1:22Now PlayingFormer President Donald Trump told a National Guard Association conference Monday that he would can every senior military and diplomatic official involved in the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal fiasco — hours after paying tribute to 13 service members who died in an ISIS attack during the botched bugout.
On a day in which the 78-year-old hammered the Biden-Harris administration over the removal of US troops and the subsequent reconquest of Afghanistan by the Taliban, Trump told an audience of part-time soldiers that voters “are going to fire Kamala and Joe on Nov. 5, we hope.”
“And when I take office we will ask for the resignations of every single official,” the Republican nominee added. “We’ll get the resignations of every single senior official who touched the Afghanistan calamity, to be on my desk at noon on Inauguration Day.
“You know, you have to fire people. You have to fire people when they do a bad job,” Trump added. “You got to fire them like on ‘The Apprentice’ … You did a lousy job. You did a terrible, terrible disservice to our country. You get fired when that happens.”
The service members and nearly 200 Afghans perished on Aug. 26, 2021 when ISIS-K suicide bomber Abdul Rahman al-Logari detonated an explosive vest outside Hamid Karzai International Airport’s Abbey Gate — the crowning catastrophe on a rushed evacuation that left hundreds of US citizens and Afghan allies behind to face a brutal Islamic fundamentalist regime.
