Former President Trump cast the blame on Iran’s attack on Israel on President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, saying the administration’s policies have enriched the Islamic Republic.
“Joe Biden and Kamala Harris made Iran rich in a very short period of three and a half years,” Trump told supporters in Waunakee, Wisconsin. “They have $300 billion now. They’re rich. I mean, they pay 6 billion every time they have, if they have somebody that was kidnaped, it’s always $6 billion.”
Trump previously criticized the Biden administration for issuing a sanctions waiver in September 2023, which allowed $6 billion in frozen Iranian funds to be transferred from South Korea to Qatar as part of a deal to free five detained Americans in Iran.
Biden came under heavy scrutiny for the move following the attacks by Hamas on Israel on Oct. 7.
“Iran was, on the verge of bankruptcy. They had no money left,” Trump said Tuesday. “They had no money for Hamas. They had no money for Hezbollah.”
“The people they’re fighting now, they would have been willing to make any deal,” he added. “You could have made any deal. But Kamala flooded them with American cash and everything. Now, I mean, they’re flooding them with cash. It’s honestly not even believable.”

When Iran attacked US troops in Iraq in 2020 and injured over 100 servicemen Trump did nothing. He dismissed the injuries as “headaches”. Trump’s inaction and passive response to Iranian aggression only emboldened Iran. And after Trump pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal Iran increased its uranium production and decreased its nuclear breakout time unhindered. And Trump was the one who invited the Taliban to Camp David and pressured the Afghan government to free 5000 Taliban fighters leading to the total collapse of the Afghan government. Capitulating to the Taliban and giving the mullahs a pass on a direct attack on US servicemen hardly builds deterrence.
Trump is disease, that needs to be stopped. how is it that 43 out of 45 presidents are related…shame on you evil americams””nazis’
Well Trump is correct that the Dems did NOTHING to stop Iran as a terror pushing and funding state.

It was Trump, not Biden who greenlighted Iran enriching uranium with no limit, it is Trump’s buddy Putin who is the reason the sanctions against Iran are ineffective, and it is Trump’s running mate Vance who voted against aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. And it was Trump, not Biden, who surrendered Afghanistan to the Taliban.
The price of gasoline collapsed because of a pandemic that killed over a million Americans a pandemic whose response Turmp completely botched. We could get a repeat of that under a second Trump Administration especially with Robert Kennedy Jr.’s junk science.
