Trump is scared right now and he has every right to be.
In light of Iran’s recent missile strikes on Israel, former President Donald Trump has pointed to a glaring absence of leadership from President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris as a primary factor in the escalating crisis.
“The world is descending into chaos,” Trump stated emphatically. “We have a president who seems completely disconnected from reality and a vice president who is nowhere to be found. It’s uncertain who is more bewildered—Biden or Harris. Neither seems to grasp the gravity of the situation.”
During his presidency, Trump asserted that he effectively restrained Iran, contrasting his administration’s approach with that of Biden, which he claims has enriched the regime, enabling them to support acts of aggression against Israel. “The previous administration effectively countered Iranian aggression, but now, the Biden administration has filled their coffers, allowing them to finance terror across the region,” he remarked.
Trump emphasized that Iran’s desires align with Harris assuming the presidency, suggesting they believe they can exploit the current leadership’s weaknesses. “Iran knows they can manipulate the situation while she is in power,” he noted. “That’s why they’ve targeted my presidency—because we stood firm against them.”
Jason Miller, a senior adviser to Trump’s campaign, echoed these sentiments during an appearance on “Newsline.” He criticized the Biden-Harris administration for projecting an image of weakness that emboldens foreign adversaries. “If President Trump were still in office, we wouldn’t be facing the October 7th attacks on Israel, nor would we be grappling with ongoing conflicts involving Hezbollah. Under Trump, Iran was financially constrained and deterred from its aggressive behavior.”
This escalating crisis underscores the importance of strong, decisive leadership in foreign policy, a lesson that many Republicans believe has been starkly highlighted by the current administration’s actions—or lack thereof. The need for a return to robust and strategic leadership has never been clearer.
