In a recent episode of Sage Steele’s podcast, Byron Donalds and Wesley Hunt delivered a sharp critique of President Biden’s foreign policy, focusing on the evacuation of seven U.S. embassies during his presidency. Both Donalds and Hunt highlighted this as a sign of weakness and lack of protection under Biden’s leadership.

 

Byron Donalds did not mince words: “We have lost seven United States embassies under his presidency. What does that mean? So we have embassies all over the world, in every country that is essentially sovereign American territory under his watch. We have had to evacuate seven United States Embassies. That has never happened in American history. That’s how weak we are on the world stage. That’s how bad it is.”

Donalds continued, “When you are weak, and our adversaries know you’re weak, they push you. It’s no different than the bully in the schoolyard. If you’re timid and the bully knows he can get away with it, what happens? He comes for your lunch money every single week, yes, every single day, until you punch back. We have been weak under Joe Biden, and so our adversaries around the globe, big and small, know that they can push us.”

Wesley Hunt shared a story to illustrate the contrast between Biden’s and Trump’s approaches to foreign policy. “My favorite President Trump story. It’s my number one favorite of all time. When we were negotiating with the Taliban while President Trump was still the president. President Trump wanted to get out of Afghanistan, but he wanted a conditions-based withdrawal, meaning that you do what we tell you to do, and then we’ll start pulling troops back slowly, as long as you abide by our rules.”

 

Hunt continued, “It’s President Trump and Mike Pompeo, and they are talking to Taliban leadership in the room, and they had one translator in the room. President Trump looked at the Taliban leader and said this: ‘I want to leave Afghanistan, but it’s going to be a conditions-based withdrawal.’ And the translator translated, and he said, ‘If you harm a hair on a single American, I’m going to kill you.’ The translator goes, and Trump goes, ‘Tell him what I said.’ Reached in his pocket, pulled out a satellite photo of the leader of the Taliban’s home, and handed it to him, got up, and walked out the room. Do you know for 18 months, not a single American was killed in Afghanistan? That’s the definition of strength. That’s what I’m talking about.”

 

Hunt concluded, “So you could imagine that kind of sentiment being around the world. If we have an embassy in another country, no one’s going to touch it, because they’re going to be fearful that they’ll get a MOAB on their head. That’s how President Trump rolls. This is the opposite of strength. This is the definition of weakness. And so now we’re being feast upon by other countries when our embassies are there, because the Americans aren’t going to do anything about it, and they don’t want us there anyway. But the point of us having an embassy there, and the point of us having sovereign American soil is to be able to keep an eye on the world to a certain extent, to have that presence. But you can’t have that presence when you have feckless leadership.”

 

This pointed discussion on Steele’s podcast underscores the ongoing debate over the effectiveness of Biden’s foreign policy and the contrasting leadership styles of Biden and Trump.
