Wesley Hunt claims Trump once openly told Taliban leaders 'I will kill you' but trolls call it fake story

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In a recent interview on 'The Sage Steele Show', Representative Wesley Hunt (R-TX) shared what he described as his "favorite" story about former President Donald Trump.

The anecdote revolves around a pivotal negotiation with Taliban leaders during Trump's presidency, highlighting what Hunt sees as Trump's firm stance on protecting American interests.

Rep Wesley Hunt recalls Donald Trump's open threat to Taliban

Hunt recounted how Trump, alongside then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, insisted on a "conditions-based withdrawal" of US troops from Afghanistan.

During these intense negotiations, Trump delivered a blunt message to the Taliban leaders, "If you harm a hair on a single American, I will kill you," Hunt recalled. The directness of Trump's threat visibly stunned the translator present at the negotiation. Unwavering, Trump demanded that his words be relayed exactly as spoken, "Tell him. Just tell him what I said!"

"What happened next was incredible," Hunt continued. "Trump reached into his pocket, produced a satellite photo of the Taliban leader's home, and handed it over. Without further discussion, Trump got up and walked out of the room."

Reflecting on the outcome of Trump's approach, Hunt emphasized that under Trump's leadership, the United States experienced an unprecedented period of 18 months without any US casualties in Afghanistan. "This was the definition of strength," Hunt asserted, contrasting it with what he views as the current administration's shortcomings.

Rep Byron Donalds compares Joe Biden to 'bully in the schoolyard' 

Hunt's colleague, Representative Byron Donalds (R-FL), who also participated in the interview, criticized President Joe Biden's foreign policy decisions. Donalds pointed to the closure of seven US embassies under Biden's leadership as evidence of what he described as a weakening of America's global stance.

"It's no different than the bully in the schoolyard," Donalds remarked. "If you're timid and the bully knows he can get away with it, what happens? He comes for your lunch money every single week, every single day—until you punch back."

Hunt and Donalds have thrown their support behind Trump's 2024 presidential campaign. Recently, during a presidential debate, an advertisement sponsored by Hunt's Hellfire PAC aired in multiple states, spotlighting Biden's track record of "discriminatory policies" and "racially insensitive" comments.

Meanwhile, Donalds officially endorsed Trump in April 2023, shortly after the Republican primary gained momentum following the 2022 midterm elections. Rumors suggest he is being considered for a spot on Trump's list of potential vice presidential candidates.
