"They were coming to the United States tonight," Trump tweeted.

President Donald Trump on Saturday said he canceled secret meetings with Taliban leaders and Afghan president Ashraf Ghani set to take place Sunday at Camp David and called off ongoing peace negotiations after the Taliban admitted responsibility for a recent attack in which a U.S. soldier died.

"Unbeknownst to almost everyone, the major Taliban leaders and, separately, the President of Afghanistan, were going to secretly meet with me at Camp David on Sunday. They were coming to the United States tonight," Trump tweeted."Unfortunately, in order to build false leverage, they admitted to 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.

Trump continued: "They didn’t, 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 don’t have the power to negotiate a meaningful agreement anyway. How many more decades are they willing to fight?"

TRUMP SAYS A LOT OF SHIT. BTW, LET TALIBAN HAVE THEIR POUND OF TRUMP FLESH, THERE IS MUCH THEY HAVE TO TEACH HIM & WOULD BE INCREDIBLY HAPPY 2 DO SO.

_camina_real I don't believe any of what Trump is saying

Nothing to talk about 🤡

How do we know that their was a meeting in the first place?

I fail to comprehend why realDonaldTrump felt compelled to announce the cancellation of a “secret” meeting. Was the real news of the day causing him a bit of fear?

If this story is true, djt HAD TO COME OUT AND SAY HE CANCELLED THE MEETING WITH THE TALIBAN BEFORE IT GOT OUT. THAT...THEY...CANCELLED THE MEETING. THATS HOW djt’s EGO ROLLS.

Why Camp David? Why not the Doral property? The Taliban would have behaved better for the opportunity to line trump’s pockets and have more influence over trump, maybe even become friends

Sure. Bring the Taliban to American soil to bask in luxury 3 days before 9/11. Maybe you can take them sight seeing to the Pentagon so they can get a closeup look.

He’s lying. Again. There was never any meetings no the the Taliban. Just another attempt at diverting. If no one knew about the meeting, why would he feel the need to tell everyone he cancelled it?

Great headline. Everyone should read this way. Trump says .... and then everyone can just guess if it’s true or not. But it probably won’t be.

Why would he even tweet this, unless it was about to be released by the news? And I’m not buying the claims of why he canceled either...

Does anyone else think Trump is trying to get kicked out of office, but the ejection process is preventing it?

Perfect headline. Trump SAYS he cancelled .... SAYS in his case means LYING and we all know it TalibanInvitedToCampDavid is another realDonaldTrump diversion.

the Presidency of Donald Trump disclose how much American politics is sick and dirty simple like that ! u dont need to be a genious to understand the present time

If perchance he should get 'Taliban leaders' to enter the US. Simply kill them. Slowly.

So many creative excuses to be able to hit the links.

If Obama would have done this shit, the media especially Fox would have exploded 🤨. Chump is stupid AF. We really have no idea what TF this guy is doing and what his motives are for doing it😳

Maybe they didn’t have enough money to buy his attention.

It's safe to assume it is because Taliban don't play golf. Or play golf way better than Individual 1.

Was he the only one that knew about it? If he did actually invite, his canceling the invite would indicate they declined or canceled.

I call bullshit.

More BS from the top BS'er!!!!

So realDonaldTrump..., WHO set up this SECRET meeting? Certainly NOT you!!! Was it jaredkushner? IvankaTrump? DonaldJTrumpJr? or EricTrump? Are you taking terrorists money now?

BULLSHIT

Liar.

This imbecile has caused so much chaos in the country. Time for it to END!

Only in his demented mind. delusional 25thAmendment BatShitCrazy

Hahahahahahahaha secret!!! But he opens his pie hole about it, the lying continues!!!

Inviting terrorists who kill American soldiers to America?who in their right mind would do that?

Sorry. I don’t believe a “f’ing word he says”. He’ll say anything to make himself look important.

And 3 days before the anniversary of 9/11. The gall.

Why would they meet in the first place?

It was so secret Taliban leaders & Afghan President didn’t even know about it

realDonaldTrump

Do you think he made this up?

Bow we are making great deals with the Taliban?

RIP Sgt 1st Class Elis A. Barreto Ortiz 34yrs old Just killed by Taliban suicide bomber.

Don’t believe it. Never happened. Nobody in this administration tells the truth about anything, ever. No reason for Taliban or Afghan officials to negotiate with Trump, who is the weakest, most corrupt, least credible President in US history.

