Since entering post-presidency, former US President Donald Trump has been no stranger to using his newfound power to judge from the sidelines, with his most recent attempt blasting the Biden White House over its moves in Afghanistan. However, the latest dig also included a question for Americans, many of whom did not shy away in their response.
Eager to dish their best lines against former US President Donald Trump, netizens were armed and at-the-ready on Friday when the one-term leader listed a few issues plaguing the Biden White House and proceeded to ask whether they longed for the days when he was at the helm.
Trump’s fire-starting message was shared on Twitter via spokesperson Liz Harrington on account of the former president’s permanent suspension from the social media platform.
“Tragic mess in Afghanistan, a completely open and broken border, crime at record levels, oil prices through the roof, inflation rising, and taken advantage of by the entire world,” reads the statement before posing an all caps question to the whole of the American public. “DO YOU MISS ME YET?”
And with that, the floodgates were opened and netizens were filing a multitude of responses, showing absolutely no shame in dragging the former commander-in-chief for alleged mistakes he committed during his four years in office.
One user recalled the Trump White House’s head-scratching responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, writing, “600,000 dead Americans could not be reached for comment.”
To date, 619,250 Americans have died after contracting SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes the fatal respiratory illness. During the last days of the Trump administration, the COVID-19 death toll topped 400,000, a figure that experts have stated could have been significantly lower had the former president acted sooner in encouraging masking guidelines instead of undermining preventative measures.
Launching another strike against Trump, another netizen responded with: “Shouldn’t you be in jail by now?”
