Donald Trump condemned President Biden over his handling of the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan in a furious rant.
Addressing his supporters during a rally in Cullman, Alabama, the former president lashed out at the 46th US President as he accused him of being responsible for one of “the greatest military defeats of all time.”
Referring to the Taliban takeover of Kabul and other major strategic points in Afghanistan, Trump said that “this will go down as one of the greatest military defeats of all time” before calling the sudden withdrawal of troops “a total surrender.”
The MAGA leader also insisted that such a situation would never occur under his watch before blasting Biden and calling him incompetent.
“The issue here is not whether to leave Afghanistan, the issue is Joe Biden’s staggering incompetence and gross negligence … creating the greatest strategic humiliation that we’ve ever seen as a country,” Trump said.
“With me in office the Taliban would not have ever dreamt of capturing our airfield or parading around with our American weapons.
“There would have been no emergency embassy evacuation and no taking down of our flag. Because we would have established clear lines that the Taliban would never have dared to cross. The problem with Biden is that our enemies are not afraid of him, they don’t respect him.”
While the Biden administration blamed Trump, who previously ordered a complete military withdrawal from Afghanistan by May this year, for the current situation, the former president insisted that this would never have happened under his watch.
He also went on to defend his previous peace talks with the Taliban after critics slammed him for meeting with their leaders.
“Who the he** else am I supposed to be negotiating with,” Trump added of his negotiations with the Taliban. He also claimed he warned the warlords by telling them: “If anything happens we will reign terror upon you. Don’t touch our American citizens.”
The rally followed days after Trump called on Biden to resign over “the most embarrassing military outcome in the history of the United States.”
