Within hours of Iran firing hundreds of missiles at Israel, former President Donald Trump eviscerated President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for their weakness.
During a Tuesday event in Waunakee, Wisconsin, Trump pointed out that Iran “desperately wants Kamala Harris to be president” — arguing that the terrorist-supporting nation and Americas other adversaries believe “as long as she’s in power, they can take advantage of America like never before.”

The Republican nominee, whose first term saw significant progress toward peace in the Middle East thanks to the Abraham Accords, also vowed that there would be “peace in the world again” if he is reelected.
“If she gets four more years, the world goes up in smoke. This world will go up in smoke,” Trump continued, warning of the high likelihood of World War III under a Harris-Walz administration.
He went on to blame the “incompetent” Biden-Harris administration for “flooding [Iran] with cash,” reversing the Trump administration’s tough stance on Iran that had the nation “in check” during his first term.

“Iran was on the verge of bankruptcy. They had no money left. They had no money for Hamas. They had no money for Hezbollah, the people [Israel’s] fighting now,” he explained.
“They would have been willing to make any deal. You could have made any deal, but Kamala flooded them with American cash, and even now, I mean, they’re flooding them with cash,” Trump added. “Honestly, it’s not even believable.”
Trump then repeated his typical assertion that Iran’s attack on Israel would not have happened if he were still in office, which is almost certainly true considering his tough stance on the world stage and the lack of escalation in Middle Eastern conflict under his first term.
“The whole Middle East has been unraveling, but, of course, the whole world has been unraveling since we left office,” Trump said.
Near the start of his speech, Trump made similar remarks about the other global catastrophes under the Biden-Harris administration.
“Russia would have never attacked Ukraine. This would have never happened in the Middle East. There wouldn’t have been an October 7. You wouldn’t have had inflation,” he said, also highlighting Biden’s botched Afghanistan withdrawal.
