Donald Trump on Afghanistan Debacle: ‘This is the Greatest Embarrassment in the History of Our Country’

In an interview last night with Sean Hannity on Fox News, former President Donald Trump didn’t hold back and said of the Afghanistan debacle, “This is the greatest embarrassment, I believe, in the history of our country.”

Trump prefaced those comments by stating, “It’s a great thing that we’re getting out, but nobody has ever handled a withdrawal worse than Joe Biden.”

At another point during the interview, Trump referenced the scene that Tucker Carlson called “iconic” and suggested, “I looked at that big, monster cargo plane yesterday, with people grabbing the side and trying to get flown out of Afghanistan because of their fear, their incredible fear, and they’re blowing off the plane from 2,000 feet up in the air.”

“Nobody’s ever seen anything like that. That blows the helicopters in Vietnam away. That’s not even a contest. This has been the most humiliating period of time I’ve ever seen,” Trump added.

While many on the left are blaming Trump for the situation due to the agreement that he had made with a Taliban leader, he explained what the agreement was about and how Biden not sticking to the agreement put America in a bad position.

Trump also wondered why would you take the military out before you took out US citizens, interpreters, and equipment.

Referencing China, Trump believes that they are laughing at the whole situation and said that he was concerned for Taiwan.

While many are calling for the United States to help out with providing resettlement to refugees from the country, Trump pointed out that America needs is in trouble as well.

“Persecution, it’s happening and our country is angry about it… they go after people for tiny little things,” Trump asserted, while noting that Hunter Biden is able to get away with his scandals.

Trump didn’t give a definitive answer on a 2024 presidential run, but he did say that he believed the American people would be “happy” with his decision.

Time will tell if he ends up answering the call again, but he certainly provides the best insight and counterpunch to Biden and the leaders on the left.
