Trump calls on Biden to ‘resign in disgrace’ over crisis in Afghanistan
NY Post ^ | August 15, 20 | Patrick Reilly

Former President Donald Trump Sunday called on President Biden to “resign in disgrace” over his handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal and other issues.

“It is time for Joe Biden to resign in disgrace for what he has allowed to happen to Afghanistan, along with the tremendous surge in COVID, the Border catastrophe, the destruction of energy independence, and our crippled economy,” the former president wrote in a statement.

The Taliban has rapidly taken control of most of the country as insurgent forces enter the capital city of Kabul, where U.S. troops have been sent to evacuate the embassy.

Mobs of panicked people can be seen at the Kabul airport frantically trying to flee the city on Sunday.

Trump’s administration had negotiated the terms of the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan by May 1. Trump even considered withdrawing troops from the region before leaving office.

When President Biden announced that he planned to fully withdraw troops from Afghanistan by Sept. 11, the 20th anniversary of 9/11, he was slammed by Trump who insisted Biden “keep as close” as possible to his own goal of getting the troops out on May 1.

“I made early withdraw possible by already pulling much of our billions of dollars of equipment out and, more importantly, reducing our military presence to less than 2,000 troops from the 16,000 level that was there (likewise in Iraq, and zero troops in Syria except for the area where we KEPT THE OIL),” he said in an email to supporters in April.

Republicans have blasted Biden for the current crisis in the country, where the U.S. had maintained a presence for 20 years.

Biden was also criticized by former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who told Fox News the situation would not have happened if Trump was still in

You can withdraw in an orderly fashion or you can withdraw in panicked chaos as we are doing now.

So which is preferable ?

Yep; the dims only have a few tricks in their feed bag. Racist name calling and blame Trump are their favorite two go-to. Both are lies and tired. No one listens anymore unless they are part of the Marxist parade of idiots.

How can he stay out of it when the entire democratic talking point parrots are saying Afghanistan is somehow Trump’s fault?

Do you wish him to remain silent like George W Bush and let the democrats blame him further?

Actually, makes total sense. Kamala would be even a greater disaster than Pedo Joe. We're close to burning this whole thing to the ground.

Sounds good to me. Massive MAGA takeback in 2022 and 2024. America saved from communism in the nick of time. They have to SEE the horror to be terrified by it.

Sloe Joe, The Hoe, Ms. Pelosi, Mr. Schumer, ALL DEMOCRATS:

YOU ARE A TOTAL ABJECT FAILURE!

Please do the right thing: ADMIT YOU STOLE THE 2020 ELECTION!

ALLOW PRESIDENT TRUMP TO RE-ASSUME COMMAND OF THE US GOVERNMENT!

AND, THEN, PACK YOUR BAGS AND SLINK OUT OF (I.E. DESERT) WASHINGTON, DC!

PUT THE ADULTS IN CHARGE AND LEAVE US ALONE!

I read some of her past posts. Over the past month or so, she was waking up a little bit at a time. Hopefully this is the beginning of her really seeing the truth and breaking away from the msm narrative.

There were thousands of hearts, responses, and retweets. No doubt it took her off guard.

Good Lord! What a cluster!
