I'm sure Trump is ecstatic now that Biden's halo has slipped, but in his criticism of Biden, he really did come out with a gem. Trump said that Biden should have ensured people were evacuated from Afghanistan BEFORE the troops left. I hadn't thought of that - it's so obvious this is what should have happened.

I wish Trump would stop talking. I’m trying to pretend he no longer exists.

I thought it was only me sad

It’s easy to say something should have been done after the event. I wonder if Trump would have thought of it before. Somehow I doubt it.

It's very easy for both Trump and Blair to criticise as they are no longer in power.

Mike Pompeo made a deal with the Taliban on America's behalf, locking in the next president. Thousands of Taliban prisoners were released. Stephen Miller made sure that special visas for American allies in Afghanistan were unavailable. Donald Trump wanted the exit in May. Did anyone learn anything from the Vietnam War?

If Trump was still in charge we would not have had this fiasco, but unfortunately we have in Tony Blair's words Biden the imbecile in charge.

Trump wanted to invite the Taliban to the US for a visit - Camp David, during his 4 years

What does it way about him?

Nasty, rude and untrue.

Lincslass I was joking after accusations on the other thread I know you are not. Sorry.?

Which you have now decided was "obsessive"; one post, one correction and one apology.

I wonder just what transferring this to another thread is called?

Hithere Sun 22-Aug-21 19:32:24

Ate, not are. Arggg

Hithere Sun 22-Aug-21 19:32:13

Not agree (are the verb in the first sentence)

Hithere Sun 22-Aug-21 19:31:34

I do not with how Biden has managed this but

Trump is a hypocrite . His word holds no credibility

He would have done the same exact thing, he would also have for forbidden Afghans from coming to the US as refugees

He has said many times things he would never ever do and then forgot he twitted about it and even denied he said that

For heavens sake! We know without doubt that he lies, just as our PM lies

As does Biden but egregiously so. Several blatant lies in one press conference.

Trump is simply making political capital.

For heavens sake! We know without doubt that he lies, just as our PM lies?

Nothing he says can be accepted at face value

MaizieD Sun 22-Aug-21 18:24:22

So was that in his plan when he signed the Doha Agreement?

PippaZ Sun 22-Aug-21 18:22:50

Me too Callistemon and I don't drink!

PippaZ Sun 22-Aug-21 18:21:18

He has said something sensible, unbelievable.

I think he will have looked at the media and seen what is trending (or someone will have done it for him), don't you?

Callistemon Sun 22-Aug-21 18:16:02

Good grief!

I need a wine

You would say that Lincslass being a Trump supporter ??

MerylStreep Sun 22-Aug-21 16:52:21

Listening to some security/ military experts it appears there wasn’t so much an agreement. Both used the word threats

Lincslass Sun 22-Aug-21 16:42:09

Can’t understand why that wasn’t done. Blimey Trump is right for once. Though it won’t make up for the agreement he signed with the terrorists.
