President Donald Trump criticized the Biden-Harris administration on Monday over the controversial U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Trump shared the remarks in a Truth Social post that noted the third anniversary of the 13 military service members who died outside the Kabul airport.

“This is the third anniversary of the BOTCHED Afghanistan withdrawal, the most EMBARRASSING moment in the history of our Country. Gross Incompetence – 13 DEAD American soldiers, hundreds of people wounded and dead, AMERICANS and BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF MILITARY EQUIPMENT LEFT BEHIND,” Trump wrote.

“You don’t take our soldiers out first, you take them out LAST, when all else is successfully done,” he added.

Trump continued his post with a list of other conflicts under the Biden-Harris administration.

“Russia then invaded Ukraine, Israel was attacked, and the USA became, and is, a laughing stock all over the World,” Trump wrote.

“THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA REMAINS SILENT IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE WORST ADMINISTRATION IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY! MAGA2024,” he concluded in all caps.

Trump senior adviser Jason Miller also blamed Vice President Kamala Harris for her role in the botched military departure.

“Kamala Harris was the last person in the room when the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan was ordered, leading to 13 American service members being killed. Harris bragged about her role on-camera,” Miller posted to X.

Trump is expected to visit Arlington National Cemetery today to pay his respects to the service members killed in the bombing. Trump will also travel to Michigan to address the National Guard Association of the United States conference, according to Fox News.

The Aug. 26, 2021, suicide bombing at Hamid Karzai International Airport killed 13 American service members and over 100 Afghans. ISIS claimed responsibility for the suicide attack.

Trump also criticized Harris last week during a North Carolina rally.

“She bragged that she would be the last person in the room, and she was. She was the last person in the room with Biden when the two of them decided to pull the troops out of Afghanistan,” he said. “She had the final vote. She had the final say, and she was all for it.”
