Trump calls on Biden to ‘resign in disgrace’ over crisis in Afghanistan

Buck stops with the President, so Joe is on the hook for this one . But, let’s not act like Trump had any great thinking or actions on this topic.

You really should educate yourself with the facts before you spew your stupid Trump digs. Trump began refusing our presence in Afghanistan during his last year in office. He made it clear to both the Afghanistan military as well as the Taliban that we were pulling out - but he did 3 things:
- He didn't give a date when it would happen
- He made it clear that we would leave an elite force in place in case the Taliban decided to be opportunistic.
- He told the leaders of the Taliban that if even one American was harmed during the process we would unleash he'll on them.
Not a single casualty occurred during that time, so stop trying to equate the two. It just shows your bias.

That would be nice. From all previous presidents.
Or better yet if they want to comment, they should get together and try and find a united statement. I know, never gonna happen.

I've not seen any commentary from former presidents on all this. I think there's a tradition of not butting in; there's an understanding of what it's like to be in the hot seat, and they had their turn and now it's so-and-so's turn, and leave him to it.
It's kind of like when Tom Brady was asked to comment on Aaron Rodgers' troubles, and what advice he would give him. I don't recall Brady's exact words, but it was something to the effect that Rodgers knows what he's doing and he, Brady, had faith that Rodgers would handle it just fine.
Kind of like that.

I may be wrong, but I think 44 broke that tradition.

One big difference between Trump and other former Presidents, Trump is still a potential candidate for the office in the future.

It Bush had a few prescient points a month ago:
-
I guess I wonder what a long term presence there that guaranteed women's education, etc. would have had. That would be nearly two generations of Afghans growing up in that situation. We're still in South Korea and Europe We still have a small presence in Iraq.

Fine. Whatever.
That wasn’t for me was it? I don’t think I said anything to get that comment.

Please, the press will forget about it by September.
Joe will forget about it by Wednesday unless he takes his pill…

All I know is that Trump demanded it. I would be very careful about crossing Trump, if I were Biden. Trump is almost as dangerous as robots. And everybody knows how scared the elderly are of robots.
