Daily Wire host Ben Shapiro said he wished “President Trump were still president” while talking about the Biden administration’s actions leading up to the attack on Israel during his Wednesday appearance on “The Charlie Kirk Show.”
Shapiro made the comment while slamming the Biden administration over its handling of Iran in the Middle East.
“Do I think that Biden is at least partially responsible for the encouragement of Iran towards these sorts of moves? Absolutely, I think his weakness on Iran has been absolutely devastating for the region,” Shapiro told host Charlie Kirk during the interview,
“Listen, I wish President Trump were still president.”
“Man, if President Trump was president, none of this crap would be happening,” Kirk told Shapiro. “Joe Biden finances the terrorists and he allows Iran to go wild.” (For 3rd Time In As Many Years, Americans Are Stranded In A War Zone Under Biden’s Watch)
President Joe Biden has been criticized for his “weakness” on Iran amid the ongoing conflict in Israel. The Biden administration signed a $6 billion “ransom” deal with Iran in August, oversaw a failure to enforce oil sanctions, and reportedly allowed individuals working on Iran’s behalf to serve in the government.
Shapiro has historically been critical of former President Donald Trump, and did not vote for Trump in the 2016 election. Recently, Shapiro has been an outspoken supporter of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in the 2024 Republican primary.
