EXCLUSIVE: Trump Campaign Responds To Biden Afghanistan Review

Donald Trump’s campaign responded to President Joe Biden blaming the former president’s administration for the Afghanistan withdrawal.

The Biden administration released a review of the August 2021 U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan on Thursday, blaming the former administration for leaving “difficult realities” behind for Biden and “severely” constraining him.

The document criticized Trump for calling for talks with the Taliban, ordering the drawdown of U.S. troops, negotiating a withdrawal deadline for May 1 of 2021, and not giving Biden plans on how to conduct the final withdrawal during the presidential transition.

Trump’s team responded to Biden’s criticisms by saying the Biden administration is “trying to gaslight the American people.”

“Biden and his administration are trying to gaslight the American people for their disastrous withdrawal in Afghanistan that directly led to American deaths and emboldened the terrorists,” Trump’s spokesperson Steven Cheung told the Daily Caller.

“Biden’s complete erosion of American deterrence can be directly assigned blame for Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine, Kim’s decision to restart missile launches, and Xi’s pending decision to invade Taiwan and Chinese spy balloons surveilling American. And those are only the nation-state threats we’re aware of. The world has become a more dangerous place under Joe Biden,” Cheung added.

Weak response…

and not giving Biden plans on how to conduct the final withdrawal during the presidential transition.

Yes sir, the people working for Biden would have surely carefully followed that plan to the letter.

If you need a sarc symbol, you are on the wrong server.

Weak response…“

Yeah it kinda is given how outrages it was to blame Trump for the fiasco.

[Williams]

Lol they complained Trump didn’t leave a plan telling them how to do it.

Does that even pass the absurdity test?

[CommerceComet]

Total BS! Since when has the Brandon Administration felt in any way bound by what President Trump had done. They couldn't wait to underdo anything that he had done.

That's even assuming that the Brandon Administration truthfully reported what President Trump had done. If it was a truthful report, it was the first time (or totally an accident).

[McCarthysGhost]

The Biden WH intentionally f’ed it up in order to blame Trump and possibly cancel the withdrawal.

[Alas Babylon!]

Biden cancelled/rescinded just about all Trump admin plans like the Keystone XL pipeline, the border wall, gas and oil leases, EPA decisions, trans in uniform, etc., all in 24 hours of taking office, but on Afghanistan, oh boy, howdy! He had to follow it without any changes?

Yeah, right!

Trump’s Afghanistan plan kept a considerable force at Bagram AB (2500 troops) beyond the withdrawal, a promise to the Taliban to destroy them if they touched 1 American, and Biden just left Bagram in the middle of the night without even TELLING our NATO allies, and moved all evac operations to Kabul, a city of 4 million completely surrounded by mountain ranges.

Biden team claiming they had nothing to go on as Trump didn’t leave them any instructions.

Libtards.

Dirty Diaper Joe is something else.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

These Morons in the White House, who are systematically destroying our Country, headed up by the biggest Moron of them all, Hopeless Joe Biden, have a new disinformation game they are playing - Blame “TRUMP” for their grossly incompetent SURRENDER in Afghanistan. I watched this disaster unfold just like everyone else. I saw them take out the Military FIRST, GIVE $85 Billion of military equipment, allow killing of our soldiers, and leave Americans behind. Biden is responsible, no one else!
