Former President Donald Trump is launching a new campaign-style advertisement on digital platforms attacking President Joe Biden, criticizing his embattled successor’s handling of the U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan.
The 90-second spot, referring to Biden as the “surrenderer-in-chief,” is a montage of still photographs and video clips depicting the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan and chaos in Kabul as Americans and their Afghan allies struggle to secure their evacuation from the South-Central Asian nation.

Save America, Trump’s political action committee, is airing the advertisement, which was scheduled to hit digital platforms Tuesday.
Surrenderer-In-Chief: Joe Biden lied to America and to the World when he told us “America was back.” Instead, he surrendered to the Taliban, and left Americans behind to die in Afghanistan. It’s time to KNOW the TRUTH!https://t.co/SN7GZBsaMR pic.twitter.com/UKoWrsnXGi

“Joe Biden lied to America and to the World when he told us ‘America was back.’ Instead, he surrendered to the Taliban, and left Americans behind to die in Afghanistan,” a spokesman for Save America said in a statement.
“This will go down as one of the greatest Military failures in American history. Now, it’s the Taliban that is back – not America,” the spokesman added. “This is not the America we know and the media refuses to hold Biden accountable for the destruction and tragedy he’s caused. It’s time for the truth.”
Biden defeated Trump last November. After the president took office, he decided to stick to the withdrawal from Afghanistan that Trump precipitated in the latter half of his term, though setting a later deadline. The former president negotiated a peace deal with the Taliban, which was much criticized at the time on the Right and the Left.

Biden’s handling of the withdrawal of U.S. forces and extraction of U.S. citizens and Afghans who aided the war effort over the past 20 years has come under intense criticism and sent his job approval rating tumbling.
