Actually, it’s not a flip-flop

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3579592/posts

DONALD TRUMP (R), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: I would stay in Afghanistan. It’s probably the one place we should have gone in the Middle East because it’s adjacent and right next to Pakistan which has nuclear weapons. So I think you have to stay and do the best you can, not that it’s ever going to be great but I don’t think we have much of a choice. That’s one place, frankly, instead of going to Iraq we probably should have gone there first. I would say in Afghanistan and only, again, because of its location next to Pakistan.

O’REILLY: All right. So you would keep the 10,000 troops there. And fight a war of attrition against the Taliban? You know, Pakistan —

TRUMP: I hate doing it, I hate doing it so much. But, again, you have nuclear weapons in Pakistan so I would do it.

.

And now YOU know. :)

Spare some tweets from five years ago..as a presidential candidate DJT ran on staying and continuing to fight in Afghanistan.

You don't know me, so don't assume what I think or know. And you still can't provide me with an exact quote where Trump promised to bring the troops home from Afghanistan.
