US Former President Donald Trump has pointed fingers at President Joe Biden for the recent surge in anti-Israel protests across several US universities. Trump made these remarks outside a Manhattan court on Tuesday, April 23, where he is currently facing trial for hush money allegations.
Speaking to reporters, Trump expressed his dismay over the protests occurring at institutions like Columbia and New York University, labeling the situation as a “disgrace” and blaming Biden for it. Trump criticized Biden’s approach, stating that the current president lacks clarity in his messaging and fails to understand the dynamics of the situation.
Trump did not hold back in his criticism, asserting that if he were in Biden’s position, there would be intense scrutiny and pressure on him to address the issue promptly. He went on to assert that Biden is the “worst president in the history of our country,” emphasizing that the ongoing unrest is a result of Biden’s inability to handle the situation effectively.

Moreover, Trump accused Biden of not being a friend to Israel or the Arab world, claiming that Biden’s actions have alienated both sides by being diplomatic. According to Trump, Biden’s attempts to strike a middle ground have backfired, leaving Israel feeling abandoned while attempting to appease the other side.
In response to Trump’s allegations, Biden condemned the anti-Semitic protests and reaffirmed his commitment to addressing the issue. During a press briefing on Monday, April 22, Biden emphasized the need to combat anti-Semitism while also acknowledging the complexities of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
The escalating tensions between Israel and Hamas have sparked a wave of protests across the United States, with students taking to the streets to voice their opinions. The White House has previously condemned these demonstrations, with Biden expressing his disapproval of those who fail to understand the nuances of the situation.
As Trump’s trial continues in Manhattan, his comments outside the courtroom reflect the ongoing political tensions surrounding the Israel-Hamas conflict and the broader implications for US foreign policy under the Biden administration.
