President Donald J. Trump strongly condemned President Joe Biden and the catastrophe unfolding in Kabul, Afghanistan since the weekend, in an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity on Tuesday.
Trump told "Hannity" that Biden has humiliated the United States more than any other president in history, explicitly eclipsing fellow Democrat Jimmy Carter's Iran Hostage Crisis of 1979.
"It is a terrible time for our country. I don't think in all of the years our country has ever been so humiliated. I don't know what you call it – a military defeat or a psychological defeat, there has never been anything like what's happened here: You can go back to Jimmy Carter with the hostages,"Trump said.
Trump considered whether Biden will in one aspect cause an exponentially worse hostage crisis, as the Taliban currently has Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul surrounded by checkpoints–at which there have been reports of beatings and other violence.
"You are dealing with thousands and thousands of Americans and others that are stranded and very dangerously…in Afghanistan. So it's something that you can't even believe."
Trump said the scenes from the weekend where desperate Afghans clung to the side of an Air Force cargo plane's fuselage and later fell to their deaths when the aircraft reached altitude makes the U.S. Embassy airlift evacuation in Saigon in 1975 look small.
"I looked at that big monster cargo plane yesterday with people grabbing the side and trying to get flown out of Afghanistan because of their incredible fear – and they're blowing off of the plane from 2,000 feet up in the air, nobody has ever seen anything like that," he said. "That blows the helicopters in Vietnam away. That is not even a contest. It has been the most humiliating period of time that I've ever seen."

All to Demoralize
This Great Nation.
Not to be too apoplectical, but what Biden has done, is a crime against humanity, and he should be impeached and tried in the Hague. This kleptocrat should have long ago been put out to pasture, but it’s time to round up the ruling cabal, and see to it they’re ridden out of DC on a rail. Impeachment talk should be all the rage among republicrats and the demsheviks in a just world. Kamala deserves to be canned too, even if Pelosi gets the presidency, as nobody could do a worse job as president, Pelosi included.
I DESPISE Demoncrats! I pray that God’s judgement arrives while Biden is still in office!
NOT "canned"....caned!!!
Google "caning" + Singapore.
She needs a REAL "Singapore sling"!
Agree. Every word.
We’ve been there longer than Vietnam, right? At least in large numbers.
From the time Johnson escalated until the fall of Saigon was about ten years, wasn’t it? We’ve been in Afghanistan about twenty.
The main villains are the military brass who decided to close Bagram air base too early. There is hardly a punishment severe enough for whoever gave that order - and I doubt Biden was lucid enough to formulate it himself.
What's especially remarkable to me is how they — and their "willing accomplices in the media" ;mdash; screamed and cried and shouted about how they could do a much better job if only they were given power, how they would rectify the "numerous" mistakes that were being made by President Trump.
So they get power (by whatever means) and what happens? Disaster after disaster, with endless rivers of denial and obfuscation and blame-shifting. Re-definition of words like "success," constant hair-splitting and sophistry and re-framing.
I’m watching a recorded Hannity show with Trump on. He’s a real dude. Miss him. Hopefully he gets elected again.
I looked at that big monster cargo plane

Is it just me ?
Or has anyone noticed that the photos of folks,
well, men,
in those planes
having just left certain torture and death
.
and flying to the richest country on earth
.
who you would think would be wearing expressions
of giddy relief and extreme happiness
and gratitude to the point of tears
instead
.
look sullen , maybe even angry ??
Hmmm.
Allies
Or
Tallies ?
Ymmv.

I’m sure there are more than just a few jihadis in that crowd of men. But isn’t that the plan for a “new” America?
So what did the American people expect to happen when they either elected a demented, corrupt career politician or allowed that demented corrupt career politician to steal the Presidency?
The damage the Marxists have done since they stole the election is un-#ing-believable.
It appears to me that it is in progress.
Today I heard it claimed that in the past seven years, 100 American soldiers were killed in Afghanistan, and at this time, we only had a residual force of 2000 there.

Trump is not doing it on purpose. He can’t help himself. He really should stop talking, and let Biden keep diggin his hole. Trump is not being productive by making this about him.
I think he’s correct.
There’s still 10,000+ americans there.
Trump is making this aboutBiden and the stolen election.
