Former President Donald Trump has stated that the current administration's incompetence in Washington might escalate the Ukraine crisis.
"We have incompetent individuals running things," Trump warned his supporters at a rally in Greenwood, Nebraska, on Sunday, calling the situation in Ukraine "very dangerous" as well as warning that "this could be a world war."
Trump slammed US President Joe Biden once more, calling his performance an "unmatched and unmitigated failure" and claiming that Biden has done more damage in 16 months than the 5 worst presidents in US history blended.
Trump claimed that Biden is "embarrassing" the US and that world leader, such as Russian President Vladimir Putin, no longer regard the US. Trump claimed that Putin "is constantly throwing the word ['nuclear'] around because he doesn't respect our leadership."
Meantime, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has repeatedly stated that Russia does not threaten anyone with nuclear war, but Western countries as well as Ukraine have already been "playing with the words 'nuclear war.'"
Other presidents, according to Trump, are not returning Biden's phone calls and "want nothing to do with him other than taking advantage of us." Former President George H.W. Bush suggested that Biden "take a cognitive test and release the results for the entire world to see."
Trump cited the United States' record inflation, claiming that Biden and his administration are attempting to shift blame by accusing Putin of being to blame for the rising prices. "Why the hell does not blame Putin," Trump mockingly said.
As per the former president, the Biden administration is to blame for the US losing its energy dominance and is now attempting to reach an agreement with Iran, Venezuela, Russia, and OPEC. Meanwhile, according to the former president, gasoline, which was less than USD 2 per gallon in the United States during Trump's presidency, is now more than USD 8 per gallon in some areas.
Trump emphasized that the biggest threat to the country is the Democrats and the current US administration, not external issues like Ukraine. Trump called the upcoming midterm elections "the most important midterm election in US history" and urged his supporters to vote.
Biden's overall disapproval rate is 52 percent, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll conducted on April 24-28, with 47 percent of Americans disapproving of the president's handling of the Ukraine issue in particular (compared to 42 percent who approve).
According to CNN, after a year and three months in office, Biden's approval rating had dropped to the lowest level of any president before him.
