According to the Washington Times, Trump said on Thursday: "If there had been no fraud in the 2020 presidential election and I was now president, the world would have known that our departure from Afghanistan would have been based on circumstances."
The former extremist president added that he had personally argued with senior Taliban leaders that they knew what they were doing now was unacceptable.
"This exit was very different and more successful, and the Taliban understood this better than anyone else," he said.
Trump went on to say that what is happening now is "not acceptable". It should have been done much better.
