Trump Commented On Afghanistan
Let’s talk about the intense exchange that went down during Thursday night’s CNN presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden.
Trump didn’t hold back, launching a sharp line of attack against Biden for his refusal to hold anyone in his administration accountable for their handling of various critical issues.
Trump’s remarks were sparked by a question on foreign policy. He didn’t mince words, calling Biden’s handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal “the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country.” Trump emphasized that Biden should have fired the generals involved in the operation, much like he did with officials he deemed ineffective during his own administration.
“No general got fired for the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country, Afghanistan, where we left billions of dollars of equipment behind; we lost 13 beautiful soldiers and 38 soldiers were obliterated. And by the way, we left people behind too. We left American citizens behind,” Trump said, hitting hard on the chaos and loss that accompanied the withdrawal.

Trump circled back to the issue of accountability, highlighting that Biden hasn’t fired anyone for the numerous challenges and disasters during his presidency. “The other thing is, he doesn’t fire people. He never fired people,” Trump said. He contrasted this with his own tenure, noting the high-profile dismissals he made, such as that of former FBI Director James Comey, to “drain the swamp.”
Trump continued his critique by addressing the ongoing border crisis, pointing out that no one was held responsible for what he described as the “worst border in the history of the world,” allowing millions, including dangerous individuals, to enter the country.
“Did you fire anybody that allowed our country to be destroyed? Joe, our country is being destroyed as you and I sit up here and waste a lot of time on this debate. This shouldn’t be a debate,” Trump added, stressing the urgency and gravity of the situation.
Concluding his pointed critique, Trump issued a stark warning: “If he wins this election, our country doesn’t have a chance. Not even a chance of coming out of this rut. We probably won’t have a country left anymore. That’s how bad it is. He is the worst in history by far.”
Trump’s comments reflect a deep frustration with the current administration’s handling of key issues and a call for more accountability and decisive action. As the debate season heats up, these exchanges will likely shape the narratives and strategies leading up to the election. Stay tuned for more developments, folks, because this political saga is far from over!
