Just on Sunday, Trump called for Biden’s resignation over COVID being unleashed once again through the country and over the Afghanistan debacle. And yet, as is quite typical, Trump couldn’t have been more hypocritical. As Mediaite explains:

But last February, months after canceling a planned meeting with the Taliban that would have placed the group’s leaders inside the White House on September 11th, Trump gloried in the idea of a Taliban-led Afghanistan that would become a bane to Taliban leaders and the global aggressors among them.

“I’ll be meeting personally with Taliban leaders in the not-too-distant future. And we’ll be very much hoping that they will be doing what they say they’re going to be doing: They will be kil*ing terr*rists. They will be kil*ing some very bad people. They will keep that fight going,” Trump said at the Feb. 29 briefing, at which he also announced the first reported U.S. death due to COVID-19.

Right, first death and praise for the Taliban. These are the exact same two issues that Trump projected onto the Biden Administration as abject failures and yet look at what happened under Trump. Stunningly, Trump advocated having the Taliban take over during his administration, just a 18 months ago: Video Here:

“I really believe the Taliban wants to do something to show that we’re not all wasting time,” Trump said, promising that ” If bad things happen, we’ll go back.” He went on to add that “I don’t think that will be necessary.”

“I started the process. All the troops are coming back home. They couldn’t stop the process. 21 years is enough. Don’t we think? 21 years. They couldn’t stop the process. They wanted to, but it was very tough to stop,” Trump told a crowd in Ohio, and said of the then-current government that they “wouldn’t last — the only way they last is if we’re there.”

Stunning, but very much par for the course. No one does hypocrisy like Trump, and none of his people are going to bring it up.
