Donald Trump has repeatedly emphasized on the campaign trail that America's adversaries have seized on the weaknesses of the Biden-Harris administration. He points out that Vladimir Putin held off invading Ukraine until after Trump left office and insists that the October 7 attack on Israel wouldn’t have occurred had he still been in office. While Democrats are quick to dismiss these assertions, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris continually provide evidence that proves Trump right.
Last year, mere days after the Hamas terror attack on Israel, Biden issued a warning in Israel's defense. “Let me say again, to any country, any organization, anyone thinking of taking advantage of this situation, I have one word: Don’t." Six months later, Biden, anticipating that Iran might attack Israel "sooner, rather than later," was asked by reporters what his message to Tehran was. His message was: "Don't."
It was a lame attempt to sound tough and intimidating, and as we know, Israel is now fighting a multi-front war for survival against Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Iran. Biden's threat failed to deter the evil forces in the world. And why would they? Who would take him seriously? Certainly not Israel's enemies. But it's not just Israel's enemies laughing at Biden.
Biden employed his "Don't Diplomacy" before with little success. In 2022, he warned Putin against using nuclear weapons in Ukraine, telling him "Don't. Don't. Don't." While Putin has yet to use nuclear weapons against Ukraine, earlier this year, the Russian military began nuclear weapons drills near the Ukrainian border.
Further highlighting Biden's ineffectiveness in deterring our enemies, Iran launched yet another massive ballistic missile attack on Israel on Tuesday. Despite the empty rhetoric of the Biden-Harris administration, Tehran remains unfazed.
With Biden set to leave office on January 20, America faces a critical choice: continue with the same ineffective leadership we’ve endured for nearly four years or seek a strong leader capable of restoring our standing because it’s clear that our adversaries don’t take Harris seriously either.
Following the latest attack, an old clip resurfaced of Harris offering advice to Tehran — an interview conducted weeks after the start of the Israel-Hamas war, where she discussed escalating concerns about a wider regional conflict during her appearance on “60 Minutes.”
“She told us the U.S. wants to keep the conflict from escalating but that's proving difficult,” CBS’s Bill Whitaker said during the interview. “In the last two weeks, Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthis in Yemen, both proxies of Iran, have launched missiles, rockets, and drones against Israel, and Iranian-backed militias have fired on U.S. troops stationed in Iraq and Syria. In response, the U.S. launched airstrikes against Iranian weapons facilities in Syria. If that weren't enough of a signal to Iran and other adversaries, the Pentagon has also deployed two imposing aircraft carrier strike groups to the region.”
When asked about her message to Iran, Harris echoed Biden’s one-word diplomatic approach: “Don’t.”

"Look at the World today," Trump in a post on Truth Social. "Look at the missiles flying right now in the Middle East, look at what’s happening with Russia/Ukraine, look at Inflation destroying the World. NONE OF THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS PRESIDENT!"
The message "Don't" is meaningless if the enemies don't respect or fear the messenger.
