Former US President Donald Trump has slammed Vice President Joe Biden, claiming that the country is being governed so horribly that he had no idea things would become this bad.
On the one-year anniversary of Joe Biden’s inauguration, Trump reflected on the first year of Biden’s presidency in an exclusive interview with Fox News on Thursday, January 20. He said the country is “being politically attacked by Democrats, two impeachment proceedings, and Robert Muller’s investigation into possible collusion with Russia, Trump attacked Biden on everything from the supply chain crisis to foreign policy. He also listed all that his administration accomplished despite political attacks from Democrats, two impeachment proceedings, and Robert Muller’s investigation into possible collusion with Russia.

Trump stated, “I had no idea the country could go down so terribly and so soon.”
“It wasn’t even a notion” during Trump’s presidency, he added of the supply chain crisis.
He said, “The phrase supply chain never actually came up.” “It was something we had, no one had any issues, and these were not two words in our language.”
“They were not in the administration’s lexicon since everything was functioning like a well-oiled machine. We also had no issues with the supplier chain.” According to Trump.

“I’ve never seen anything like it,” Trump said of his trip to Los Angeles, where he “saw the massive containers, thousands and thousands of them where they dock the ships, in the loading and unloading areas.”
“They’re stacked to the ceiling. It will take a long time for them to dismantle it. It’s terrible, terrible. It’s going to take a long time to fix it.” he added
Donald Trump, who recently released his first book since leaving office, “Our Journey Together,” a photo book filled with images and captions hand-picked and handwritten by the former president, said the supply chain crisis is even affecting his book’s production.
“As an example, I did a book and the book turned out to be a tremendous success, and we sold over 200,000 copies of the book which is much more because this is a picture book,” Trump said of the book, published by Winning Team Publishing.
“Right now, we’re ordering 300,000 more books, and they don’t even have paper,” Trump remarked. “They lack paper, glue, and leather, as well as the exterior binding that you are used with. This is a corporation that’s been there for a long time, I believe the country’s largest or second-largest printer, and they said they’ve never seen anything like that, never had anything like it.”
Trump said his administration “accomplished so much” during his first year in office.

“We achieved the greatest tax cuts in history, the greatest regulation cuts in history, Space Force, and we re-built the military over time and re-built the military,” he said.
“We did things that nobody thought— Anwar, we got Anwar approved. Ronald Reagan tried to get it done, everybody did, nobody could get it done, we got it. Would have been perhaps the biggest drilling site, energy site in the world and it was terminated by Biden and Lisa Murkowski made it possible to have it terminated.”
“You know, all of these things, we’ve done so much, and now I’m watching what’s happening to our country and our country is being destroyed. Destroyed,”
“Our dignity, our strength, it is being sapped and destroyed,” Trump s,d
He added: “It is hard to believe.”
The former president went on to say that the United States, under Biden’s leadership, “looks weak, indecisive, and incompetent.”
“China is dictating terms to us. Russia on Ukraine. China with Taiwan. Kim Jong Un as you know of North Korea is sending up missile after missile and very importantly, Iran is having a lot of fun doing whatever they want. And our country looks like it is just weak and incompetently run.” Trump said
Trump then attacked the Biden administration for the botched withdrawal of the U.S. military from Afghanistan, for losing “energy independence,” re-joining the Paris Climate Accord, “breaking up trade deals” and more.
“So many things,” Trump said. “Here we go again. Here we go again.”
“I never thought I’d see our country look so weak and ineffective.”
As for his plans to run for re-election in 2024, Trump said he thinks he is “going to make a lot of people happy.”

“I think you’re going to see a lot of people are going to be very happy, because, if you look at the polls, you know what they’re saying. And they’ve never been stronger. I’ve never had polls so strong.” Trump said
“They’re also now looking at what we’ve done,” Trump said, pointing again to his new book. “One of the reasons the book does so well is, even despite all of the witch hunts and things that went on, with impeachment hoax number one; impeachment hoax number two; the Muller Report, which was no collusion; all of the things that took place; Russia, Russia, Russia–phony story, totally phony–with all of that, we did so well.”
“People are looking, they’re almost romanticizing about I because they look at what happened to our country in the last year,” Trump continued. “In my opinion, the prestige of the United States now is lower than its ever been in history—in our history— it is the lowest it’s ever been.”
He added: “I would be able to bring it back and bring it back quickly.”
