Trump went to Twitter to tell the world that he called off his Taliban meeting after an attack in Kabul. It's a fine reason to call it off but why he decided to air it publicly is more than a little problematic. It exposes what would have been a secret meeting between the two factions which only hurts the long term peace process Diplomacy can't be done by tweet, it has to be handled delicately and our president handles it all like a China shop bull.
His mistake is always that his gut tells him he's forged this understanding and relationship with adversaries some of whom have made it their stated goal to destroy America and then acts surprised when they do what people like Kim Jong Un or the Taliban do.
