Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday excoriated President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris over their stewardship of foreign affairs in the wake of an Iranian strike on Israel.
"They are very close to global catastrophe," Trump said at an event in Waunakee, Wisconsin. "We have a non-existent president and a non-existent vice president who should be in charge, but nobody knows what's going on."
He further lamented that "the world right now is spiraling out of control" and noted "I've been talking about World War Three for a long time, and I don't want to make predictions, because the predictions always come true."
"They're incompetent. We can't have another four years. We can't have we can't have another four years of what we went through," Trump insisted. "It's embarrassing. The whole world is laughing at us. That's why Israel was under attack just a little while ago, because they don't respect our country anymore. The so-called enemy doesn't respect our country any longer."
Trump made the remarks in the wake of an Iranian missile launch that saw "dozens of missiles" strike Israel, with some footage showing that many penetrated air defenses. The extent of the damage remains unclear as of press time.
Iran has stated that the attack came in retaliation for an Israeli strike in Lebanon that killed Hamas leader Hassan Nasrallah.
