In the wake of Iran’s drone attacks on Israel on Saturday, Republican politicians including Senator Ted Cruz (TX) chided President Biden and his administration for failing to stand with our ally Israel in recent weeks, and showing the kind of weakness that emboldens America’s enemies around the world.

Another Republican who blasted Biden immediately after news of the attacks broke was former president and presumptive 2024 GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, who wrote on Truth Social:

In case you can’t read the post, it reads: “ISRAEL IS UNDER ATTACK! This should never have been allowed to happen – This would NEVER have happened if I were President!”
Then at his rally in Schnecksville, Pennsylvania, on Saturday evening, Trump expanded on what he said in his post near the start of his remarks, while echoing some of the themes from Friday’s Mar-a-Lago press conference:

He told the crowd
Before going any further, I want to say, ‘God bless the people of Israel.’ They’re under attack right now.
That’s because we show great weakness. This would not happen…the weakness we’ve shown is unbelievable, and it would not have happened if we were in office. You know that, we know that, everybody knows that.
But, America prays for Israel. We send our absolute support to everyone in harm’s way.
…
To think about, to think about what we have to go through, and the things we put up with the border, with the no energy independence, with all-electric cars.
But, we will return the world to peace through strength, and it will happen very quickly. I will revive American strength abroad, and we will restore American strength at home.
We were respected four years ago, all over the world. Today, we are considered a joke. It’s not going to be for long, believe me.
We’ll keep you posted on further updates stemming from the attacks.
