BREAKING: Days ahead of 9/11 anniversary, Pres. Trump announces that he was set to hold secret talks with the Taliban at Camp David in the US this weekend but he has called off the talks after a US service member was killed in a suicide attack in Kabul.

Trump tweeted that he was scheduled to hold a secret meeting with Taliban leadership and, separately, the president of Afghanistan, Sunday at Camp David. The United States has been working on a deal to pull troops out of the country that harbored 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden and, in the process, end the nation's longest war.

"I immediately cancelled the meeting and called off peace negotiations," Trump tweeted."What kind of people would kill so many in order to seemingly strengthen their bargaining position?" 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. Unfortunately, in order to build false leverage, they admitted to..The Kabul attack killed 12, including a Romanian soldier, and injured 42. The Taliban took credit.

"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," Trump tweeted. The Taliban controls or heavily influences about half the country, and some U.S. officials fear it could invade the other regions.

This Trump guy simply has no clue just about anything. He is living in alternate reality

If the weather holds, he'll go golfing, otherwise he is forced to take executive time. If bored, he will hold one of his chopper talks and if there is any time left he works. That's when trouble hits America.

He and all the Republicans in Congress are not Patriots. They stay silent and say nothing when they learn he invited terrorists here.

Taliban on American soil Republicans should relish and Trump has solution to all issues NK IRAN CHINA and others reminds chosen one! High TV dramas and dreams

That he would even allow taliban to come to the USA, especially to Camp David, in the week of the anniversary of 9/11, is unconscionable. Donald is unfit to lead the USA. He is a detriment to any negotiation. SenateGOP VP act on the 25TH. Remove him!

Where are his keepers? Need someone in the job with him every morning monitoring his tweets.

trump is no good at keeping secrets.

He is so very much unfit for office...scary that the GOP doesn’t seem to care that he obliterates their “party” in the process

I'm calling BS. Trump would of made the Taliban stay at his DC hotel. It's not like they could be more of a problem than Ted Nugent.

“Announces” and “secret” talks in the same sentence. Reason? Logic? 🤔 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨

Oh this is rich, connecting the dots for your crazy Left Wing audience, good for you

Taliban at Camp David hah? Anyone else would have been invited to Mar-a-Lago? ? ?

Liar

WTAF?!

Listen to how Bowl the racist demagogue is bragging about how he was willing to, have the Taliban come to Camp Davis this weekend it shows the 🌎 he has no respect for the American people, we the people have no idea what is totaled Putin Kim Jong-un MBS he's willing to give up.

This is what happen when you put a White Racist Ignorant Whiteman in Charge

Lier in chief..Wow how could you invent such atrocity...

Right. Sure.

I see. And did he also invite Elvis, Spiderman, and Jimmy Hoffa?

I don’t believe him.

Secret talks in his head 🙄

That’ll teach em!😤

DerangedDonald is of course lying again

How ishe going to make money on that?

Can't believe he didn't host them at Camp David this coming Wednesday, 9/11...he's so damn clueless...then again, he did congratulate Poland on their invasion anniversary...

It was the Saudis

TrumpisFAT CheetoChristStupidCzar TrumpDerangementSyndrome

😂🤣And I was planning on meeting secretly with Santa Claus & The Easter Bunny at Camp Ticonderoga to discuss pieces (i.e. Reese's) talks.🤪 RexIsRight - This guy is such a moron. Patriots NewEngland realDonaldTrump brady serena taliban Pats SenWarren campdavid

Just send a few more MOABs to that Hell Hole!

Such a disgrace and do terribly wrong!!!

I can’t help but suspect that is yet another tweet intended to distract. Likely, there was never any meeting at Camp David, tRump is simply muddying the waters by creating another fictional event as he robs the US tax payers with yet another weekend of golf.

A Military family and served my brother just retired a Lieutenant Col. he has two children serving now GOD BLESS Our MILITARY and AMERICANS

I was secretly about to save some people from a burning building, and then the fire went back home. Don’t believe me? Ask the fire.

If pigs had wings, they'd fly.

I still feel bad for those soldiers that fell at Benghazi at it was Never solved just like Somolia when Clinton turned his back I am ftom

Liar.

OMG, he is stark raving mad!

I CALL BS..

