They didn't say no withdrawal whatsoever wouldn't happen. Trump removing 80% of our troops is beside the point being made here.
No, I rejected your claim because it was not rooted in reality and then I provided evidence directly from Trump for why it was not rooted in reality. This belief that Trump would have held the Taliban accountable has been repeated by multiple people and it has been addressed multiple times as being baseless.
No one has attempted to address why Trump removed 80% of the troops without the Taliban meeting conditions. No one has attempted to address why Trump pushed for the May date to be honored. No one has attempted to address why Trump bragged in late June about Biden being unable to stop the withdrawal.
If you want to address why nothing Trump has said or done over the last 18 months supports your belief about what he would say or do, then I am hear to listen.
