Donald Trump called President Biden the “biggest idiot” after the White House blamed him for the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, while other commentators chimed in to express their disbelief at the staggering report.
“These idiots in the White House, who are systematically destroying our country, led by the biggest idiot of all, the desperate Joe Biden, have a new game of disinformation they are playing: they blame ‘TRUMP’ for his grossly incompetent SURRENDER in Afghanistan. Trump, 76, screamed at Truth Social on Thursday.
“I watched this disaster unfold like any other. I’ve seen them eliminate the military FIRST, GIFT $85 billion worth of military equipment, allow our soldiers to be killed, and leave the Americans behind. Biden is responsible, no one else!”
Shortly before Trump’s heartbreaking tirade, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby answered questions about the 12-page after-action review of the controversial August 2021 withdrawal, which left 13 American service members dead and hundreds of Afghans.
The report attributes the chaotic evacuation to the Trump administration promising the Taliban that US forces would leave the country by May 2021, but fails to take into account that the US also had the option of reneging on the deal if negotiations fell through. peace talks. Other commentators were equally astounded by the White House’s version of events, with Fox News’s Jesse Watters tweeting that the exit report “mentions Trump more than ISIS.”
“But the White House still insists they did everything right,” the primetime anchor said.
Washington state Republican congressional candidate and former Green Beret Joe Kent appeared Thursday night on “Tucker Carlson” to criticize the White House report, calling it a “total disgrace.”
“I would have a lot more respect for the Biden administration if they went after the military-industrial complex and the intelligence community for their lies,” he said. Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas) also criticized Kirby’s characterization of retirement. “Didn’t you see people hanging from a C17 and falling to their deaths? REALLY!? You should tell the families of the 13 brave military men who lost their lives SICKENING!!”
