Juan Williams Accuses Trump of Going to Afghanistan for a “Photo Op”
News Thud ^ | 2 DEC 2019 | Paul Goldberg

Posted on 12/02/2019 7:55:04 AM PST by ManHunter

During an appearance on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace, anti-Trump liberal Juan Williams, President Trump’s surprise trip to Afghanistan was a “photo-op” meant to distract from impeachment.

"Remember, he hadn’t gone to visit any war zone until last year, he was criticized for it. This is the first visit to Afghanistan, our longest war, 2,000 plus Americans dead."

"He had no preparation. He talked about a ceasefire but his military people said, ‘We know nothing about a ceasefire with the Taliban.’ And, the Taliban said they know nothing about a ceasefire."

"He then talked about negotiations with the Taliban. And again, his own diplomats said we know nothing about any ongoing talks with the Taliban."

"The president canceled talks with the Taliban last September if you recall after they were engaged in a violent incident."

Williams is like a pimple on your butt: annoying, but irrelevant

Fox is using Juan more and more in a variety of roles. I don’t know if I am the only one, but he turns me off so much that whenever his face appears on the screen I immediately change channels.

Since Juan’s son is purported to be a conservative Republican. I have always wondered if Juan Williams liberal stupidity is just an act. He’s paid to write & say stupid liberal things so he does.

This guy has no idea what happened. As he has no military history behind him, with a baccalaureate degree in philosophy that some colleges give online. How in the world could he even fathom what Trump was doing in a downrange area Williams has no idea of the current situation other than shots fired. Anytime a “commentator” hears and makes calls using nothing more than the news broadcasts, he lowers the IQ in the room. Another expert.

It simply means that all of the hostile press was not notified in advance. Trump did invite several reporters to cover this event, literally whisking them away to a place in DC where they were then taken to the departure airport...in total secrecy, so it was certainly not impromptu.

He wanted to go to Afghanistan to support the troops and to assure them that he is working on this problem - not only for reasons of security, but to avoid having the press metaphorically shoot down both our troops and Trump’s plans.

“Juan’s son is purported to be a conservative Republican.”

I think it’s more than that. IIRC, he’s active top levels of the the GOP organization.Juan knows better, and even if he doesn’t believe what he says and/or may be paid to play devil’s advocate, he’s a snarky bitch when he does it. I wish he’d go the way of Bob Beckel.

Juan’s an actor, just like all tv pundits.

Same thing with a good economy. It’s called democracy. People vote for politicians who deliver the goods.

“...especially when he’s forced to support the unsupportable”

99% of what comes out of his mouth is unsupportable leftist trash. He’s what God invented a channel-change button on the TV remote for. Heh.

I’m sure that Juan’s white friend, Sean Hannity, would take exception to that statement.

So, let me get this straight, he went above and beyond to keep the press in the dark about a photo op?

Given the leaking that has gone on, this took extraordinary effort to keep quiet... but he went through all the trouble of keeping it hush hush, JUST TO HAVE A PHOTO OP?

NO doubt that the the President knew he would enjoy good press from this, but seriously, if his motivation was simply a photo op, he would not have kept it secret...

Stupid... there was a time I thought Juan was at least somewhat reasonable, but its clear by now that like most leftists he’s lost all touch with reality.

I have a hard time listening to Juan, but he gets reamed out regularly on “The Five,” Fox News Channel.

So now I tune into Fox just to see Greg Gutfelt or Jesse Watters ream Juan as he cries, whimpers and whines like the Dem sphincter he truly is.

Probably. If you notice, they’re reading teleprompters.
