Trump Blames Afghan Shooter While Ordering 500 More Troops For Emotional Support
KEY POINTS
- ā¢President Trump confirmed Wednesday night the shooting suspect critically injuring two National Guard members is an Afghan national.
- ā¢The suspect arrived in the U.S. under Bidenās September 2021 'Operation Allies Welcome' program for Afghan refugees.
- ā¢Trump vowed increased immigration crackdown and ordered 500 extra troops deployed to Washington, D.C., following the attack.
- ā¢Homeland Security halted all Afghan national immigration processing immediately pending a security and vetting protocol review.
On a Wednesday so tense it felt like a Capitol Hill Tinder date gone wrong, President Trump blamed TWO critically wounded West Virginia National Guard members' Afghan attacker squarely on Biden's immigration playlist. Yes, the suspect was an Afghan national flown in courtesy of Bidenās āOperation Allies Welcomeā in September 2021, with status extended through yet more soothing legislation. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem shouted from X that the suspect's arrival was all about helping vulnerable Afghan refugees, but Trump prefers to call it 'the greatest national security threat' starring 'unknown and unvetted' immigrants. To combat this postal ambush-styled suspense, heās sending 500 extra troopsāhalf a National Guard battalionāto D.C., promising America will be 'totally safe again,' which roughly translates to 'expect more barricades and tweets.'

When your immigrant vetting system looks like it was powered by blindfolded bingo, the President shows up with a troop Surge and a blame game hotter than a microwave burrito.
Apparently, letting vulnerable Afghan refugees in is the new national threat ā next up, clowns and Indy 500 pit crews on the watch list.
Sending 500 more troops to D.C. sounds like a joke until you realize itās basically crowd control for Congressā Twitter fingers.