Like y’all give a Fuxk about 9/11 pathetic

The Taliban didn’t know that realDonaldTrump had put them in double secret probation. He was able to do this because of a little known codicil in the Constitution that gives the President unlimited power to preserve order in time of national emergency.

Next time one of your pundits come up with the 'Republicans are afraid of Trump' & 'party over country' inanity:

Trump's full of 🐴💩 we all know he's trying to appear tough to his base, in reality he's the weak puppet Putin wanted 😡

So instead of mourning a service member here we are talking about trumps supposed meeting with terrorists. Guess his Alabama bs didn’t garner enough attention.

Has anyone told our idiot that allowing immigrants into the country is a lot safer than inviting in the Taliban? How much more of this nonsense do we have to take?

He cancelled a meeting. You’d think he traded 5 high ranking Taliban terrorists for a civilian trader...my bad. That was BarackObama How quickly you Liberal pigeons forget.

That is how stupid he is

May be he is doing his tactics !!! U MSNBC r fools. Finally there is a president of the 🇺🇸 that is respected and feared in the middel east!!! Obama was a joke and his diplomacy started the biggest immigration of muslims to europe

Now known to everyone...

The taliban at Camp David.... only a Trump would come up with that shit. To think members of the GOP are still backing him for 2020. Way to sell out America to line their own pockets.

Was he going to invite the Taliban to 9/11 memorial events next week? Jfc. This is so fucking gross.

Trump invited Taliban leaders to the US - and disinvited them after killing a few? What about the many who died on 9/11? Attempting to have a relationship with murderers of thousands of lives in America is most definitely TREASON. TreasonousTrump

I've NO doubt this is ALL about Donald Trump & what's on it for him. He's SO narcisstic & such a mean-spirited 🤡 assed parasite who is destroying everything & remaking it in his image. Seriously? This moron has said he's the Chosen one & the King of Israel. He has NO Honor.

How can anyone believe this habitually duplicitous FakePresident

As usual, there is more to this than his tweet states. Per Afghani news these talks were not going as well as we have been led to believe and Taliban would not sign as presented. Think we all need to wait for more information before believing or condemning

And he just changed the narrative and all we will talk about is this for a week.

How about all the Americans killed on the streets and in their homes every day?

Suuuuure...

I don’t believe it

Why the fuck would u let the taliban at camp david

What is the logic of tweeting out 'I'm cancelling secret talks'?

Trumpdistraction TrumpGibberish

So secret...he didn't even tell his trumpself

That is probably the biggest lie

Imaginary meeting was going to be held in Alabama

You expect people to believe this?

He is lying. Just another distraction

Sure he did

😳 Wait, what?!?! realDonaldTrump, you invited the Taliban to Camp David?! Are you crazy?! Wait......yes, yes you are!! 😳 ScaryTimes!!!

Another of his miserable failed foreign policy. The art of winning is now the art of losing.

Your words are Mud, who follows a Draft Dodger, who lies!

He really has lost his mind.

MeetThePress realDonaldTrump more fake news from our president. He is an expert at creating diversions when things aren’t going his way. Such a disgrace.

Just because they keep attacking doesn’t mean they don’t want peace😂😂😂😂😂

this is breaking news .... that would warrant interrupting reruns.

Another distraction

Liar, liar ginormous pants on fire 🔥

Noooooooo

Yes, well he needed to congratulate them! TrumpTaliban911

He’s lying...again!

Trump is a complete embarrassment

DidiFrench That is such a big dumb lie! Now the Taliban are really laughing!

Trump makes this announcement on twitter too. There’s no formal announcement but a social media twitter thing late Saturday evening straight from a goofball unprofessional shouldn’t be president.

How can you tell when he’s telling the truth?

Will the Republicans please tell Trump to stop these crazy things

Donald Trump is a disgrace.

To everyone in here bitching about realDonaldTrump with some fake BS: please, oh please, book a flight to the Middle East, take a camel to shitsville terrorism academy, and then blow yourself up with the rest of those lunatics. ARE YOU KIDDING?! He is trying to solve problems.

