I would say they are laughing. If he meant nuke Afghanistan, it would ruin the world. If he meant send his army in force, they would also need to set up a new factory for body bags. US and its allies have been owned by Afghans with little weapons.

He allegedly cheated on her with Marla Maples (Mrs Trump # 2) whom he cheated on with Melania
Never seen her smile so brightly, wonder why?
She's smiling more in that pic compared to her own profile photo.

For Pakistan, this summit will deliver results only if Trump wins in 2020. Having a democrat president in 2020 might well cause trouble for Pak.

Chance is very low. Unless Democrats mess up big time, we will see a new President after 2020 election.

Trump "t’s my great honor to have the very popular and, by the way, great athlete — one of the greatest "
Trump isnt so stupid to have a broken hand.
As for Trumps being elected again, depends who is up against. I have a feeling Michelle Obama might be put on a string to go up against him and you will see race violence during the campaigns which will result in democarts winnings. Any other opponent and Trump will win imo.

if modi says trump is lieing it will be interesting to see trump-modi relations going forward, if he accepts his warmongering people will not be happy, modi is in a catch 22 scenario.

(WASHINGTON) — President Donald Trump brought the leader of Pakistan to the White House on Monday to discuss a peace deal in neighboring Afghanistan, breezily declaring he could end the longest U.S. war in a week but doesn’t want to wipe the country “off the face of the earth.”
Afghanistan topped the agenda as Trump met with Prime Minister Imran Khan, with the president saying he hoped Pakistan would use its influence with the Taliban to advance a peace deal and help end the nearly two-decade old U.S. war.
But even as he talked up diplomacy and the prospects of peace, Trump claimed he could also easily win a war that began when the U.S. went after Osama bin Laden and his Taliban supporters following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
“I could win that war in a week. I just don’t want to kill 10 million people,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. “If I wanted to win that war, Afghanistan would be wiped off the face of the earth. It would be gone. It would be over, literally, in 10 days.”
Nonetheless, sitting alongside Khan, Trump said he wanted a peaceful resolution. “So we’re working with Pakistan and others to extricate ourselves.”
The pleasantries in the Oval Office were an abrupt change from when Trump cut millions of dollars in aid to Pakistan, saying the only thing it offered the United States was “lies” and “deceit.”
Khan has bashed Trump too, but now says Pakistan is also eager to work with the United States to end the war.
The United States wants Pakistan to use its leverage to get the Taliban to negotiate with the Afghan government and agree to a peaceful future for their country. U.S. envoy Zalmay Khalilzad has been holding talks with the Taliban for months, but so far the militant group has refused to talk directly to the Afghan government. There has been no let-up in terrorist attacks during the U.S.-Taliban talks.
“It’s the closest we’ve been to a peace deal,” Khan told Trump. “And I hope in the coming days we will be able to urge the Taliban to speak to the Afghan government and come to a political solution.”
Trump’s casual comments about wiping Afghanistan off the map will likely unsettle Afghans, who have fought against the Taliban alongside their U.S. and NATO partners for years. Afghans also are wary of Pakistan’s involvement in their country’s future. For years, the Afghans have accused Pakistan of creating instability in their country by giving militants a safe place from which to stage attacks across the two countries long, porous border.
As the war has grinded on, relations between the U.S. and Pakistan have gone up and down.
They reached rock bottom under former President Barack Obama when the U.S. carried out the raid on bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan without giving Islamabad a heads-up. The relationship didn’t improve when Trump took office.
In January 2018, Trump tweeted: “The United States has foolishly given Pakistan more than 33 billion dollars in aid over the last 15 years, and they have given us nothing but lies & deceit, thinking of our leaders as fools. They give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in Afghanistan, with little help.”
Khan, the former captain of the Pakistani cricket team who assumed office last fall, has fired back.
He tweeted that Pakistan has suffered 75,000 casualties and lost $123 billion in the “US War on Terror,” despite the fact that no Pakistanis were involved in the Sept. 11 attacks. He says the U.S. has only provided a “minuscule” $20 billion in aid.
Now, both countries say they want to smooth tensions.
Their meeting was much more than a courtesy call. Khan traveled to Washington with Pakistan’s top military official and the head of the country’s powerful Inter-Services Intelligence agency, or ISI, which has a long history of connections to militant groups.
Before he arrived, Pakistan arrested a radical cleric and U.S.-wanted terror suspect implicated in the 2008 attacks in Mumbai, India, that killed 166 people. The U.S. had offered a $10 million reward for Hafiz Saeed’s arrest, but for months, he lived freely in Pakistan.
Pakistan, which is suffering economically, wants to reset relations with the U.S. in hopes of securing more investment, trade and possibly a restoration of American aid that Trump cut. The president hinted that American aid could be restored depending on their talks.
There are important issues to discuss beyond Afghanistan, including energy, defense and trade. The two also will talk about India, an archenemy of Pakistan and Islamabad’s cozy relations with China.
They were also expected to discuss a U.S. demand that Pakistan release Dr. Shakil Afridi, a doctor who ran a fake vaccination campaign to help the CIA confirm the whereabouts of bin Laden and kill him in a May 2011 raid that the U.S. carried out without first informing the Pakistani government.
Trump also said that when he met recently with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he was asked if he would like to mediate a dispute between India and Pakistan over Himalayan territory of Kashmir.
Raveesh Kumar, a spokesman for India’s Ministry of External Affairs, tweeted afterward that “no such request has been made by the prime minister” and that all issues with Pakistan are discussed only bilaterally.

