Was there really any doubt that once Trump became involved with Afghanistan....?

...he would screw it up like everything else he came into contact with while he was President?

Biden is taking responsibility for the present predicament in Iraq but he was left a terrible mess to deal with. The buck stops with the President.

What didn't Trump screw up? Immigration? Allied relationships? Economy? The pandemic? The government in general? The institutions?

Well, what about Jerusalem, they say. It's probably just a matter of time until that blows up in our face, also. It was a move made in haste, without thought or wisdom, and without thought of peace in the region. He did it because he could.

There has never been such a disaster to sit in our White House.

1. The former Afghan President fled with $169 million to Dubai, UAE.2. Trump, Pompeo, Kushner and Taliban closed this bribe deal in Doha, Qatar.3. Biden was locked out of intelligence during the transition. It’s high time to Benghazi the shit out of Trump, Pompeo and Kushner.— Andrea Junker (@Strandjunker) August 18, 2021

Note: My dinosaur computer no longer acknowledges this twitter shit, so the above is the best I can do.
