   Trump now blaming Biden, but Trump sret the wjeels in motion?   
      
   "Former US president Donald Trump called for his successor Joe Biden to   
   resign on Sunday over the swift takeover of Afghanistan by Taliban   
   militants, as US troops withdrew from the country after nearly 20 years   
   on the ground.   
      
   "It is time for Joe Biden to resign in disgrace for what he has allowed   
   to happen to Afghanistan," Trump said in a statement, also blasting him   
   over a surge in Covid-19 cases in the United States and domestic   
   immigration, economic and energy policies.   
      
   The Taliban have reconquered Afghanistan in a lightning surge 20 years   
   after they were toppled by the US invasion.   
      
   They took control of Kabul on Sunday, more than two weeks before the   
   August 31 deadline set by Biden to complete the withdrawal of American   
   troops from the country.   
      
   It was under Trump that the US brokered a deal with the Taliban in Doha   
   in 2020 that would have seen the US withdraw all its troops by May   
   2021, in exchange for various security guarantees from the militants."   
      
   LOL  That Trump is one frigging deviate.   
      
   Looks like he is to blame as well.