If the Taliban were to deny such a meeting was ever scheduled, who is more believable?

Good Lord. Can you imagine how horrible that meeting would have been? Maybe Trump could have taken them golfing?

Good thing too, because they weren’t going to have any sharpies there

I don’t need aides to tell me he’s losing his mind. He’s lost it a long time ago. Maybe draw him a new one!?

Oh sure bring them here for 9/11? How disgraceful to the families. Disgusting.

Just more lies

He is lying

SueLeugers He wants to ban reporters from the WH, wants to keep 2 of our congresswomen from Israel but the Taliban can come to Camp David.

He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it. Martin Luther King Jr.

Absolute BULLSHIT.

Trump had a bad case of, hemorrhoids.

He actually meant Alabama Republicans. In his defense, it's really hard to differentiate the two.

If it would be an “extraordinary moment in the history “ why he cancel it ?

How could he consider inviting an enemy, the Taliban, into the US let alone to the presidential retreat house? Who else knew about this at the White House abs the CIA/FBI? We must know!

..and guess what we’re not talking about anymore..Trump’s corruption.

The guy doesn't know how to play golf?... Trump can't believe it!

More outlandish lies.

Gee I was about to turn all my beer into gold coins but screw that now, I guess I'll just have to drink it.

It’s a distraction from the graft story. Ignore.

Another lie, like Trump phone call with China over tariffs.

Speechless.

Do you think this cancelled “secret meeting” was so “secret” it didn’t exist? We all know tRUMP is a liar and a master at distraction and deception and he cannot be trusted. Need accurate fact checking and reporting on what may be another lie from tRUMP. Truth is tRUMP’s enemy!

And if my grandmother had wheels she would have been a bus.

Do you really believe this 🤦🏻‍♀️? Are you that naive

Taliban leaders travel to US?

And it was going to be the best secret meeting ever held in secret with the biggest secret crowd in history. realDonaldTrump

Not believing anything he says or tweets anymore until it's confirmed by 3 reliable sources.

f..k the sundays talks! who cares? what's outrageous is this messy, ignorant half man in charge of important things. his brain (or lack of) is a Russian roulette.

Suuuuuuuuuuure he did.

Impeach the Mo FO!

Yeah, and I got Putin sittin' in my kitchen right now.

More like extraordinarily stupid, or, par for the course for this crowd.

Extraordinarily bad you sjouke have written

I commend Trump for considering these negotiations with the Taliban. In matters of foreign policy, one has at times to find a certain diplomacy with people and groups whose ways we do not ethically condone. So it is with the Taliban: Afghans deciding their own political fate.

You wanted to bring the Taliban to USA the week of September 11. Stop it. You lie. Or you really are dumber than a box of rocks

Does ANYONE believe this? And if it WERE true, meeting with terrorists on American soil on the eve of 9/11? Indefensible.

“Trump said...”. Enough said. Just the idea is horrific of negotiating with terrorists and bringing them to the US as guests just before 9/11. Beyond insanity. Start impeachment proceedings now.

The photo up of shaking hands on 911 would not have gone over well

More Trump bullshit.

Extraordinarily traitorous.

He can’t go a week without releasing classified information.

Yeah. I canceled a meeting beteeen myself and Elon Musk where he was gonna put 100 million in my startup idea. It would’ve been cool. But I was like “naah”.

Why? Did the secret talks interfere with golfing?

What a bafoon Trump is - ridiculous

He announced it now as a distraction from the military/golf resort scandal

An extraordinary moment? Having them here on the anniversary of 9/11? What’s wrong with you to even think this is acceptable. If they were coming here tomorrow they would’ve likely have been in the air when he canceled the talks! It’s a 13 hour flight! WHAT A DISGRACE!

It would have been a total disgrace in a long line of total disgraces

Open border Dems upset about these potential voters?

To scare the Taliban into submission, Trump should take them to the Doral Club.

Does anyone believe this? I don’t .

Yeah....right. NOT!

Are you reporting that this is true?

Meeting with a terrorist group. On American soil. That’s brilliant.

Perhaps realdonaldTrump could negotiate a surrender with these two instead.

Maybe there was nothing the Russians would gain.

None of which was actually going to happen and reporting it as face value just because Trump tweeted it is shitty journalism. stenographyisntjoirnalism

I believe him, since everything he says is 100% true.

