[edit][3] In a long, droning, low-energy speech, Trump appeared bored and tired. and therefore it was a bomb of a speech.. The day before, Kamala Harris unveiled a major tax policy proposal and a pledge to support 25 million new small businesses. In the speech, Trump's phrasing suggests that no troops were killed in Afghanistan during the last 18 months of his presidency. The WP confirmed that there was NOT A SINGLE 18-month period in Trump's presidency that did not see combat fatalities in Afghanistan; during the LAST 18 months of his presidency (before Biden took over), the database shows 12 deaths from hostile action IN THAT PERIOD. In fact, Trump and Mike Pence greeted the returning bodies at Dover Air Force Base. Those deaths occurred 11 months before the end of his presidency, while the suicide bombing at Kabul Airport took place in August 2021, seven months after Biden took office. That adds up to 18 months, but it's not what Trump was claiming in the video. Trump, who negotiated the withdrawal from Afghanistan that Biden later implemented, has bragged about the 18-month claim at rallies across the country.
