Editor s Note: A statement in this article was incorrectly attributed to Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid. It was told to CBS News by another senior Taliban leader. CBS News has corrected that attribution and added additi stanley kubek onal statements from the interview with Mujahid.President Trump s reelection bid received a vote of support Friday from an entity most in his party would reject: the Taliban.Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid told CBS News in a phone intervi stanley cups ew, We believe that Trump is going to win the upcoming election because he has proved himself a politician who accomplished all the major promises he had made to American people, although he might have missed some small things, but did accomplish the bigger promises, so it is possible that the U.S. people who experienced deceptions in the past will once again trust Trump for his decisive actions. Mujahid added, We think the majority of th stanley cup e American population is tired of instability, economic failures and politicians lies and will trust again on Trump because Trump is decisive, could control the situation inside the country. Other politicians, including Biden, chant unrealistic slogans. Some other groups, which are smaller in size but are involved in the military business including weapons manufacturing companies owners and others who somehow get the benefit of war extension, they might be against Trump and support Biden, but their numbers among voters is low.

Over 21 months of campaigning, Obama has promised a new brand of government that would negotiate a health care plan on C-SPAN, require agencies to conduct business in public, and force lob cups stanley byist meetings into the open. It s not yet clear how a nominee who s stanley botella maintained such tight control over his campaign would transition into a president who opens his administration to public scrutiny. The intention of all of these pr stanley cup usa oposals are admirable, and I have no doubt that government can move some considerable distance down this road, but I just donrsquo;t think President Obama will be able to get as far as he wants to, said William A. Galston, a former policy adviser in the Clinton administration and a senior fellow at the liberal Brookings Institution. Transparency and efficiency are not conflicting principles, Obama spokeswoman Jen Psaki said in a statement. In fact they often work hand in hand as a more transparent government is a more accountable government. From the beginning, this campaign has been about
