He is likely to be proven right about that in the near future.
“Trump Says U.S. ‘Laughingstock,’ Addresses Border Wall, Terrorism Threat, Afghanistan Exit,” by Fatima Khaled, Newsweek, October 24, 2021:
Former President Donald Trump said in a statement released Sunday that the U.S. is now a “laughingstock all over the world!” as he addressed the Afghanistan withdrawal and terrorism threat, among other issues….
In his remarks about immigration, Trump pointed out that many Afghans who fled their country after the Taliban takeover shouldn’t be in the United States. He noted that: “97 percent of people that came in from Afghanistan rushed the planes and shouldn’t be here. Those people must be checked very carefully because many of them will turn out to be strongly-related to high-level terrorism.”
“How stupid our country has become. So sad to watch when just 10 months ago we had none of these problems, and none either with bad economy, inflation, [and] fuel prices going through the roof,” he said.
Towards the end of his statement, Trump pointed that the U.S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan should have been executed differently, referring to the 13 U.S. service members who were “needlessly killed” during a bombing outside the Kabul airport in August.
“We would have been out but we would have been out with dignity,” he said….
Kagman says
He’s three percentage points off…. But that still head and shoulders above that dottering, Alzheimer’s addled buffoon in the white house.
commonsense says
Agree completely. All the Afghans who actually helped us should have been resettled in other Muslim countries, not ours. Even those deemed our “allies” would make dubious U.S. citizens, especially if they, despite their opposition to the Taliban and related groups for whatever reasons, take their Islam seriously.
Infidel says
Fully agree w/ this. However, since we’ve taken in so many unknown people, it’s harder to make the case that the SIV holders should have been resettled in other muslim countries and not ours
Whitespace says
I should also note that these people will have a lot of social cache, have outsized influence and credibility among the massive Islamist networks domestically.
Even the Afghans who were “vetted” were often the ones carrying out attacks on Coalition troops. My buddy came back from Afghanistan with a very cynical view of the trustworthiness of Muslims.

Diagnosis for Joe-mentia Bribed-man is probably MULTI-INFARCT DEMENTIA – a common cause of memory loss in the elderly. MID is caused by multiple strokes (disruption of blood flow to the brain). Disruption of blood flow leads to damaged brain tissue. Some of these strokes may occur without noticeable clinical symptoms. Doctors refer to these as “silent strokes.” An individual having a silent stroke may not even know it is happening, but over time, as more areas of the brain are damaged and more small blood vessels are blocked, the symptoms of MID begin to appear. MID can be diagnosed by an MRI or CT of the brain, along with a neurological examination. Symptoms include confusion or problems with short-term memory; wandering, or getting lost in familiar places; walking with rapid, shuffling steps; losing bladder or bowel control; laughing or crying inappropriately; having difficulty following instructions; and having problems counting money and making monetary transactions. MID, which typically begins between the ages of 60 and 75, affects men more often than women. Because the symptoms of MID are so similar to Alzheimer’s disease, it can be difficult for a doctor to make a firm diagnosis. Since the diseases often occur together, making a single diagnosis of one or the other is even more problematic.
Don McKellar says
The Afghan muslims are here because Obama wanted them here. His Fraudulency had no say in the matter and was likely completely out of the loop as to what was going on. Obama was the best president Islam has ever seen and is now the best shadow president that Islam has ever seen.
mortimer says
Since PAKISTAN CREATED THE PROBLEM BY HARBORING and by SENDING THE TALIBAN along with many thousands of PAKISTANI JIHADISTS to take over Afghastlistan, then PAKISTAN has 100% responsibility for dealing with the humanitarian crisis they created, including dealing with the refugees.
PAKISTAN MADE THE BED … NOW LIE IN IT. This is the result of Pakistan’s immoderate JIHADISM.
Pakistan PLAYED WITH FIRE and now it will be burned. The Afghan people mostly said they wanted Sharia … now they will get Sharia with both barrels!
Elizabeth Lawson says
Donald Trump is a sensible man who stands proudly by his fellow Americans come hell or high water. Regretfully, many of his other ‘fellow Americans do not – indeed the worrying signs of incompetence and disloyalty emanating from the White House continues at a pace. We now have ‘American’ Afghans by the hundreds of thousands roaming the streets of the US, while those Afghans who assisted the US armed forces are deserted by ‘a grateful nation’ – yeah. with -many of them trapped in that ghastly place. Now we learn that the population of Afghanistan is on the brink of starvation – but I’ll bet that murdering lot of primitives, the Taliban aren’t. So, the racket that denied Trump his lawful election to the presidency, has also opened the door to the destruction of the greatest country on earth. Criminality has brought America to its knees.
mortimer says
The strategy of the Dems is to create crisis after crisis and then create a DRACONIAN NATIONAL POLICE FORCE that arbitrarily may ARREST ANY CITIZEN and suspend the HABEAS CORPUS.
The Dems are planning to create a COMMUNIST CHINA-STYLE OLIGARCHY to crush the people and CHINA-STYLE information control to keep the people in the dark.
Many Americans are now out-and-out Marxists, but what the Dems are creating is a globalist form of fascism.
somehistory says
He is right, of course. And even he is a little off the mark about these recent arrivals. They were *vetted* and *approved* by the taliban.
Someone else who shouldn’t be here:

