You would think it was a joke!

The Herald reports:

The Canadian man rescued from the Taliban after being held for five years thought his captors were playing a joke on him when they said Donald Trump was president of the United States.

Joshua Boyle, his American wife Caitlan Coleman and their three children – two boys and a baby girl – were kidnapped and held hostage by a Taliban-linked extremist network for five years.

According to Boyle, the family were rarely given any information about the outside world.

But when he was forced to participate in a ‘proof of life’ video, he was informed Donald Trump had been elected president.

Boyle told the Toronto Star he thought his captor was making a joke.

“It didn’t enter my mind that he was being serious,” he said.

He was kidnapped in 2012, so no surprise he thought it was a joke.
