Firebrand: Absolutely no. That would mean that Donald Trump would have had to care that people were dying and that just doesn't meet with reality. He would've just said, "I did what none of the other presidents did and got us out of Afghanistan" and that would be the last word.

i think donald trump should withdraw from the presidential race, for the good of the country

It is wild that a guy who is siphoning funds from his party to pay his legal funds is still the presumptive nominee to a party that harbors "fiscal conservatives". They want a strong military led by the guy who gave Afghanistan to the Taliban. He's the Taliban's best friend.

ending the war in afghanistan was the one good thing trump ever did

He only gets partial credit. He set a withdrawal date but it was Biden who actually executed it at great political cost.

Not entirely correct. He didn't just "set a withdrawal date", he also released 5000 Taliban prisoners. He also did not include the Afghan government in these discussions, which signalled that the US was going to be leaving regardless of who wins the election. It was a catastrophic decision.

And if he had stayed in office he would have cancelled the withdrawal once the blowback started.

Absolutely no. That would mean that Donald Trump would have had to care that people were dying and that just doesn't meet with reality. He would've just said, "I did what none of the other presidents did and got us out of Afghanistan" and that would be the last word.