“Ilhan Omar Blames Police For Rise In Crime In Minneapolis
Star Tribune | Oct 26, 2021 ”
“Omar, a Democratic-Farmer-Labor member, said she understood the desire for safety and reiterated her call to voters to approve a Minneapolis city charter amendment that would remove minimum police staffing requirements and give the City Council authority over a more holistic public safety department.”
somehistory says
“Omar and DFL Attorney General Keith Ellison support the amendment, while fellow DFLers such as Mayor Jacob Frey, Gov. Tim Walz and U.S. Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith have said they oppose it.
Omar has lately thrown her weight into the Minneapolis election, endorsing mayoral candidates Kate Knuth and Sheila Nezhad while urging residents not to mark Frey, who is seeking re-election, on their ranked-choice ballots”
john smith says
Couldn’t agree with you more, Ilhan Omar shouldn’t be in the country.
somehistory says
Thanks. Wonder how we could get the snake to slither on back to “her” country? She won’t go willingly….she has it so much better here than she ever had or would have there. She gets to make trouble and get paid for it.
Wellington says
As usual, President Trump is correct. In fact, the very fact that Trump was correct about almost everything is why he had to be destroyed by the Establishment, which entails not only the federal Deep State but Big Tech, Big Business (this includes the Wall Street “crowd” and which I for one am sick of because they have not infused capitalism with a proper and wise moral element), academia and the entertainment industry. You can add to this iniquitous list professional sports and which is why I no longer watch the NFL, NBA or MLB—not one damn game.
What a time we live in. It’s a very stupid time in which the various nefarious types (this would certainly “take in” the leaders of the rotten Islamic world—Erdogan for instance and Khan—as well as the thugs running China), fools, ignoramuses, grievance mongers, cowards, loads of your standard silly people and other human detritus are in the ascendancy. In other words, we are living in a new dark age.
When the best of humankind are no longer heeded—or even retreat into their retreats (to Trump’s credit he has not retreated and one of many reasons why I admire this man)—and the worst of mankind are in a paramount position, you can absolutely count on another age of darkness. We’re in it now and only it’s duration remains unknown.
john smith says
Yes wellington, it seems that way, we are approaching a new dark age.
tim gallagher says
I agree with the sentiments you express there, Wellington. I agree with Trump. He gets things right and especially when he says “how stupid our country has become’. That applies to the people in so many countries. Embracing so much of this moronically stupid woke agenda (critical race theory, cancel culture, etc) on so many issues is, without a doubt, extremely stupid and absolutely pathetic.

“We’re in it now”. You’re right, we are, but if you think it’s bad now just wait a few more years. “You ain’t seen nuthin’ yet.”
Walter Sieruk says
Most likely Donald Trump is the best American President that this country will ever have in the twenty –first century.
Walter Sieruk says
That knowledgeable statement by Donald Trump that “97% of the people that came from Afghanistan shouldn’t be here.” Does reflect his good, valid ,judgment.
In contrast, that ignorant or treasonous Joe Biden scheme to settle all those Afghan refugees in the different States in American is a recipe for disaster.
Take England for example , The United Kingdom has already experienced many vicious and malice-filled murderous Muslims terrorists attacks ,as those ,for example, those different malicious and deadly jihadists attacks in London and that horrendous mass murder jihad homicide bombing in the city of Manchester in which so many innocent young girls died.
Another way to illustrate the folly of foolish and reckless kindness is by the fable of Aesop which of a kind old farmer who saw outside a poor helpless viper that was freezing to death in the winter cold. The compassionate but foolish farmer felt sorry for that creature so he went outside and put it in his vest pocket to warm it up and therefore save its live. The viper revived in the warmed of vest ,felt better then bit the farmer through the vest and the kind but foolish farmer died a slow and painful death from that viper’s bite.
So it might be in America by Afghan jihadists playing the part of a desperate “refugee” from Afghanistan who claimed that he was just fleeing the Taliban. For no amount of caring and kindness will change the murderous and destructive nature of a violent /jihadist/Muslim because such a man has been infected with an evil and deadly nature because of the evil and deadly religion.
