President Donald Trump on August 26 posted on social media platform X to honor the 13 U.S. service members killed by jihadist terrorists in Kabul, Afghanistan five years ago. Trump blamed the tragedy on former President Joe Biden's “totally botched Withdrawal from the Country,” which he said left American troops “defenseless” and allowed the Taliban to free thousands of “bloodthirsty terrorists and criminals” from Bagram Prison.
Trump said he met with the Abbey Gate Gold Star Families during his 2024 campaign, calling them “wonderful people and Great Patriots” who were “totally ignored and disrespected by the Democrat Party.” He promised them justice when he returned to the White House. “We quickly apprehended the evil mastermind responsible for the deaths of our Service members, and it has been one of my Greatest Honors as Commander in Chief,” Trump wrote, without providing details of the capture.
The post states: “Today, we honor the 13 brave American HEROES who were tragically killed five years ago by evil Jihadi terrorists in Kabul, Afghanistan.” Trump concluded: “May God Bless America, and may God Bless the Abbey Gate Gold Star Families. You will NEVER be forgotten!”
