Trump calls for 'weak' Biden to be IMPEACHED for the first time & says he's not capable of handling foreign affairs
DONALD Trump has called for "weak" Joe Biden to be impeached for the first time and said he is not capable of handling foreign affairs.
The former president said in a campaign email to his followers: "I knew Biden wasn’t capable of handling our foreign affairs (among many other things), and now everyone is paying the price."
"Joe is NOT fit to be YOUR President. If he’s not going to RESIGN, then he must be IMPEACHED," he added.
Republicans had been begging Trump to help them impeach Biden following criticism of the president's withdrawal from Afghanistan, according to reports last week.
BRINGING IN THE BIG GUNS
The former commander-in-chief – who is yet to confirm a run for the White House in 2024 – is said spoken with several GOP lawmakers on the issue, according to The Daily Beast.
A spokesperson for Trump denied the report but the Daily Beast says two Republican sources confirmed the calls to them.
In his campaign email, sent on Tuesday, Trump said: "It’s been reported that Joe Biden had a phone call with the Afghan president 4 WEEKS before Kabul collapsed, where he pressured him to change the ‘perception’ of the Taliban’s progress.
"I remember when I got ‘in trouble’ for a phone call – which by the way was a PERFECT phone call."
He added: "Unfortunately for Biden, his leaked phone call was not so perfect. In fact, some are saying it is grounds for IMPEACHMENT."
Trump was first impeached by the House in 2019 over his dealings with Ukraine.
That came after a whistleblower complained about a 25 July phone conversation between the then US president and Ukraine's leader.
'I WARNED AMERICA'
"I warned America about this," Trump said on Tuesday, adding: "Joe Biden is weak. I know it, YOU know it, and now the whole world knows it."
The former president appeared on Newsmax on Tuesday where he said Biden's Afghanistan withdrawal was "incompetent."
He added: "I don't think our country has ever seen a period like this, how badly were doing, and then you take a look at the border.
"And worst of all is what took place in Afghanistan.
"That withdrawal was the most incompetently handled withdrawal or anything else in the history of our country.
"We're embarrassed in front of the world."
TALIBAN REGAIN CONTROL
Trump has said Biden should “apologize to the whole world” for the chaos caused as the US was forced to scramble to evacuate by the August 31 deadline when the Taliban regained control of the country.
He later claimed "something's wrong with Joe Biden" after saying the president "wouldn't pass cognitive test the way he did."
