In his latest interview, the former president repeatedly failed to explain what he would have done differently if he had remained in charge.Donald Trump has had a lot to say about how Joe Biden has mishandled the withdrawal from Afghanistanbut, when given the chance to explain what he would have done differently, Trumps master plan boiled down to leaving the country in smouldering ruins before leaving it forever.
The ex-president appeared on Fox Business on Tuesday morning to get some things off his chest a day after the last U.S. troops left Afghanistan. During a curious rant about how he believes unnamed shadowy forces are controlling Biden, Trump shared his alternative withdrawal plans.
Its something thats rather incredible, he said. They [the people supposedly controlling Biden] do horrible things, vicious things. They cheat, steal, lie. But they cant do a simple withdrawal from a country that we should never have gone into in the first place... We should have hit that country years ago, hit it them really hard, and then let it rot.
The former president was repeatedly thrown softball questions about how he wouldve handled the situation if he hadnt lost the election. However, he repeatedly failed to give any answers of substance, merely saying that he wouldve won the war in Afghanistan if only hed had a few more months.

the way he deals with humans who get in his way.
Well, that's being very forthright, isn't it? Just let the suckers rot already. That was even worse than, "We should have taken the oil". What a monster.

Vicious things, cheat, lie, steal.

You are not President anymore. Go the fuck away.
I don't want to hear from or about you again until justice catches up with you and your spawn.

But he was so busy with Infrastructure Week and the demands of his relentless golf schedule that gosh darn it he just couldn't break loose the time to win the war in Afghanistan. Somehow.
