SPECIAL: After Taliban overtook the capital of Afghanistan, Donald Trump made his statements:

It’s not that we left Afghanistan. It’s the grossly incompetent way we left!
Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America
08/16/21
The corrupt Presidential Election of 2020 got us here. Never would have happened if I were President!
Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America
08/16/21
Afghanistan is the most embarrassing military outcome in the history of the United States. It didn’t have to be that way!
Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America
08/16/21
Can anyone even imagine taking out our Military before evacuating civilians and others who have been good to our Country and who should be allowed to seek refuge? In addition, these people left topflight and highly sophisticated equipment. Who can believe such incompetence? Under my Administration, all civilians and equipment would have been removed.
Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America

First Joe Biden surrendered to COVID and it has come roaring back. Then he surrendered to the Taliban, who has quickly overtaken Afghanistan and destroyed confidence in American power and influence. The outcome in Afghanistan, including the withdrawal, would have been totally different if the Trump Administration had been in charge. Who or what will Joe Biden surrender to next? Someone should ask him, if they can find him.
Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America

It is time for Joe Biden to resign in disgrace for what he has allowed to happen to Afghanistan, along with the tremendous surge in COVID, the Border catastrophe, the destruction of energy independence, and our crippled economy. It shouldn’t be a big deal, because he wasn’t elected legitimately in the first place!
Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America
08/15/21
What Joe Biden has done with Afghanistan is legendary. It will go down as one of the greatest defeats in American history!
Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America

Joe Biden gets it wrong every time on foreign policy, and many other issues. Everyone knew he couldn’t handle the pressure. Even Obama’s Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates, said as much. 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. The withdrawal would be guided by facts on the ground.
After I took out ISIS, I established a credible deterrent. That deterrent is now gone. The Taliban no longer has fear or respect for America, or America’s power. What a disgrace it will be when the Taliban raises their flag over America’s Embassy in Kabul. This is complete failure through weakness, incompetence, and total strategic incoherence.
