A feisty President Biden made a valiant effort to try to shift blame for the series of policy disasters that have plagued his time in office, claiming “it would be unfair of people to blame me for blunders foisted on me by my predecessor. The seeds of each and every calamity were sown by Donald Trump.”
”Take the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan,” Biden said. “Trump didn’t tell me that he had an agreement with the Taliban to have also US troops and personnel out of the country by May 1, 2021. So, when this date came and went and there were still 3,500 US troops in Afghanistan the Taliban mounted an offensive that ultimately conquered the country. None of the generals advised me to secure the evacuation of Americans and our Afghan allies before I ordered our troops to abandon key defensive positions. These generals were all holdovers from the Trump era. So, it is his fault that there are people still stranded there.”
“Then there’s the millions of immigrants surging through our southern border,” Biden observed. “It was Trump’s policies that prevented most of these people from coming while he was president. Trump was building a wall, requiring refugees to wait in Mexico while their cases were under consideration, and working with the Mexican government to discourage illegal immigration. Restricting immigration is not a policy Democrats favor. Trump knew that. By bottling up immigration he ensured that there would be a flood of immigrants once he left office. I had no choice but to let them in and disperse them throughout the country because we don’t have the room to hold them at the border while their cases are being processed. Clearly, Trump is to blame for the current mess.”
“A last point I want to make today concerns our inability to crush the pandemic,” Biden said. “Trump brags that he facilitated the vaccines that are needed to defeat the virus, but he refused to mandate that everyone get vaccinated. This was a continuation of his refusal to mandate masks and lockdowns past the initial two weeks to flatten the curve back in March of 2020. The patchwork of inconsistent restrictions from state-to-state that resulted left people confused. A nationwide commitment to universal lockdowns, masks, and vaccinations would have allowed an unified country to simply get used to obeying the directives their government imposed. By the time I took office a substantial portion of the population was under the impression that these health rules violated their constitutionally protected right to freedom. They mistrust the government and balk at getting the vaccinations I have ordered them to get. All of this is Trump’s fault.”

Biden Blames Trump.
Pure 🐂💩 as usual and customary. Whattafool.
This had to be satire, because Slow Joe had too many points to make without losing his speaking ability.
Sadly, many Democrats actually believe that CNN-type lie.
