Trump Honors Soldiers Killed in Botched Afghanistan Withdrawal While Biden Lounges at the Beach
26th August 2024
As President Joe Biden vacationed at his Delaware beach house, Republican nominee Donald Trump visited Arlington National Cemetery Monday morning to honor the 13 American service members who were killed three years ago during Biden’s botched military withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Trump attended a wreath-laying ceremony along with family members of the 13 soldiers who died in a suicide bombing at Abbey Gate outside of Kabul Airport. Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris released statements marking the third anniversary but neither has announced any events to publicly pay their respects. The president and first lady Jill Biden are vacationing at their home near Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, while Harris holds private meetings with her staff in Washington.
“This is the third anniversary of the BOTCHED Afghanistan withdrawal, the most EMBARRASSING moment in the history of our Country,” Trump wrote Monday morning on Truth Social. “Gross Incompetence—13 DEAD American soldiers, hundreds of people wounded and dead, AMERICANS and BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF MILITARY EQUIPMENT LEFT BEHIND.”
