During his speech, the former president slammed Vice President Kamala Harris and the Biden administration for the deadly Afghanistan withdrawal. Harris was reportedly the last person President Joe Biden spoke to before deciding to begin the withdrawal that left 13 US troops dead.
“The world is burning and Kamala and Biden have brought us to the brink of World War III,” Trump said. “The peace in Europe has been shattered by the largest European ground war since the fall of Nazi Germany. If I were president, this would not have happened.”

Trump also slammed the Biden-Harris administration for the turmoil in the Middle East: “There, Jewish people are suffering the worst atrocities and deadliest attacks since the Holocaust. The United States, under the leadership of Comrade Kamala, has been forced to abandon more embassies than ever before in its history,” Trump said.
“From the moment I take my oath of office and take my hands off the Bible, I will work to restore America to its greatest strength and restore peace to the world,” he continued.
“Comrade Harris, you’re fired.”
