Maybe Trump shouldn't have negotiated a date for withdrawal. Sort of gives the game away.

Brandon has never had a problem canceling or changing anything that Trump had ordered, so he could definitely have postponed the withdrawal if he had wanted to. Instead he completely ignored the problem, did nothing at all for several months and as a result didn't start preparations until it was far too late. As a result thousands of our people and the Afghani friends who helped us were left behind in mortal danger and the Taliban now possesses several billion dollars of our latest military hardware. None of it had to happen and it wouldn't have under Trump.
