BEDMINSTER, New Jersey — Former President Donald Trump told Breitbart News exclusively that his successor President Joe Biden’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan is the “single most embarrassing moment in the history of our country.”
Trump’s comments came in a lengthy and wide-ranging nearly two-hour-long exclusive interview on Wednesday evening at his office at his golf club in northern New Jersey where he has been living and working for the last several months. The interview, which took place before Thursday morning’s horrific terrorist attack in Kabul at Hamid Karzai International Airport — an attack that claimed the lives of 13 American service members and many Afghans, as well as injuring many more — and moments after senior Biden administration officials attempted to downplay the number of American citizens still stranded in Afghanistan more than a week after the Taliban swept back into control across the country.
“Well, the only thing that surprised me is that everybody knew how absolutely stupid this situation in Afghanistan was, that it should have never ever been this way,” Trump said. “Because everybody knows. A child would know, you take the military out last. You get everybody out, then you get all the equipment — you take your $83 billion worth of equipment — then you blow up the bases. And perhaps you stay at, you take a certain area that you may want to keep like Bagram and keep the base Bagram because it’s next to China and Iran. It costs billions and billions of dollars to build. And maybe you keep that for other reasons. But everybody knows that you take your military out

I would substitute the word “shameful” for “embarrassing”.
I’ll take a mean tweet over a wussy twit any day!
You have my permission to reuse this brilliant slogan. (I got the idea from Terrence Williams.)
Agreed, and it's time that Biden and team admit their failures and stop with the "we got 100,000 afghans out" BS. If I hear that ridiculous obfuscation again I'm going to throw something at my TV.
Like Churchill “in the wilderness”.
It’s awful, but Trump has a thing for hyperbole.
‘Epic Failure’ comes to mind.......................
What’s more embarrassing or shameful?
No hyperbole required for this fiasco......................
This can’t be explained by mere incompetence. It appears to be a deliberate effort. All the woke 30-year olds in the Biden administration cannot account for this. My guess is there is a plan being rolled out (treasonous) and its intention is to deliver a failure so spectacular it will crush the spirits of not only U.S. military personnel but the American people, as well as destroy the trust our allies have in this country. Our volunteer armed forces will never see another enlistment and every active duty servicemember will leave at the first opportunity. Our allies will desert us and we will withdraw from every corner of the globe. The end of American military hegemony is the goal.
Cui bono?
This makes Dunkirk look like a beach party..................
Even if it wasn’t planned that is the ultimate effect.....................
Dunno. There are some other pretty good examples:
Democrats enslaving Irish and Blacks
Democrats ignoring Hitler
Democrats supporting Stalin
Democrat Wilson restarting the KKK
Democrats putting Japanese Americans in internment camps
Democrats destroying black families first with Jim Crow laws later with welfare and the great society
Jimmy carter betraying the Shah of Iran
Democrats abandonment of US troops in the Philippines
Etc
There’s a long list and it’s hard to pick the top
Indeed. Saigon was a noble and graceful exit compared to this.
I’m going to throw something at my TV.

Make it something soft. You don’t want to
break something useful.
I apologize for calling Joe Biden Jimmy Carter light. Joe Biden ,makes Jimmy Carter seem like George Washington or Abe Lincoln. Ever notice that there are no democrats on Mount Rushmore? Joe Biden is a wimp! This country needs a strong leader. We need to re-invade Afganistan but with a blinding force to convince those unshaven dirtballs never to try this again.

Highly effective brainwashing since FDR’s time has half the U.S. population thinking the Dems are the “good guys.”
It’s no surprise that the man who didn’t win the presidency can’t lead the country. They thought if they got this imbecile in they could lead from there…nope…
