Trump was very complicit in the bad Afghanistan withdrawal. By cutting the ostensibly US-supported Afghan government out of the negotiations with the Taliban, he signaled that that government was a sinking ship and the Afghans outside of Kabul saw the writing on the wall and cut their own deals with the Taliban, leading to the much faster than expected collapse when the actual US withdrawal began. Not one of Biden's or US intelligence's finest hours, but he was absolutely set up to fail by his predecessor. To change course he would have had to risk attacks on US forces (something Trump supporters generally oppose in other contexts).
What a pathetic justification of Biden's disastrous handling of Afghanistan, leaving Americans there to die, as well as billions in equipment, now in the hands of terrorists.
