In a recent town hall event hosted by Fox News in Pennsylvania, former President Donald Trump expressed grave concerns about the current state of the nation under the Biden-Harris administration.
He warned that the United States is on a dangerous trajectory towards "World War III territory," attributing this to the administration's foreign policy failures, particularly in the Ukraine-Russia and Israel-Hamas conflicts.
"We're heading into World War III territory, and because of the power of weapons, nuclear weapons in particular, but other weapons also, and I know the weapons better than anybody because I'm the one that bought them, Trump declared to Sean Hannity and the audience gathered at the New Holland Arena in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, as reported by The Post Millennial.
Trump, who has been vocal about his efforts to strengthen the US military during his tenure, emphasized the importance of a leader who understands the power of nuclear weaponry and is committed to avoiding war. He said, "We rebuilt our entire military. We upgraded our entire program. And, you know, the one program I hated to upgrade, hated it, was the nuclear program. And I understand it maybe better than anybody."
The former president also criticized the current administration for its handling of international conflicts, suggesting that the conflicts would not have occurred under his leadership. "We have things going on in the world right now with Israel and with the Middle East. It's blowing up. We have Ukraine and Russia. That would never happen. That would have never happened. October 7th would have never happened if I were the president. It would have never happened. And everybody knew it. Iran was broke. They didn't have the money for Hamas and for Hezbollah. They didn't have the money for anybody. They wanted to get by, and we would have made a fair deal with them.
Trump's comments came in the wake of several international crises, including Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and the attack on Israel by Hamas terrorists on October 7, 2023, following the decision by President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris to withdraw from Afghanistan in 2021.
The town hall, moderated by Sean Hannity, also saw Trump criticizing Vice President Harris for declining to participate in a Fox debate on September 17 in Pennsylvania. He also lambasted her for the ongoing illegal immigration crisis at the US Southern Border, stating, "She wants open borders. Now she's all of a sudden, oh, I think we'll close the borders. She was the border czar, whether you like it or not, but even if you don't want to use that term. She was in charge of the border."
Trump further warned about the dangers posed by illegal immigrants, particularly those involved in human trafficking. He claimed, "More terrorists have come into the United States in the last three years, than I think probably 50 years. There's never been anything like it. These people are so bad. They're so dangerous. What they've done to our country is they're destroying our country, and we can't let this happen."
Trump's remarks underscore the need for a strong, knowledgeable leader who can navigate the complexities of international relations and national security. His critique of the current administration's handling of foreign policy and border security issues reflects a conservative perspective that emphasizes the importance of strong defense, limited government intervention, and the preservation of national sovereignty.
