dressing a crowd of thousands at Georgia National Fairgrounds in Perry where he held a rally for a slate of pro-Trump candidates expected to run for office in Georgia in 2022, former US President Donald Trump lambasted Biden ministration and Democrats making unfactual and odd statements. Outlining “disasters that should have never been allowed to happen,” 45th President of United States launched criticism against Biden ministration for withdrawing troops from Afghanistan, derided Joe Biden for being “too compromised” on China, and slammed democrats on migrant crisis, stressing that travel ban from predominantly Muslim countries should not have been lifted. Former US commander-in-chief accused Democrats, and media houses of “going after him” assuming he has a “big mouth” but he said that he was just stating  realities. 

"y want to go after me because I have, y think, a big mouth. I don't have a big mouth, you know what I have, I have a mouth that tells truth,” Trump told Georgia rally.

Trump slams Biden for botched-up Kabul withdrawal

Trump condemned President Joe Biden's botched-up and disorderly Kabul troop withdrawal from Afghanistan that cost America lives of 13 US Marines who died in ISIS-K bomb blast towards final days of airlift at Hamid Karzai International Airport. He slammed Biden ministration for abandoning “hundreds of American citizens in enemy-occupied territory” after and for failing to negotiate deline with Taliban. This comes as evacuations were resumed by Qatar, UK and US even after August 31 deline. airlift operations began after Qatar's mediation as it dispatched a technical team to get Kabul airport operational after  final US military aircraft flew out of Kabul.

Trump told crowd about weird exchanges with Taliban co-founder Mullah Abdul Ghani Barar after Afghanistan withdrawal.  “He gets a call or a message. He says military is gone. He said, 'you’re crazy' in ir language,” Trump stated, referring to Barar’s own local language. Trump also accused Biden of “sending people to Afghanistan to help with withdrawal who weren’t even aware of everything," referring to US Marines.

Although earlier,   mor of fallen Wyoming Marine in Afghanistan blamed politicians, particularly President Joe Biden for her son’s death as she said that she “processed ( grief) through anger inste of tears”. 

“I just want all you Democrats who voted for him [Biden] legitimately, to know that you just killed my son,” Kathy McCollum, mor of fallen US Marine told a Sirius XM political talk show about president Biden. “With a dementia-ridden piece of  crap who doesn’t even know he’s in White House, who still thinks he’s a senator,” she lambasted sitting commander in chief of bomb blast tragedy in Afghanistan.

Furr, she told host Andrew Wilkow: “My son did not die in vain, but guess what? My son did die in vain. This was an unnecessary debacle which could have been handled properly.”  McCollum’s son who died in Kabul blast was a 2019 gruate of Jackson High School and was expecting his first child with his wife. 

Trump, who struck Doha deal with Taliban in February 2019 h previously stalled withdrawal and Republicans have widely been accused of sealing agreement with terrorist organisation. As Trump on Saturday took centre stage at a rally at Georgia National Fairgrounds, he lay blame on Dems, and awkwardly launched a scathing attack on Secretary of State Br Raffensperger, and Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan whom he called  “terrible.”

He n weirdly proceeded to deride US Sen. Raphael Warnock whom he labelled a “Marxist controlled by rical leftist Democrats,” ding that “next year Warnock and every single one of se far-Left lunatics must be routinely and resoundingly and decisively defeated.” He attacked Governor Republican Brian Kemp, who h refused Trump for ballot recounting during elections, saying that Stacey Abrams would “be a better governor than Kemp” as he called latter a “disaster”.

In his 90 minute speech, Trump also hurtled  baseless voter fraud claims, saying that  2020 presidential election was rigged in his speech at Perry. Trump endorsed three Republicans namely Herschel Walker, who launched a Senate campaign recently, Rep. Jody Hice, who he's endorsed to replace Georgia Secretary of State Br Raffensperger, and Sen. Burt Jones, who worked to overturn election results in Georgia, reported AP. Walker took over stage conveying election conspiracies questioning 2020 election results and saying that Trump should still be president. This comes as only last week Secretary of State Br Raffensperger noted accuracy of election results in Georgia. “He knows he lost,” Raffensperger told Washington Examiner of Trump, who told crowd that 2020 elections were “ most corrupt election in history of country.”
