Trump video slams Biden’s handling of Afghan crisis, calls him ‘surrenderer-in-chief’

The Internet seemed divided over the former president’s latest stint as some supported it while some asked him to 'censor' himself

Since Afghanistan has been taken over by the Taliban, President Joe Biden has faced a lot of backlash for the handling of the crisis. Former president Donald Trump has also slammed him and now, taking his criticism to the next level for the Democratic leader, the Republican has released a new campaign-style advertisement on his website to lambast him.

The advertisement refers to Biden as “surrenderer-in-chief” and presents a collection of still pictures and video clips, showing the Taliban creating havoc in Afghanistan while the US citizens and their Afghan allies struggle to escape from the landlocked nation at the crossroads of Central and South Asia.

Save America, Trump's political action committee, has launched the ad. Also, Trump War Room -- a Twitter page -- managed by Save America while sharing the ad on its page wrote, “Surrenderer-In-Chief: Joe Biden lied to America and to the World when he told us ‘America was back.’ Instead, he surrendered to the Taliban and left Americans behind to die in Afghanistan. It's time to KNOW the TRUTH!”

In a statement, a spokesman for Save America, said: “Joe Biden promised Americans a future of growth, strength, diplomacy, and power. He told us ‘America was back.’ Instead, he withdrew troops from Afghanistan before removing our weapons, our allies, or even our own citizens. Joe Biden has backed down to our enemies and failed to protect our allies. Under Joe Biden, the Taliban is back – not America.”

“This is not the America we know. The media refuses to blame Biden for the destruction and tragedy he’s caused – but we will hold him responsible. We can show America the truth, and it’s up to YOU to make sure everyone sees this,” the statement continued, before adding: “Please contribute ANY AMOUNT IMMEDIATELY to watch President Trump’s NEW video and help us make sure it’s seen by EVERY American.”

Biden took over the President’s seat after beating Trump in the 2020 presidential election in November. After joining the office, he stuck to his predecessor’s decision of the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan. Trump had negotiated a peace deal with the Taliban, which had received criticisms from both sides of the party. However, the present situation has put Biden in a tough spot as his handling of the withdrawal has come under intense condemnation and sent his approval rating crashing.

Meanwhile, people on the Internet seemed divided over Trump’s new stint slamming Biden. A supporter of him tweeted, “Biden is a coward and has to go  he will leave our fellow country men in a foreign land.” The second one wrote, “That’s exactly right, when the going gets tough let’s beg and surrender to our enemies.” “Little Joey Biden is a COWARD #ImpeachBiden,” the third user added.

But some Biden supporters hit back. A person said, “Without major American casualties in Afghanistan I don’t know if the republicans will flip the house and senate. I guess that’s why so many trumptards are hoping the Taliban will kill  loads of Americans.  This is why Dems think you are traitors.” Another one asked, “Didn’t the Orange Imbecile want to withdraw as well?” “DESPITE ,CNN insisting just a few days ago that it was impossible to evacuate 50,000 people over the next two weeks — now 𝟕𝟎,𝟕𝟎𝟎 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐜𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 from Afghanistan since August 14th,” a user said and the second one added: "Please censor yourself."
