Former President Donald Trump on Saturday blasted President Joe Biden for not "following the plan" that the Republican administration crafted regarding a withdrawal from Afghanistan.
During his 2016 campaign and continuing at the White House, Trump said he would keep the United States "out of endless and costly foreign wars," and this weekend, the former president took time to criticize what he perceives as Biden's foreign policy "weakness."
"He ran out of Afghanistan instead of following the plan our Administration left for him - a plan that protected our people and our property, and ensured the Taliban would never dream of taking our Embassy or providing a base for new attacks against America," he said in a statement. "The withdrawal would be guided by facts on the ground."

Quit talking through your ass. Your plan was to withdraw by May 1.

Remember how Trump was prepared to negotiate with the Taliban at CAMP DAVID right after his Ukraine stunt was getting him impeached
and just as COVID emerged from Wuhan?"

Trump calls off secret Camp David meeting with Taliban, Afghan leaders

"The graveyard of empires. Sitting on $1 trillion of natural resources, Afghanistan is too medieval, too corrupt, and too riven by feuds and warlordism to ever make a go of it. Instead its the broke and broken Albania of mid Asia.
Good luck China!

(21,315 posts)It's your buddies the Taliban who didn't "follow the plan" and you had to be a naive moron to ever think they would. All you wanted was to take credit and brag about "ending the war" in your election campaign and nothing else mattered including how and when.

(11,432 posts)assuming he had one in the first place. Unless it included a Trump Kabul hotel or golf course he couldn't keep up his interest long enough to plan - or listen to his so-called advisors - plan anything.
