Donald Trump has leveled serious accusations against President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, alleging they are responsible for the deaths of U.S. troops and their children. This claim comes after Trump faced criticism following an incident involving his campaign staff at Arlington National Cemetery (ANC) earlier this week.
On Monday, Trump attended a wreath-laying ceremony at the Virginia cemetery honoring 13 fallen service members who died in a terrorist attack during the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. However, the former president has since been embroiled in controversy related to his visit.
During a rally in Potterville, Michigan, on Thursday, Trump addressed the backlash his campaign team received after an alleged confrontation with a cemetery worker. In his speech, Trump made a dramatic accusation against Biden and Harris, attributing the deaths of the 13 military personnel to their alleged incompetence during the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal.
“Joe Biden killed their children through incompetence—this should have never happened,” Trump asserted. He continued, “Kamala Harris killed their children just as if she had a gun in her hand, due to gross incompetence.”

Trump criticized the Biden administration’s handling of the Afghanistan situation, stating, “She does not respect you—ask the families of the 13 incredible service members who died during the surrender of Afghanistan, which was handled by Kamala and Sleepy Joe.”
In an attempt to address the controversy surrounding his ANC visit, Trump explained, “they asked me to go yesterday to Arlington, and I did. And while I was there for a long time, was very tough to get to because I was not in a good position to get there. Was very far away. But I did, made up my I got there right on time, and I spent a lot of time there. And while I was there, those families had asked me to be there, as they said, three families plus one soldier who was horrifically injured both legs and an arm. And they asked me if I would be there. So I went. And while we were there, they said, Could you take pictures over the grave of my son, my sister, my brother? Would you take pictures with us, sir? I said, Absolutely, I did. And then I said farewell. I said goodbye, and last night I read that I was using the site to politic, that I used it to politic.”
Trump further criticized the legal and political establishments, alleging that the scrutiny he faced was part of a broader scheme. “This all comes out of Washington,” he said. “Just like all these prosecutors and DAs come from Washington. They’re bad people we’re dealing with.”
In his tirade, Trump reiterated his severe charges against Biden and Harris, insisting, “Joe Biden killed their children by incompetence. Kamala Harris killed their children by gross incompetence.”
