Donald Trump Calls Afghanistan 'Tragic Mess' and Asks 'Do You Miss Me Yet?'
Newsweak via MSN ^ | August 13, 2021 | Darragh Roche

Former President Donald Trump issued a statement on Friday bemoaning the situation in Afghanistan, adding to criticism of the Joe Biden administration's handling of Taliban advances in the country.

Trump spokesperson Liz Harrington issued the statement via Twitter as the administration is pushing ahead with a planned withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan due to end on August 31.

"Tragic mess in Afghanistan, a completely open and broken Border, Crime at record levels, oil prices through the roof, inflation rising, and taken advantage of by the entire world," Trump's statement said.

"DO YOU MISS ME YET?" the former president asked.

His statement comes as the Taliban have seized many major cities in the country, including Kandahar and Herat, which are the two largest cities after the capital of Kabul.

The Taliban are 50km from Kabul. Power is out in Kabul. 3k US troops are deployed, another 3.5k are on standby. Xiden handed over the Kabul airport to Turkey, and other bases are closed. Xiden left civilians unprotected in that hell hole and expects our military to evac after eliminating all our bases. What a eff'n stupid bastard!

Yeah, I miss Trump.

I wonder how much artillery the taliban have access to?

The afghan army might turn them on the airport. Then what?

Trump and crew released 5000 prisoners last year to help in negations with the taliban.

Afghanistan is in reversion to the mean while being televised.

Sorry Mr President.
For one man you did an amazing job holding the craziness back.

But the orchestrated chaos
to make almost everything unmanageable while enriching themselves is nearly unbridled.
BTW what happens to the peasants are inconsequential.

It’s still not as bad as what he has done to the economy.

I miss him less each day that goes by with him doing nothing to take back what was ours.

He only talks about 2024, asking for $’s.

More than you can know Don. Can’t wait for you and the military to step in and stop this trainwreck.

I love the way he’s handling this trainwreck!
He’s poking them and staying forefront in their heads. Just always there, waiting, waiting to poke.

I really really miss Trump. And this idiocy in Kabul makes it so much more evident that somehow, idiots are running the country.

Hope all the troops and embassy staff get out safely. Prayers!

This will be a disaster. With only 1 airport to use, the Taliban will pour mortars and artillery into it like Diem Bin Phieu and crater the runway. The only way to get out will be helicopter and they will get shot down.

The old doddering, diaper dementia riddled, tapioca eating, pedophile will be kicked out after this debacle. Pray for our troops as the only exit strategy will be a full invasion of Kabul to get our personnel out.

Where do we monitor this?

Maybe Twitter?
