Former President Donald Trump CRITICIZES Biden’s Callous Decision To Pull Out Of Afghanistan

Former President Donald Trump blasted the Biden-Harris administration on Monday for its “gross incompetence” in executing what he said was a “botched and dishonorable” U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.

The explosion at Hamid Karzai International Airport, the largest civilian airport in Afghanistan occurred on August 26, 2021—the third anniversary of Trump’s comments killed 13 US troops and about 60 Afghans.

“This is the third anniversary of the BOTCHED Afghanistan withdrawal, the most EMBARRASSING moment in the history of our Country. Gross Incompetence — 13 DEAD American soldiers, hundreds of people wounded and dead, AMERICANS and BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF MILITARY EQUIPMENT LEFT BEHIND,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social. 

“You don’t take our soldiers out first, you take them out LAST, when all else is successfully done. Russia then invaded Ukraine, Israel was attacked, and the USA became, and is, a laughing stock all over the World,” he added.

The soldiers killed in the bombing were Marines Sgt. Darin T. Hoover, Sgt. Johanny Rosario Pichardo, Sgt. Nicole L. Gee, Cpl. Hunter Lopez, Cpl. Daegan W. Page, Cpl. Humberto A. Sanchez, Lance Cpl. David L. Espinoza, Lance Cpl. Jared M. Schmitz, Lance Cpl. Rylee J. McCollum, Lance Cpl. Dylan R. Merola, Lance Cpl. Kareem M. Nikoui, and Navy Petty Officer Third Class Maxton W. Soviak and Army Staff Sgt. Ryan C. Knauss.

President Joe Biden also mentioned the bravery and sacrifice of the fallen soldiers in a statement on the anniversary.

“These 13 Americans—and the many more that were wounded—were patriots in the highest sense. Some were born the year the war in Afghanistan started,” he said. “Some were on their second or third tour. But all raised their hand to serve a cause greater than themselves—risking their own safety for the safety of their fellow Americans, Allies, and Afghan partners.”

“They embodied the very best of who we are as a nation: brave, committed, selfless. And we owe them and their families a sacred debt we will never be able to fully repay, but will never cease working to fulfill,” he said.

Biden took heat in June during a debate with Trump, when he said no American troops died on his watch — an untrue statement.

“Truth is, I’m the only president this century that doesn’t have any — this, this decade — that doesn’t have any troops dying anywhere in the world,” he said.
