In a fiery post on Truth Social, former President Donald Trump took aim at President Joe Biden’s handling of the Middle East and the growing conflicts in the region. Trump didn’t hold back, expressing his frustration with the current administration’s approach to the situation. He pointed out the irony of the United States dropping bombs in the Middle East, where he claims he had defeated ISIS during his presidency. Trump also criticized Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin for allegedly running the war from his hospital room, highlighting Austin’s recent hospitalization due to complications from prostate cancer treatment.

Trump didn’t miss the opportunity to mention the infamous Afghanistan withdrawal, which he labelled as the most embarrassing moment in U.S. history. He accused the Biden administration of surrendering in Afghanistan without holding anyone accountable or firing those responsible. While conflicts continue to escalate in Ukraine, Israel, and Yemen, Trump sarcastically noted the absence of a “war” on the southern border, implying that Biden’s priorities are misplaced.
Adding fuel to the fire, revelations emerged that Biden didn’t know about Austin’s hospitalization until days after it occurred and only learned of his cancer diagnosis in the past week. This raised further questions about the administration’s ability to effectively manage the military and national security.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has yet to provide a timeline for Austin’s release from the hospital, only stating his condition as “good.” Despite his hospitalization, airstrikes on Houthi forces in Yemen continued, with Biden claiming he ordered these strikes while Austin supposedly directed and monitored them remotely. The Houthis have vowed to retaliate.
From Trump’s perspective, this string of events highlights what he believes is the ineptitude of the Biden administration and solidifies Joe Biden’s legacy as the “worst President in the history of the United States.”
