I'm going to give you my favorite President Trump story. This is my number one favorite of all time. When we were negotiating with the Taliban, while President Trump was still the president, President Trump wanted to get out of Afghanistan, but he wanted a conditions-based withdrawal, meaning that you do what we tell you to do, and then we will start pulling troops back slowly, as long as you abide by our rules. It's President Trump and Mike Pompeo, and they are talking to Taliban leadership in the room, and they had one translator in the room. President Trump looked at the Taliban leader and said this, "I want to leave Afghanistan, but it's going to be a conditions-based withdrawal," and translator translated. And he said, "If you harm a hair on a single American, I'm going to kill you." And translator goes, and Trump goes, "Tell them what I said." "Tell them what I said." Reached in his pocket, pulled out a satellite photo of the Taliban's home, and handed it to him, got up, and walked out the room.
