During a live interview, Biden’s slip of the tongue was worse than any case involving secret documents: Trump.
In a new interview clip on Sunday, former President Donald Trump said that President Biden is not up to the job at a dangerous time for the U.S. when tensions are rising worldwide.
“Look, this is the most dangerous time in our country’s history because of weapons. The power of nukes is so big. “This isn’t like World War I or World War II when soldiers would stand behind a bunker and shoot people,” Trump told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo during a sit-down interview.
“This is obliteration,” Trump said in the second part of the interview, which aired Sunday on Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures.”
“And we’ve got a guy who doesn’t know what he’s doing. Trump said of Biden, “We have a man who stood up and told the whole world that we have no weapons.” “Did you know that I had every ammo building full to the brim three years ago? We’ve given away everything. But it would be terrible if you gave it all away. The only thing that could be worse is telling everyone. He has told China and these other dangerous places, “We don’t have any weapons.”
“You talk about secret papers. That’s worse than any document you could give,” Trump said next, referring to the federal charge against him over secret papers found at his Mar-a-Lago estate last year during an FBI search. “So, now these people are sitting back in China and other places that hate us, like North Korea, where I had a good relationship with Kim Jong Un and helped keep our country safe. People are talking about how the United States has no weapons. Consider it. “How can someone be so ignorant as to say that?”
During an interview on CNN this month, Biden accidentally let slip that the U.S. is low on 155 mm artillery rounds while talking about the controversial decision to send cluster bombs to Ukraine. This caused outrage on social media, where people questioned the chief of staff’s skills.
“It was a very hard choice for me to make. And, by the way, I talked about this with our partners and with our friends on Capitol Hill,” Biden told CNN’s Fareed Zakaria on July 9, before the president left for Europe to attend the NATO meeting in Lithuania. “And we’re in a situation where munitions are still being used to attack Ukraine in a brutal way. These cluster munitions have DOD rates that are very, very low, very high, and are very dangerous to civilians, No. 1.”
“Number two, the Ukrainians are running out of bullets. “They want to call them 155-millimeter weapons, but that’s what their ammunition is,” Biden said. “This is a fight about weapons and running out of those weapons. And we’re running out. So, I finally did what the Defense Department suggested and gave the Ukrainians 155 more guns and shells during this changeover time.
When asked to respond to criticism of Biden’s live CNN interview, a White House source took back what Biden said about the U.S. running out of weapons.
In an email, a White House source told Fox News Digital that the military has specific needs for the number of weapons systems and ammo we keep in backup in case of emergencies or armed conflicts. “Nothing we send to Ukraine goes over that.” So, the United States is not running out of weapons.”
