According to Mr. Trump, the situation at colleges is unacceptable and he placed the blame squarely on Mr. Biden. He accused the current president of sending the wrong message and adopting the wrong approach to the crisis. Mr. Trump, who is likely to run for the GOP presidential nomination in the next election, expressed his belief that Mr. Biden is indecisive and lacks a clear strategy.
In response to Israel’s military actions in Gaza, Mr. Biden has aimed to maintain a delicate balance. Although he has expressed support for Israel, he has also urged the country to exercise restraint in its response to the situation in Gaza, emphasizing the civilian casualties as a concern.
Mr. Trump has been critical of Mr. Biden’s approach, claiming that the current president has deserted Israel and is not an ally to the Jewish state or the Arab world. Furthermore, Mr. Trump went on to assert that Mr. Biden is incapable of effectively communicating and termed him as the worst president in the history of the United States.
