1. It's Trumps fault the withdrawal turned out the way it did

3. Even if he got the timescale wrong the outcome is correct
Plenty of blame to go round for this mess:
Bush - started it, allowed mission creep.
Obama - the smartest one of the bunch, and should have known better.
Trump - cozied up to the Taliban, set this whole fiasco in motion.
Biden - did the withdrawal exactly backwards (evacuate civilians first, THEN remove the troops).
