To be as absolutely fair as possible, those photos of wearing western fashion are very eye opening.
Too bad this irony of the religious conservative end game will be lost on Trump.

If true, Trump absolutely deserves ribbing, but those photos of 1970s Iran and Afghanistan are always pretty sobering. Progress can regress really, really fast if you aren't careful (and as Americans are finding out as well.)
Trump is terrible (as he's proven again and again) but I'm not sure what angle they're going at with this story (or headline)?

Lmao exactly. Trump's mind was blown."they aren't savages living in caves?" - Trump
McMaster reportedly showed Trump a black-and-white snapshot of bare-legged women in Kabul to illustrate that the region might be able to embrace Western ideals again
Poor Onion writers.
The Onion, post if you are ok.
I swear to God the Onion writers don't get paid enough to have to work around this stuff.
Let me be perfectly clear: America will not rest until our enemies have been defeated and the Afghan people are free, unless I start to get frustrated by all this, come across some other thing that seems like a bigger deal, or see a segment on TV that says we should do something else, said the president, who called for the deployment of thousands more troops to pursue the Taliban until they were completely eradicated or until he lost interest in the situation. Anyone who stands in the way of freedom shall know that the United States will never surrender and will never back down in the face of evil, except maybe after a couple of months pass and I just dont want to deal with it any longer or some completely unrelated idea crosses my mind and I start running with that instead. Nothing, aside from maybe a personal feud with a media personality that occupies all my time and energy, will defeat our resolve. A solemn Trump went on to assure viewers that sending Americas sons and daughters to the front lines of a deadly overseas conflict was the hardest thing a president had to do after having to memorize a lot of things and sometimes sit through hours of briefings without eating.

"This will get those Mexicans I called rapists and criminals to vote for me!"
That ship has sailed a long time ago and increased military involvement won't bring it back.
Wahhabism was a mistake.
He's really put on a lot of weight since then. By the end of his first term, he's going to look like that fat vampire in the first Blade movie.
I would believe it.
Do we get him to stop trying to get Seoul nuked by showing him K-POP videos?

McMaster: "Mr. president if you build the wall and cancel NAFTA the US supply of taco salads will run out within a day"
Trump: "I've changed my mind!"
*shows picture of communist Afghanistan*
"Yeah they embraced western values"
Piss off.
Now this pic is from before that afaik, I have to be accurate but acting like 'they embraced OUR values!' has a disgusting undertone.
Photos of Afghanistan and Iran through the 1960s through 1970s are some of the most heartbreaking things to me. Beautiful progression brought down by religious zealots and literally regressed into medieval societies.
I'm not sure if you can really, at the same time, look at those photos from Afghanistan, Iran etc and say "What a shame, it used to be so much more free" (as everyone here does) and say "ha ha ha, Trump's an idiot for letting this be a compelling argument!" (ad everyone here is). It is a compelling argument - a demonstration that there was a time when this place embraced western values and aesthetics and it could do again. That's not enough on its own, but there's hardly evidence that this was literally the only thing.
Edit:
Sorry, communist?
People keep joking about stuff like this, but I really want to see someone actually try it.Someone send him a resignation letter that looks like a subscription card for playboy.
Using pictures and video is literally the only way people can get to have him pay attention to briefings ( http://www.newsweek.com/donald-trum...-top-secret-intelligence-briefings-big-617515People want to believe the Aghanistan briefing consisted of someone showing Trump a picture and it convinced him to alter his basic strategy.
To be fair, you really have to acknowledge there was a real briefing, and probably multiple high-ranking military officials gave presentations. There may have been questions and answers and a series of recommendations, etc.
This is not a defense of our president but rather an indictment of how far people are willing to go to highlight any sliver of information that paints the administration in a bad light,
