American author and businessman Robert Kiyosaki has voiced strong criticism of the Biden administration in the midst of the ongoing Middle East tensions, particularly between Israel and Iran. The “Rich Dad Poor Dad” author took to X (formerly Twitter) on October 5th to express his concerns over the U.S. leadership's handling of the situation, while simultaneously endorsing former President Donald Trump.
Kiyosaki's remarks come at a time when tensions in the Middle East are escalating. In his post, he highlighted a recent development, stating, "Israel just launched an F35 to bomb Iran." He further questioned, "Is this the start of WWIII?" Kiyosaki went on to criticize President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, calling their leadership weak in the face of such critical global events. According to Kiyosaki, this situation showcases the dangers of ineffective leadership, particularly during times of international crisis.
The author’s remarks have sparked significant conversations, both in the U.S. and globally, about the role of American leadership in international conflicts. With the U.S. presidential election approaching, these comments add fuel to the already intense political climate.
In contrast to his criticism of the Biden administration, Kiyosaki praised former President Donald Trump, stating that the ongoing Middle East situation calls for a "decisive and strong leader" like Trump. He also expressed his support for Trump’s presidential campaign, labeling him as a friend and someone better suited to handle such crises.
Kiyosaki’s endorsement of Trump and his criticism of Biden coincide with a time when political tensions in the U.S. are rising ahead of the November election. According to Polymarket data, Trump holds a narrow lead over Harris, with his chances standing at 49.9% compared to her 49.1%. Kiyosaki’s stance may influence voters, especially those who value strong leadership in foreign policy matters.
As the conflict between Israel and Iran intensifies, so too does the U.S. presidential race. With Kiyosaki's influential voice adding to the conversation, voters are weighing their options in terms of leadership and crisis management. Trump’s pro-crypto stance and Kiyosaki’s public support may sway undecided voters in the lead-up to the election.
