Speaking to supporters on Saturday night, former President Donald Trump said he “kind of liked it” when the Taliban leader called him “Your Highness”. He appeared to be referring to details of a phone call with Abdul Ghani Barder, who served as the Taliban’s chief negotiator during a 2020 peace deal that ultimately led to the group’s recapture of Afghanistan last year.
Trump’s comments came during a speech at Turing Point USA, a conservative conference in Tampa, Florida. Trump also repeated his claim that the coronavirus originally came from a laboratory in Wuhan, China, where the epidemic began.
He also recounted an Air Force One flight over Islamic State-held territory near Iraq, saying he became upset when national security aides told him they would have to turn off the lights to “avoid being targeted.”
Trump’s political situation is not the best in recent weeks. In recent days, very embarrassing evidence has been heard about Trump’s conduct while his supporters broke into the Capitol building after the last US elections. The evidence shows that Trump not only did not try to stop the outbreak, but even encouraged it, and laughed when he was told that protesters were calling for his deputy, Mike Pence, to be hanged. Because he did not agree to sign the annulment of the election results.
