Trump strategy is (I guess) take money from the poor…and give it to the taliban for some reason?

I’m seeing a lot of “Republican backlash” articles over the last two weeks. Wake up when they actually take action.

Republicans are calling out the Trump administration after $45 million was reportedly sent to the Taliban in Afghanistan by the Department of State on Monday.
Among those reacting to the reports was Tennessee Representative Tim Burchett, who has introduced a bill aimed at stopping tax dollars from being given to the group that regained control of Afghanistan in 2021.
“Every week,” Burchett posted on X in response to the reporting. “Pass my Bill Senate!”
Why are they upset about it? Trump has been a friend to the Taliban since his first term. Of course he’s going to send them money.

How much “Republican backlash” do they need to muster to do a single fucking thing about any of this?

Wait, so he’s the one who kicked off the withdrawal shortly before leaving creating chaos, criticized Biden for his mess and is now sending money there?
I’m REALLY curious what he is getting out of this as the whole thing is baffling.

How many virgins will he get for that money?

Don’t forget tho we can’t have student loan forgiveness, but we can continue funding the Taliban and bailing out Argentina

So let me get this straight… the same people who say ‘we don’t negotiate with terrorists’ are now mad that their own team negotiated with terrorists? Peak 2025 energy.

This is hilarious when you consider that every other post on the Conservative subreddit is yapping about how awful Muslims are and how they believe that they shouldn’t be allowed in the country. Meanwhile, their president is sending $45 million to the Taliban and accepting jumbo jets from Qatar.

If only there had been some kind of previous indicator that Trump was allied with the Afghani Taliban. If only he had signaled, in some way, that he would give them what they wanted.

Since it’s Trump I will just go ahead and assume the money is being used as payment for Heroin or some other nefarious thing, He seems incapable of not being evil so he would have cut off the money otherwise.

Lmao and they wonder why we have “tRuMp deRaNgeMenT sYnDrOmE” – these damned republicans are mind-blowingly hypocritical, and anti-American. Not to mention lawless, corrupt, unethical, immoral, inhumane, ultra-violent – I could go on but I digress. The hypocrisy is making me crazy.

Argentina, the Taliban, Overwhelmingly Republican farmers? All get big checks. Billionaires? Trillions in tax breaks.

Lmao the absurdity of all this money being sent to all these different outside places is just highlighting how made up & unserious everything about our economy and country is.
It’s basically the tagline from Whose Line— Everything’s made up and the points don’t matter.

Today I learned that the Taliban bribed the President of the United States.
I’m sure brows will be furrowed and a STERN letter will be sent admonishing him from the next Republican lawmaker to retire.

“America First” until Trump hears Israel, Russia, North Korea, Argentina, and now the fucking Taliban need money.
What a massive “F**k you” to the troops who fought against the Taliban just for us now to fund them.

So Trump is sending terrorists our money. I guess Republicans can no longer bitch about Iran getting their frozen funds.

So not only did trump sign over the US airbase to the organization that helped provide protection for those who masterminded the 9/11 events, (and recently threated Afghanistan for its return) now he wants to send them $45 million
WTF!

So instead of giving this money to Ukrainian or other nations that need it. We send it to people who hate America
