Former President Donald Trump slammed President Joe Biden’s disastrous withdrawal in Afghanistan during his rally Saturday in Cullman, Alabama.
“Biden failed totally on the pandemic and he’s now overseeing the greatest foreign policy humiliation in the history of the United States of America. This is the greatest humiliation I’ve ever seen,” he told the audience.
Trump added that Biden’s “botched exit in Afghanistan is the most astonishing display of gross incompetence by a nation’s leader perhaps at any time that anybody’s ever seen. Name another situation like this.”
He continued:
Vietnam looks like a master class in strategy compared to Joe Biden’s catastrophe. And it didn’t have to happen. All he had to do is leave the soldiers there until everything is out, our citizens, our weapons. Then you bomb the hell out of the bases, we have five bases, and you say ‘bye bye.’ You say, ‘bye bye.’ The scene of those big giant planes taking off with people hanging on the sides and falling off… there’ll never be anything like that. That’s worse than the helicopters. You remember the helicopters taking off the roofs? This blows it away. Not even a contest. This will go down as one of the great military defeats of all time and it did not have to happen that way. This is not a withdrawal, this was a total surrender, a surrender for no reason.

One of the absolute BEST lines of President Trump's rally tonight! ;-)
It’s Benghazi times a million, perpetrated by pretty much the same cast of characters. Although I don’t see Hillary around anywhere. She sure is keeping her yap shut all of a sudden.
Agree!
He had some zingers for the ages, tonight, didn’t he?
Best.
President.
Still.

People tuned in tonight looking for hope. Pres. DJT delivered again.
He’s Back!
Only Biden could have turned leaving Afghanistan into a public relations disaster on this scale
Most of the country WANTED us to leave and they are still mad at Biden for doing such an awful job of it. It really would have been a slam dunk for him too if he just followed Trump’s plan.
I seriously wonder if he even KNOWS what he’s done?
President.
Still.
AMEN, FRiend! :-)
It appears that he took every point of the plan and did the opposite. And got the opposite results too.
To Joe, all roads lead to Delaware and all actions lead to ice cream.
why hasn’t more been made of the bad optics of Kamala heading to Vietnam - scene of the earlier debacle? am presuming Vietnam is still on the itinerary. unbelievable:
17 Aug: Fox News: Kamala Harris plans Vietnam visit – just as Afghanistan draws comparisons to fall of Saigon
As of Monday, Harris had no plans to cancel her upcoming trip to Singapore and Vietnam, a report said
By Dom Calicchio
The timing probably couldn’t be worse for the Biden administration...
The prospect of Harris visiting Vietnam at this particular moment raised the possibility of the worst photo op for an American in that country since Jane Fonda donned a helmet there in 1972...

I’ve said on other threads, Biden and his people were only thinking about the optics and the political talking points by trying to time the withdrawal with the 20th anniversary of 9/11.
They had no other plan. They said they planned for every contingency but obviously that is not true. They just wanted the photo ops and the anticipated claim of “victory” by withdrawal, and didn’t care about the troops, the diplomats, the aid workers, and our allies on the ground from all the nations including the Afghans who will now be called ‘collaborators’ and face severe punishment or death. Some will be sold in slavery while everyone else forced to adapt to an entirely new social order under threat of violence.
People are stranded in all regions of the country and there was no plan to move them into secure, safe zones for transport. It appears they didn’t even give them fair warning to get out. We didn’t even put up a fight or attempt to destroy the military equipment when it was clear Taliban was approaching without resistance.
They claim they didn’t expect that the Afghan security forces would collapse but that has to be untrue. After 20 years our military intel had to know what these people were willing and able to do. Besides, they had collapsed already in every other city, it had to be obvious they would collapse in Kabul soon too.
President Trump does have a way with words...LOL!
Napolean's retreat from Russia.
Biden’s Botch should be taught about for centuries as an example of incompetence.
maybe ...maybe not...but those generals and commanders sure do...esp milley. punk belongs in Leavenworth..this is gonna stick to all of em or all time...
Exactly!
Yeah, even in RVN, we blew the shiite out of abandoned firebases. No way we would leave fortifications to the NVA. Let the bastards fill their own sandbags and dig trenches.
Bidet* probably had them sweep the floors before leaving.
