This chapter will undermine public and global confidence in Biden. How much? Time will tell.
But, I disagree that he is handling it like Trump.
Trump would have cut a deal with the Taliban to build a Trump Hotel in Kabul.
Trump wouldn't have given two shits about rescuing Afghan friends or Americans for that matter, placing all the blame on the Afghan leadership for folding.
Trump would have relabeled all the folks who helped us for 20 years as "terrorists" - unworthy of our help.
Trump would have sold our Afghan friends' women and children as sex slaves on the black market, pocketing the proceeds in an offshore account that is protected by "executive privilege."
And then Trump would remind is about hw great he was for getting America out of Afghanistan.
