Demands Biden "resign in disgrace" over Afghanistan withdrawal

As the Taliban entered Kabul, Trump issued a statement calling for President Biden to "resign in disgrace" for what he termed a "tragic mess" in Afghanistan. He also cited the border crisis and COVID-19 surge as reasons for resignation. The statement ignored the withdrawal agreement Trump's own administration had negotiated with the Taliban in 2020.
