Not one member of Biden's staff was fired or even demoted over the disaster that was our chaotic, deadly exit from Afghanistan.
Trump vows he'll do the firing that Biden was too craven to do.
(Because the military would say, properly, that they did just what Biden and Harris demanded in the way they demanded it be done.)
DETROIT -- Former 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.
No military or other government official is known to have lost their jobs over the disaster, even though a House Republican-led panel has heard testimony that President Biden ignored the advice of diplomats by insisting the pullout be completed ahead of the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attack.
In June of last year, a State Department report found officials were not prepared to process more than 125,000 evacuees at once because diplomatic personnel were directed to "continue embassy operations ... in the belief that the security situation would not deteriorate substantially in Kabul for several months at the earliest."
"Nobody ever gets fired in this administration," Trump complained. "It's amazing all the bad things that have happened. Nobody ever gets fired. Problem is, when you fire somebody, they always end up writing a book about you. I've had more books written about me. I fire a lot of people when they don't do a good job."

"We will never forget those brave warriors who made the supreme sacrifice for our country," the former president said, adding that "we will honor their memory by restoring a government that puts the American people first."
"The humiliation in Afghanistan set off the collapse of American credibility and respect all around the world," added Trump. "Our country will never be safe again until we have fired those responsible for this disaster."
Despite Biden-Harris lies about this bloody disaster being an "orderly" withdrawal, leaked emails show that the Administration knew it was a bloodbath from the start.
The Pentagon's chief spokesman turned White House spokesman John Kirby, has consistently claimed that the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan was not chaotic, but newly obtained emails reveal that he was acutely aware of the escalating chaos during the operation. These documents, released through a Freedom of Information Act request, show a stark contrast between the Biden administration's public narrative and the reality on the ground.
Key Details:
John Kirby, then-Pentagon spokesman, publicly downplayed the chaos during the Afghan withdrawal, despite receiving numerous reports describing the situation as chaotic and violent, particularly at the Kabul airport.
Internal emails sent to Kirby, obtained by the nonprofit watchdog Functional Government Initiative, use the terms "chaos" or "chaotic" more than two dozen times, directly contradicting Kirby's public statements.
The emails suggest efforts by the Biden administration to manage public perception and minimize the disastrous nature of the withdrawal, with Kirby and other officials instructed to portray the situation in a more positive light.
This is what John Kirby calls "orderly" in public, but admits to be "chaotic" in private emails.
Gee isn't "chaotic" the exact opposite of "orderly"?
Biden and Harris refused to show up for a commemoration of the 13 servicemembers' deaths.
Trump laid a wreath to honor them.
Earlier, Kamala admitted she was the last person to give Biden the thumbs-up on his chaotic, deadly bug-out non-plan.