You dont bring enemies in camp david why are you even president

Prob good the talks were cancelled...The Wall - Mexico didn't pay for it. Iran - gaining on nukes. N Korea - rattling the area with bomb testing. China - tarrifs are hurting US businesses, farmers, consumers. Trump's track record on negotiations is pathetic at best

Because they said No to building a trump golf course and country club in Kabul?

tRUMP calling off “secret” Taliban talks at Camp David is hoax, fake news, huge lie. Meeting so “secret” the Taliban didn’t even know about it! This is the result of a president who lies about everything, including the weather!

Forget impeaching realDonaldTrump , send him straight to Guantanamo so he can be with all of his Taliban buddies!

Taliban? on US soil? What a ludicrous tale he tells. Topics bounce around for deflection purposes. He lies, we know this, but this, this is pure BS

dementiadonnie

Ya, that was Totally a thing.

Taliban at Camp David GTFOH

Aye, right.

Considering the source I am understandably skeptical.

How convenient. And coincidental.

MeetThePress Who knew?

yeah, nah, it's probably a big old load of bullshit. like everything else he 'announces' via his tiny twitter fingers.

Should say Trump *said* he was. You can't take his statements at face value.

Wtf, please get back to talking!

WTAF?!

This is an absolute lie, and the media just will not call him on it. it's not just the Republican party that is enabling Donald Trump, it's all the major news networks as well

MeetThePress Sure President Liar was going to give up Sunday golf to meet with the Taliban. Oh well might just as well play golf then while the Amazon burns and the Bahamas need help.

Why does realDonaldTrump make up this stuff? He seems unable to help himself. He gets in a hole with one lie (or 12) like the Alabama/Dorian thing and to distract from that he lies about Taliban talks. The sad thing is, if he ever tells the truth no one will believe him.

Good.

° It was called off because veterans were accusing realDonaldTrump of preparing to surrender to the Taliban. 🙄 Which he'll still most likely do if they up their offer. 💰 °°° °° ° TrumpIsATraitor LockHimUp

I lost track of Trump’s despicable “what if Obama?” moments sometime in 2017, probably when he doubled the membership fees at Mar-a-Lago. What’s your favorite Trump/Republican hypocrisy moment? whatifobama

Fake 45 🤡 said Camp David was a “dump”

🤥

SanchezMaree More likely he needs to golf Sunday, I mean monitor a hurricane...

MeetThePress He’s full of crap. He’s afraid.

calidoniast Smokescreen. The only reason to have a staffer tweet that is to keep our attention away from something else.

kim and Putin were coming in also

Hell you know this is a lie. Like Trump would actually use Camp David instead of one of his properties

Plus they continue to kill civilians by the scores weekly but T doesnt care about them and their peace.

Never forget? Looks like Trumpy forgot or he just doesn’t GAFF

You know that’s why they cancelled. At the last minute, one of those WH imbeciles looked at a calendar and said “oh, sh*t the Taliban will be here during 9/11 week...”

too bad trump is not believable- about anything

Probably moving to Trump Doral !!

Every f’n day!!! We need off this crazy train!! 🤬

I call BULLSHIT

Sundowning

Stupidest thing he’s done yet

The Force has def left this one.

Yaw believe Trump if you want to. sweet_cheri_pie sharpie

Trump has serious issues. Inviting terrorists to the U.S. (the same ones who dwell in our pain of 9/11) Hillary warned, but most were wearing socks over their ears.

I don’t believe this. This is a distraction from his sharpie on the weather map he made.

Liar

What a crock

lier-in-chief

IS ANYONE BUYING THIS?

BS. Not buying it!

He's so full of it. Everyone knows he can't talk.

And you believe that?

And 4000 other Americans 9/11/2001. WeWillNotForget

MeetThePress And WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND is going to actually BELIEVE THIS?

Sure he was........

Don’t believe anything this man says. Is that a way to run a country SpeakerPelosi? We have no trust in him.

Is doodling Donald telling tall tales again?

Donald Trump continues to confirm that he is a moron! He treats refugees like the enemy, while he makes friends with the real enemy!

Ahhhhh, the sweet smell of bullshit

Hmmm sounds like fake news to me..

MeetThePress He’s afraid. Got ahead of himself because he’s so grandiose. But when the moment came his bone spurs flared up and he ducked.

