Afghan Ambassador: Differences Between Trump, Obama Is Stunning

A few highlights.
Afghan Ambassador: Differences Between Trump, Obama Is Stunning
quote:
From Obama's maiden voyage abroad, what some tritely coined an “American Apology Tour,” the president accepted and advocated a diminished American presence on the international stage. His administration dealt with a light, often inconsequential, hand in diplomatic relationships, preferring, in their own words, a “lead from behind” approach.
quote:
"I've personally met with President Trump at Mar-a-Lago and the president has had two phone conversations with President Ghani [The president of Afghanistan]. One call was after he won the election and one after [Trump] became president. Before the calls, we were advised to keep conversations short because, we were told, Trump will not be interested in the details of the call and does not have a long attention span, so it would be pointless to have a long call.
However, we were pleasantly surprised at how much time President Trump spent asking very informed questions. The first time the presidents spoke, the questions Trump asked impressed us. “How can you win in this fight [against terrorism]?” he asked. “What do you need to become financially independent?” and “How can American business invest in Afghanistan? How can we develop businesses and mining in your country?”
Trump would listen intently after each question, often asking follow-ups. Trump's second call with our president was even longer than the first. Asking these types of questions for our country is something the Obama administration never did. The Obama administration was the most academic administration we have ever had to deal with but the Trump administration has been the most thoughtful and intelligent.
Trump continually asked “How can you win? What does Afghanistan need to win?” in reference to our fight with terrorism. Trump wants to win. Sincerely. All the Obama administration wanted to do was not lose.
The Obama administration was hesitant with us. The enemy could sense that. When the Obama administration announced its plans to pull troops out of the region, they announced the exact date they would do it. All our enemies had to do was wait [Obama] out. They knew the date they had to hang on until — which gave them the will to fight. They used that time to recruit and build up resources.

Obama never cared about jobs because he never had one. He is a true parasite.

Yep. All we need to do is to let the Dems run Trump out of office and then we need to vote Democrat. The "USA" problem will be solved in a generation or two after that -- no more sovereign USA.
Then we can have what we really need -- World Government under the jackbooted heels of the Globalist Elites living in Ivory Towers.

I imagine it was the local Obama appointees which gave them the "short attention span" stupidity.

That admnistration's approach to combat is one of the most baffling things I've seen.

In effect, a Hunger Games society.

Actually, it was his Iranian born Senior Adviser that didn't care. Obama was just the puppet.

I love the idea of investing in the Afghan mining industry. Chinya has been benefiting by mining Afghanistan since we invaded.

These are positions that he held and are not descriptive of how he performed in those roles.
