The #Trump admin did not include the alleged threat to the #Taliban *leader* in its ofcl comms about the deal the then-president struck in 2020 to bring troops out of #Afghanistan. Taliban spox Zabihullah Mujahid hasn’t responded to Trump’s story….

The AP has reported there was no 1½ year stretch during Trump’s presidency w/o combat deaths among #US #ServiceMembers.

#Trump has talked about an “#Abdul” before in discussing the #Taliban. Trump in the past has said that then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo negotiated w/ “Abdul,” which could have bee a reference to top Taliban policy leader Abdul Ghani Baradar.

Baradar met w/ Pompeo in Qatar in 2020 & was among the group’s negotiators w/the Trump admin over the withdrawal of US troops from #Afghanistan.

By joining hands with DonOld Tramp and JD Couch, RFK, Jr. has added and additional layer of weirdness to an already weird situation.

The #MAGA movement is a danger to this nation. When the people running for office for the #GOP are people so strange, you have to admit that they aren't running for office to benefit the country. They are running for office to benefit themselves.

#Trump continued his commentary after the speech ended, appearing on #FauxNews to argue that #Harris has had plenty of time to accomplish the things she is now promising to do. “She could have done it 3½ years ago,” he said.

Trump offered a series of other criticisms, then concluded that other than that, “it was a nice-looking room.”

He kept talking but even Fox was bored by his rambling nonsense & finally cut him off.

#Harris said #Trump cozied up to #dictators, who she said are now rooting for him to win because he would be easy to manipulate. Trump responded, “There will be no future under Comrade Kamala Harris, because she will take us into a Nuclear World War III! She will never be respected by the Tyrants of the World!”

[apparently he doesn’t know WWI & WWII weren’t nuclear]

Other seriously #deranged nonsensical posts:

Trump several times tried to turn #Harris’s words against her. “She’s talking about the Middle Class, but she’s the one who broke the Middle Class,” he said in one post.

“I TRUST WOMEN,” he said in another, when Harris cited antiabortion proposals from Trump allies & asked, “Why exactly is it that they don’t trust women?”

“I saved NATO!”

The available data on #crime rates among #undocumented #immigrants compared w/the general population is incomplete, but an analysis by the #Republican-led House Judiciary Cmte concluded that about 10% of immigrants in removal proceedings had criminal convictions or pending charges.

[Other sources show that white Americans are far more likely to commit crimes see following boosted post]

#Trump’s rapid-fire commentary created the unprecedented spectacle of a former president & current nominee firing off critiques [insane rantings] of his rival’s acceptance speech in real time. While #Harris’s speech was in many ways a traditional convention address, Trump’s unorthodox reaction to it underlined his harsh, visceral style of politics & suggested the former president was glued to [& unglued by] Harris’s speech as it unfolded.

While #Harris recounted her upbringing, #Trump …[posted,]

“Kamala’s biography won’t lower prices at the Grocery Store, or at the Pump!”

He repeatedly criticized her for not already implementing her proposals during her time as VP [um, she isn’t president, idiot. She is #Biden’s veep 🙄], a critique he has previously aimed at Republican & Democratic opponents…. Meanwhile, Trump himself has already served a term as president.

Continued thread

Meanwhile, as she was speaking, #Trump was providing a running stream of criticism [losing his shit] on Truth Social, though in the same #unfocused & sometimes #confusing style that has marked many of his recent appearances. “IS SHE TALKING ABOUT ME?” he wrote in one post.