I think he's lying about it ever being a thing for the clout

His mental state is quickly deteriorating. Bigger lies on the way. UnfitToBePresident realDonaldTrump

Top 5 of dumb ideas by Trump. Inviting Taliban during the week of 9/11

The same week as 9/11

Is this another lie?

I really find it hard to believe realDonaldTrump had any meeting set up. Why wouldn't you have them at the White House too? Delusionaldonnie LiarInChief

Because they were secret meetings, you decide to tweet about them?

He’s a liar.

Was it a double secret meeting, based on a pinkie swear? This president is an embarrassment

Any verifiable evidence (not created by NOAA or any other Tump lackeys) this was really happening tomorrow? Anything

No talks were ever happening. The president is a liar and isn't to be believed.

He’s blowing smoke Up everyone’s A**

Shhhhh.....That was the quiet part!!!!!!

So many things wrong here: Secret Taliban meeting...at Camp David? Announced cancellation of secret meeting? Sometimes, silence and decorum is okay. Professionalism, even better. Being Presidential...priceless.

on_bender 1 clue that he is lying is that the meeting was going to be held at Camp David. If it really was going to happen it would have been at one of his properties. He never misses an opportunity to be the GrifterInChief

Was that before or after the story broke about the airport, the army in Scotland?

Is ISIS coming next week?

how do we know if it was secret

Who believes this?

I heard he couldn't get Frederick Douglass to attend, and couldn't get Air Force One flight out of Revolutionary War era airport

When times get tough the weak run away!! It’s all he knows.

They were going to be blindfolded at the airport

I call BS

But her emails!

😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣mmkay 🤪🤪more FakeNews

It bothers me that Taliban leaders would be admitted into the US.

This is what happens when your “president” lies all the time - you have no way of knowing what is true- and why is this on tweeter and why are the Taliban coming to United States? Is this crazy or not

I don't know for sure but this sounds like a lie. I can't imagine Taliban leaders ever coming to the US let alone Camp David.

So secret, bet they didn’t even know.

Can’t believe anything Trump says - is this a way to get out of “peace talks”

Putin told him to cancel, per JuliaDavisNews

Negotiations with evil terrorists. Defend that republicans.

I don’t believe anything he says, and he doesn’t provide evidence to prove that he is not lying.

Hahahahaha. You make me giggle

Good job trump. You should show the TAILBAN AND AFGHAN PREZ to use twitter. So that all parties involved would then be truthful. Your tweets are not believable. Next time invite them to MAR LA GO. alittle golf. Some food. A massage, with young boys. Taliban likes boys.

Mar-A-Lago would have been COMPLETELY inappropriate. EmolumentsClause

Well, thank God this complete horseshit?

I say he’s Lying😑

More and more Delusional

Winning

Hurry up Nancy

It wasn’t for any logical reason. They just scheduled it when he was golfing

He invited leaders of the Taliban to U.S. soil?

WTF

that’s nothing, I cancelled a secret meeting with Brad Pitt

😂 yeah right! Pull the other one

options: 1 there really was a meeting planned, which opens a whole kettle of totally unhinged insanity fish 2 this is as real as the china calls, his riches, and moscowmitch's soul (and opens a different, but no less impressive, kettle of said insanity fish.) place your bets!

I cancelled 12 secret meetings this morning alone.

He’s such an 🍊💩. My hubby is in Afghanistan, and everything POTUS does puts him in increased danger. ImpeachTrump

Has to away from the sharpies so he starts with another lie.

Why are you assuming this is true ... Trump lies ... all the time ... about everything.

There is no way in hell the Taliban would agree to meet on American soil. They're not stupid.

Lunatic fringe

Now it’s not a Secret anymore. What an idiot.

Why? Did he change their plane reservations with his Sharpie?

Oh snap...they probably wouldn’t agree to Trump’s precondition of a stop in Duneberry to fill up the jet and grab some shut eye. Who’d have thought that the Afghans could ever show more will power than our Military Brass. It’s an upside down world.

I believe you meant President Chump

I suspect this didn’t happen how he’s describing it.

He's negotiating a 'peace' deal while they continue to kill our service members. Just pull everyone out of there. If they start allowing terrorist camps to prop up, use the B-52's and B-2's to carpet bomb them into oblivion.

Did he just realize the date?