Yes, there’s always a tweet, ALWAYS! 💅🏼 CampDavid TalibanMeeting DumbAssInChief DerangedDonnie PresidentSharpie MoronInChief

I don't believe a word this idiot says....

smaurisak123 Breaking: Bloated Buffoon makes up fake meeting to fire up his base on the eve of 09/11.

Such a liar! ImpeachTrumpNowNANCY

A great man!

Sure he was!!! Just making it up as he goes throughout day on his golf course.

This one takes the 'WHAT IF OBAMA DID IT' cake. gawd, the gop are the most gutless, hypocritical, amoral collective since Westboro were in the news.

We don’t negotiate with Terrorists

Hold up, I thought we didn't do negotiation with terrorist

Remember when Obama invited the Taliban to Camp David? Neither do I because, it never happened! Republicans would have blown a gasket! Trump hates America!

Why would you bring the Taliban to Camp David ? A place that isn't on any maps

BUT , BUT THE AFGHAN LEADER CALLED IT OFF YESTERDAY

wants to build golf course in desert

Um, MSNBC, can you verify this before reporting it? Was this really a thing? I just don't believe it. I don't. And you all need to verify before reporting. The Taliban...during the week of 9/11? Seriously? What the f*ck is wrong with EVERYBODY? Meeting with a terrorist group?

Great... my brother just got back from Afghan a few months ago

Trump invited the Taliban to the U.S. for the 9/11 anniversary. ImpeachTrumpNow

He was upset they didn’t believe his Alabama story either

realDonaldTrump is 100% awful

He’s lying. Again. Trying to look like the big guy. Desperate.

He lies! Don't believe him.

The TALIBAN TALIBAN?

MeetThePress Who gave that clearance

Wait. Was he gonna Skype them or was he gonna transport terrorists into the United States to talk to them at Camp David? Or the third option which is he is just lying again.

Why are we negotiating with the taliban? Billions of dollars, thousands of lives and we didn’t accomplish a damn thing over there.

He is a clown. Sorry clowns.

Trump is a known liar...'Unbeknownst' to himself. Now back on topic... Prestwick Airport Trump Turnberry

Uh huh. Bull crap 💩!

Diversion. Keep covering this

Imagine being a US Soldier. A pilot. One who has served the country faithfully against enemies foreign and domestic. And then President Cheetos tells you to fly to the Middle East, pick up these terrorists and fly them into the United States. Unfuckingbelievable.

If it's on Twitter, it must be true.

REMEMBER: TRUMP IS A LIAR FIRST AND ALWAYS...

TrumpTraitor

Wow I

I doubt one word of this is true.

His latest fabrication!

more people are gunned down here by rw trump supporters than terrorist

Just to pretend he cares about military. He'll backtrack this shit In a week when something else more bizarre happens he be with the Taliban again. Say that again the TALIBAN Crazy person realDonaldTrump you are holy shit

That's another Trump lie. Anything he says means the opposite is the truth. Most likely, the Taliban cancelled.

Playtime with Spanky; tonight's game Battleship.

what does it have to do with 9/11?

Clueless!

This isn’t true. Taliban meeting st Vamp David no way

Either he is batshit crazy or this is another diversion tactic. Or both.

Every statement that deal with realDonaldTrump with the words... Allegedly and Unverified

No matter what you think of W, he would not negotiate with terrorists.

This seems like a thing that should be kept secret....

more trump B. S.

I just don’t believe it.

So funny

Lie LiarInChief ImpeachTrump

Trump story about Taliban/Afghanistan meeting in Camp David....TOTAL LIE! I KNOW because Donald Trump LIES! Just like ALABAMA....LIES!!! All he does is LIE!!!

Lol...ok dude

Omg what a semi-normal response!

He is lying. 😂😂

I’m 100% certain no such meeting was ever scheduled except in the orange turd’s imagination.

You don't/can't negotiate with terrorists.

I don't believe it one bit

Trump cannot keep secret foreign policy secret so everything fails

Americans, with half a brain, know he lacks any credibility with the spoken word. So, I'm not really sure this was ever a real thing anyway. He lies to cover lies. We are witnessing a failed presidency in real time. We are so screwed. Seriously, really screwed.

Believable.

If the talks were secret, why r u making the cancellation public? Makes no sense

Did he write it with his Sharpie? Because it sure sounds like more bull$hit to me. NonComposMentisBogusPOTUS
