The pullout from Afghanistan was negotiated completely by Trump in 2020 and was intended to be completed by May 1, 2021. That has been firmly established. Biden delayed it by a few months. Biden actually agreed that it was time to retreat from Afghanistan. The only difference might have been timing and methods but again, the deal was already struck by Trump.
There has been no significant change in boarder security since the election that would affect immigrants massing at the boarder. Biden did increase the numbers he would allow in, putting them back where they were before Trump. There were immigrants waiting on the boarder before, during and after Trump and this will likely continue for years to come.
There has been no change in energy policy either that would change the US's current level of dependence on foreign oil. And for that matter, the US hasn't depended on oil from the mid-east for decades. During the Obama years, the US became the worlds biggest producer of oil due to fracking techniques. https://www.npr.org/2019/08/13/750528826...ook-office
So why rail against Trump? Because he is still promoting his lies about a stolen election mostly.
Why is it so?
