Trump blames Biden’s open border policy for US attacks, calls him 'worst President'
The former president, who will be sworn in as the 47th president on January 20, also called for increased intervention by the CIA to address what he described as the erosion of safety and national security.

In the wake of a series of violent attacks in the United States, former President Donald Trump has placed the blame squarely on President Joe Biden's "open borders policy." Trump criticized Biden’s handling of national security, calling his administration the "worst in the history of America."
The United States was rocked by three attacks in early 2025, which collectively claimed 16 lives and left many others injured. The first incident occurred in New Orleans, where an ISIS-inspired assailant, Shamsud Din Jabbar, drove into a crowd, killing 15 people. Jabbar was shot dead by law enforcement during a subsequent shootout. Hours later, a Tesla Cybertruck exploded near Trump Tower in Las Vegas, with authorities investigating possible links between the two events. The third attack, a shooting at a nightclub in New York, left 11 injured, though further details remain scarce.
Trump responded strongly to the attacks, blaming the surge in crime on Biden’s border policies. In a series of posts on social media, Trump declared, "With Biden’s ‘Open Borders Policy,’ I said many times that radical Islamic terrorism and other forms of violent crime would become so bad in America that it would be hard to even imagine." He also labeled Biden's administration as corrupt and ineffective, accusing the FBI, DOJ, and local prosecutors of failing to protect Americans.
The former president, who will be sworn in as the 47th president on January 20, also called for increased intervention by the CIA to address what he described as the erosion of safety and national security. He vowed to restore strength and leadership to the country, saying, "Only strength and powerful leadership will stop it."
Trump’s remarks were accompanied by his continued criticism of the Democratic Party, which he claims has allowed the country to deteriorate. Despite the political fallout, Trump’s message resonated with his base, as he called for a return to his "Make America Great Again" agenda.
