Taliban declares Donald Trump a 'non-serious' candidate after watching debate

A Taliban spokesman says that after watching Monday's debate, leaders of the group decided Republican nominee Donald Trump is a "non-serious" candidate.

Taliban leaders who were "very interested in watching" the US presidential debate took in the proceedings from a secret location. And it didn't take them long to decide that one candidate was something of a joke.

"Trump ... (says) anything that comes to his tongue," Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid told NBC News. &quot He is) non-serious.

He said the militant group's leadership had hoped that Afghanistan would feature more prominently in the discussion.

"There nothing of interest to us in the debate as both of them said little about Afghanistan and their future plans for the country," he said.
