At a rally in Schnecksville, Pennsylvania, former President Donald Trump slammed his opponent President Joe Biden — arguing that under his leadership, the United States has become weak. Now with Iran’s latest attack on Israel, Trump said that it wouldn’t have happened on his watch.
“The weakness that we’ve shown, it’s unbelievable and it would not have happened if we were in office,” Trump said. “Everybody knows that. But America prays for Israel. We send our absolute support to everyone In harm’s way. This is an attack that would not have happened.”

The former president also made several social media posts regarding Israel, even criticizing Biden for making a pre-recorded response about the attack on Israel instead of making a live statement.
After learning about the attack, Biden cut his latest weekend vacation in Delaware short and returned to the White House.
Trump’s remarks echo his response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which also happened under the Biden administration.
With Trump in charge, Iran never would have had the financial resources to do any of this, or to arm Hamas and other terrorist groups. This is what happens when our government sends pallets of cash to Iran. https://t.co/mGIHkD8aX3

Trump assured Americans that if he is reelected, he will restore order on a global scale and fix the chaos that Biden has caused.
“We will return the world to peace through strength and it’ll happen very quick. We’ll revive American strength abroad and we will restore American strength at home” he said. “We were respected four years ago all over the world. Today we are considered a joke. It’s not going to be for long, believe me.”
The leader we need! Iran is running wild around the globe- causing terror and turmoil – emboldened by the Biden Administration. Biden has been great to Iran – by opening their economy to the world – which under Trump was -CLOSED FOR BUSINESS! pic.twitter.com/FOKX3WvinS

During the Trump presidency, the U.S. had power and was respected and feared by other nations. No one was giving the U.S. demands and blackmailing, like Mexico has with Biden in regards to the illegal immigration crisis at the southern border.
Trump had company in criticizing Biden’s response to the attack on Israel. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) also stated that Israel would have never been attacked under the Trump administration, writing on X that the world has become a “dangerous” place since Biden’s presidency.
So much for President Biden telling bad guys “don’t” actually being an effective deterrent. Every time he says “don’t,” they do.
This would not have happened on President Trump’s watch, and I hope the American people are closely following just how dangerous the world has become…

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) also condemned the president, stating that he has “undermined” Israel when they should have our full support.
As Israel faces this vicious attack from Iran, America must show our full resolve to stand with our critical ally. The world must be assured: Israel is not alone.
I will continue to engage with the White House to insist upon a proper response. The Biden Administration’s…

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) stated that Biden’s response to Iran is putting the world at risk for WWIII.
Iran's drone strikes show us President Biden's approach with Iran and the Middle East is backwards. Now as we risk entering WWIII, the U.S. must stand by Israel's commitment to democracy. The president must stand firm, and stop coddling Iran immediately.
