Donald Trump again attacked President Joe Biden over his handling of Afghanistan and the coronavirus, but critics pointed out those crises were made worse by his own policies.
The twice-impeached one-term president issued a statement Monday morning through his spokeswoman Liz Harrington, who hasn't been banned from Twitter yet, accusing his successor of "surrendering" to the pandemic and the Taliban -- which many accused him of doing before he lost the election.
"First Joe Biden surrendered to COVID and it has come roaring back," Trump said in the statement. "Then he surrendered to the Taliban, who has quickly overtaken Afghanistan and destroyed confidence in American power and influence."
"The outcome in Afghanistan, including the withdrawal, would have been totally different if the Trump Administration had been in charge," he added. "Who or what will Joe Biden surrender to next? Someone should ask him, if they can find him."

I guess Donald Trump forgot that it was he who requested the release of Abdul Ghani Baradar and 5,000 other Taliban from prison.— Frank Giugliano (@Frank Giugliano) 1629117361
I thought the idea of Donald Trump being blocked from Twitter was so that he will not publish anything that could incite violence again, not have a lackey publish everything for him.— KyleO (@KyleO) 1629117357
Sorry Liz, but someone that made a deal with the Taliban and advocated for injecting disinfectants as a solution to COVID doesn\u2019t have a leg to stand on.— Mark Smit (@Mark Smit) 1629117739
Gaslighting nonsense. \n\nTFG had no plan after pulling our military out and releasing the Taliban so they could go back to taking over. \n\nHe just wanted credit for bringing our troops home. He didn\u2019t care what mess he left behind.— Dr. Craig Malkin (@Dr. Craig Malkin) 1629118735
Oh, sheesh, Trump's Doha Agreement with the Taliban is a clear indicator that he was returning Afghanistan back to the Taliban. Why else arrange our departure from Afghanistan with the Taliban rather than President Ghani?— Michelle Mitzel (@Michelle Mitzel) 1629118088
