In recent statements, Donald Trump criticized the Biden administration for inadequate security measures during a rally where an assassination attempt occurred, claiming that requests for additional Secret Service personnel were denied. During an interview with Dr. Phil, Trump suggested that the rhetoric from Biden and Harris could have incited the attack, asserting that the administration was weaponizing the government against him. On the third anniversary of the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, Trump also condemned Biden and Harris for their handling of the situation, linking them to the deaths of 13 U.S. service members due to a terrorist attack during the evacuation. He characterized the withdrawal as a 'humiliation' that damaged American credibility internationally. Trump laid wreaths at Arlington National Cemetery to honor the fallen soldiers while blaming the current administration for the tragic events. In response, Vice President Harris defended the withdrawal decision as necessary and courageous, maintaining that the administration acted appropriately.
