Man rescued from Taliban: I thought my captors were kidding when they said Trump was president
BY JACQUELINE THOMSEN - 10/16/17 09:11 AM EDT
A Canadian man who was recently freed after being held in Afghanistan by Taliban-tied kidnappers for five years said he thought his captors were joking when they told him Donald Trump was president.
Joshua Boyle told The Toronto Star that one of the captors said Trump was elected president before he was forced to film a “proof-of-life” video.
“It didn’t enter my mind that he was being serious,” Boyle said.
