces could get out of Afghanistan. But it was an agreement that Trump’s national security adviser, John Bolton, considered inadequate, Bloomberg reported. So Trump aimed to fix things himself.

Now peace talks are off the table, the president tweeted.

Critics on Twitter lashed the meeting planned to take place just days before the 9/11 anniversary with militants American soldiers have been fighting for years. In a July video, the Taliban had justified the 9/11 attacks as payback for America’s “interventionist policies.”

Others pointed out Trump’s hypocrisy concerning Barack Obama, whom he blasted years ago for planning to negotiate with America’s “sworn enemy” — the Taliban.

So, @realDonaldTrump was going to fly Taliban terrorists to Camp David but didn’t because he found out the Taliban kill people? #Absurd #25thammendmentnow

Trump canceled a meeting with Denmark because he was upset at how they rebuffed his idea to sell Greenland to the USA, but actually invited the leaders of the Taliban to meet with him at Camp David just days before 9/11?

Just think about how insane that is.

What’s more disgusting than the President of the United States almost playing golf with the Taliban on the anniversary of 9/11 after GOP lawmakers delayed payments to 9/11 first responders for so long that some died of cancer before getting the help they needed? GOP hates the US.

“How to #MAGA
~by Donald J Trump.

Step 1—Ban Muslims “until we know what’s going on.”

Step 2—Invite the #Taliban to Camp David right before 9/11.

Step 3—Deport Marines who were injured fighting the Taliban.

Step 4—Say “I don’t know” a few times.

Step 5— #Sharpie everything.

EX-TRUMP SUPPORTER: I WAS 'REALLY AN IDIOT' TO THINK HE'D BE A GOOD PRESIDENT
BY JESSICA KWONG ON 6/21/19 AT 1:49 PM EDT

A well-known Trump supporter turned Elizabeth Warren backer on Friday admitted that he was "really an idiot" to think that Donald Trump would be a good president.

"When I supported Trump like most Trump supporters we called it fake news," David Weissman, an Army veteran with more than 80,000 Twitter followers, tweeted. "I was really an idiot to think he would be a good president."

Weissman, who describes himself in his Twitter profile as a "former Conservative Republican Trump supporter now Liberal Democrat & Warren supporter. Yes it's possible," was replying to criticism of Trump by Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway's husband George Conway.

"Trump didn't realize UNTIL TEN MINUTES BEFOREHAND that a planned airstrike would kill over a hundred people and would therefore be grossly disproportionate to the loss of a UAV?" tweeted George Conway, a lawyer. "To say this is amateur hour would defame amateurs."

Conway was responding to Trump tweeting Friday that he had called off military strikes against Iran at the last moment when finding out that 150 Iranians would be killed. In an interview with NBC, Trump later said that he had never given his full approval for the military action.

Weissman replied that Trump "is not mentally fit to be President," an argument that George Conway has long made despite being the husband of a top Trump administration official.

A Twitter user dedicated to educating people about narcissistic and antisocial personality disorders added to the conversation that mental health care professionals have shared similar opinions of Trump for the last three-and-a-half years.

George Conway replied to Weissman: "For my part, I didn't realize how incompetent—and ill—he was. I couldn't have dreamed he was this bad. He's actually worse than many of his critics said he would be."

Weissman said it had been a "long hard journey" when responding to Twitter users who praised his changed opinion of the president.

A mother of a son with autism and neuromuscular disease commented that Trump mocked a man with similar disabilities and that she would never understand how any thinking, felling person could vote for Trump.

"I'm truly sorry for justifying his bad behaviors at the time," Weissman replied.
