Trying once again to make a tragedy all about himself, failed one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump said Friday that the horrific attack on Israel by Hamas terrorists that has killed thousands of people was a result of the 2020 presidential election being “stollen” from him.
On his financially troubled Truth Social site, Trump posted this absurd all-caps claim:
“THE ATTACK ON ISRAEL WOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED, ZERO CHANCE, IF THE ELECTION OF 2020 WAS NOT RIGGED AND STOLLEN. IT SHOWS THE WORLD HOW IMPORTANT ELECTIONS ARE. IRAN WAS BROKE AND TALKING, NOW THEY ARE RICH AND WATCHING, WAITING TO MAKE THEIR MOVE, AND IT WILL BE A BIG ONE! HOW COULD CROOKED JOE BIDEN, THE WORST AND MOST INCOMPETENT PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES, ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN? WE WENT FROM THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS AND PEACE, TO UNPRECEDENTED DEATH AND DESTRUCTION. NEVERTHELESS, THIS BIG AND VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM IS SOLVABLE. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”
Trump has also suggested that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is to blame for the attack, telling Fox host Brian Kilmeade, “(Netanyahu) has been hurt very badly because of what’s happened here. He was not prepared. He was not prepared, and Israel was not prepared.”
He doubled down on those comments while speaking to supporters in Florida and even praised the terror group Hezbollah:
“They’re vicious, and they’re smart. And, boy, are they vicious, because nobody’s ever seen the kind of sight that we’ve seen.”
Keep in mind that Trump has also lavished praise on Russian President/war criminal Vladimir Putin and North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, who he bragged he had fallen in love with after they met each other.
Donald Trump is a threat to U.S. national security and the safety and security of our allies. He doesn’t belong back in the White House. He belongs in prison.
