President Trump's official statement on how he would have handled the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan

Former President Donald Trump described on Thursday how he would have handled the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan - but made no mention of saving Afghan allies.

'First you bring out all of the American citizens. Then you bring out ALL equipment. Then you bomb the bases into smithereens,' Trump said. 'AND THEN YOU BRING OUT THE MILITARY. You don’t do it in reverse order like Biden and our woke Generals did.' Trump claimed if he was in charge there would be, 'No chaos, no death - they wouldn't even know we left!' 

President Joe Biden is under fire for his administration being caught flat-footed as the Afghan government collapsed with the Taliban taking control - all before U.S. citizens and Afghan allies were evacuated from the Afghanistan. 

Biden has said in order to show confidence in the Afghan government, the U.S. delayed a large-scale evacuation of westerners and Afghans who supported the war effort.
