I'm sure Trump is ecstatic now that Biden's halo has slipped, but in his criticism of Biden, he really did come out with a gem. Trump said that Biden should have ensured people were evacuated from Afghanistan BEFORE the troops left. I hadn't thought of that - it's so obvious this is what should have happened.

Trump wanted to invite the Taliban to the US for a visit - Camp David, during his 4 years

What does it way about him?

I wish Trump would stop talking. I’m trying to pretend he no longer exists.

If Trump was still in charge we would not have had this fiasco, but unfortunately we have in Tony Blair's words Biden the imbecile in charge.

Mike Pompeo made a deal with the Taliban on America's behalf, locking in the next president. Thousands of Taliban prisoners were released. Stephen Miller made sure that special visas for American allies in Afghanistan were unavailable. Donald Trump wanted the exit in May. Did anyone learn anything from the Vietnam War?

It’s easy to say something should have been done after the event. I wonder if Trump would have thought of it before. Somehow I doubt it.

It's very easy for both Trump and Blair to criticise as they are no longer in power.
