Donald Trump Jr. gloated over the swiftly unfolding collapse of Afghanistan to Taliban forces -- and was hit was furious backlash.
The twice-impeached one-term president's namesake son blamed the collapse on President Joe Biden's intelligence analysts, and used the tragedy to attack his father's successor on a laundry list of topics that appear regularly on Fox News programming.
"Not surprising," Trump Jr. said, responding to a tweet from political scientist Bruno Maçães. "Biden's woke 'intelligence' gurus are the same ones who were WRONG on Russian collusion & Russian bounties, WRONG about China & Iran being 'competitors,' WRONG on Covid origins, WRONG on Hunter's laptop, & WRONG on basically everything else."
Other social media users quickly fact-checked Trump Jr. and called him out.

Well it's a shame your dad didn't see it coming before he signed a troop withdrawal agreement in 2020.— Dawn Amos, Sadly Atheist, likes most humans (@Dawn Amos, Sadly Atheist, likes most humans) 1629053103

Didn't your father want to pull out of Afghanistan and invited the Taliban to Camp David? Ah well, that doesn't count now does it.— Cynthia, Unabridged Version (@Cynthia, Unabridged Version) 1629053352
20 years in the making. 2 trillion dollars spent on the industrial military complex. Thousands of disabled veterans. Countless veteran suicides. A failure once again by foreign policy, the military and Congress. Put the blame where it belongs. On all of us for allowing this.— mary carlson (@mary carlson) 1629053742
Damn bro, what's it like always simping for a dad who wouldn't even remember your name if it wasn't also his?— Kupcake (@Kupcake) 1629057011
This must be rough for Junior. Knowing his father campaigned on pulling the troops out, even negotiated an agreement with the Taliban.\n\nAlso knowing how badly China smacked down his father over the tariffs.\n\nQuit projecting Junior and seek therapy— Burns Like Whisky \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@Burns Like Whisky \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8) 1629053104