The real meeting and the real conversation.
Imran's meeting with Trump was only for the cameras so that cult followers can get excited over how Imran's body language was confident, how he was sitting relaxed like he does in Bunny Gala,
how he was the alpha male in the room, how the First Lady was beaming in his presence, how he stood between her and Trump instead of standing on the left like Modi, how Trump exposed Modi over Kashmir even though he has probably already forgotten what he he said.
Furthermore, while Bajwa was overseeing the meeting between Imran and Trump, Imran was not allowed to be in the Pentagon when Bajwa was discussing serious matters. I highly doubt that Imran has even been briefed on what was discussed.
[MENTION=138463]Slog[/MENTION] there was no possibility of Bajwa not meeting Trump and not overseeing his meeting with Imran. Trump and the U.S. realise who holds the real power in Pakistan and who makes the important decisions.

How can you say that when twice he's changed his mind on election day, voted PTI, and even before the sun was set and the final results announced, he had buyers remorse.

Lol even huge critics like Raza Rumi have said this is standard and would be worrying if not the case but here we have you coming from left field.
The trip has been very good for Pakistan’s image and Imran has Made the moves to win trumps support. Few years ago Nawaz Sharif and his family were literally thrown out by Obama (who is more sympathetic to us btw) and there wasn’t even a press interaction. This time it’s been different. And to top it off, trump takes about Kashmir in the White House which India is always loathe to. This is the first time Kashmir has been talked about in the White House for decades and usually when it is its about cross border terrorism.
This is arguably the best US trip (certainly in terms of optics) since Musharraf’s in early 2000s

You really are clueless.
How many Heads of States go and visit the Pentagon?
Hell, how many times have you heard a sitting US President going to the Pentagon?
Obviously, Bajwa was going there to meet his counterparts.

Time to make progress on success of Trump-Imran meeting: State Dept
The United States has said that it is time for Washington to build upon progress on the success of Prime Minister Imran Khan’s first meeting with President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
State Department Spokesperson Morgan Ortagus, in her weekly press conference, said the visit helped President Trump and Secretary Pompeo build a personal connection and rapport with the Pakistani premier.
“This meeting, of course, gave the chance for the president and the secretary to meet with Prime Minister [Imran] Khan, to build a personal connection and rapport. And now we think it’s time to make progress on the success of this first meeting,” she explained.
When asked how the State Department sees the Pak-US and Pak-India ties progressing after Imran’s US trip, the spokesperson said, “I would note one of the things that the prime minister says that he vowed to urge the Taliban to negotiate with the Afghan government. We are committed to peace in Afghanistan. We think that was an important step.”
“And there was a number of issues that were discussed not only in the president’s meeting but with the secretary’s meeting as well, and now is the time to build upon that meeting and to build upon those commitments,” Ortagus continued.
When asked about Imran’s statement that there would be good news on US hostages soon, Ortagus said the Trump administration had a “very strong record, actually, on getting American hostages returned”.
“We take human lives incredibly seriously, and we will use every means available at our disposal to secure and to see the secure and safe return of American citizens who are held hostage abroad. The prime minister [Imran Khan] did say that. We are, of course, working closely with the Pakistanis on recovering them. We think his statements were helpful and we’re of course hopeful that there will be some action proceeding those statements.”
President Trump gave a warm reception to PM Imran and his delegation including the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa and the head of the ISI intelligence service in the US.
The premier returned home from Washington on July 25 after the visit seen by supporters as a major diplomatic success, saying he felt like he had when he came back after winning the cricket World Cup.
PM Imran said Pakistan was able to present itself on equal terms with Washington. He was also positive the US president would also soon visit Pakistan.

When asked how the State Department sees the Pak-US and Pak-India ties progressing after Imran’s US trip, the spokesperson said, “I would note one of the things that the prime minister says that he vowed to urge the Taliban to negotiate with the Afghan government. We are committed to peace in Afghanistan. We think that was an important step.”
“And there was a number of issues that were discussed not only in the president’s meeting but with the secretary’s meeting as well, and now is the time to build upon that meeting and to build upon those commitments,” Ortagus continued.
When asked about Imran’s statement that there would be good news on US hostages soon, Ortagus said the Trump administration had a “very strong record, actually, on getting American hostages returned”.
“We take human lives incredibly seriously, and we will use every means available at our disposal to secure and to see the secure and safe return of American citizens who are held hostage abroad. The prime minister [Imran Khan] did say that. We are, of course, working closely with the Pakistanis on recovering them. We think his statements were helpful and we’re of course hopeful that there will be some action proceeding those statements.”
President Trump gave a warm reception to PM Imran and his delegation including the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa and the head of the ISI intelligence service in the US.
The premier returned home from Washington on July 25 after the visit seen by supporters as a major diplomatic success, saying he felt like he had when he came back after winning the cricket World Cup.
PM Imran said Pakistan was able to present itself on equal terms with Washington. He was also positive the US president would also soon visit Pakistan.

Trump is insecure and all countries have realized how easy it is to get to his good side. All you have to do is to praise him, treat him like a VIP and blame the American media for targetting him.
IK did a nice job in the US!
