What I'm pointing out is what Trump's plan/deal was because it's being claimed that what Biden did was "Trump's plan". Whether Trump actually would have followed through with his plan for complete withdrawal isn't important to the point I'm trying to make here.

Biden claimed he was tied to Trump's deal did he not?

Trump's deal noted that complete withdrawal would happen when obligations of the deal were met by the Taliban. We never got to the point of complete withdrawal with Trump, so we don't know whether or not Trump would have kept a remaining troop presence there due to the Taliban not following the deal.

What is certain here however, is that Biden is in the moment of complete withdrawal and did not adhere to the deal Trump set in place, regardless of whether or not Trump would have followed it himself. Yet, Biden claims he was "binded by the agreement"

So then why is he completing the withdrawal when the deal is clearly not being met?  Biden's not even following the deal to which he said he was bound.

Saying this was "Trump's plan" is a complete deflection to defend a complete withdrawal that never should have happened the way that it did under Biden, regardless of what Trump would have actually done once May 1st got here and he was still President.

So basically your argument is that it's not actually Trump's plan because by Biden is completing what Trump did, and what Trump did was not in his plan.

Also, you're still absolutely wrong when you continue to claim that we don't know what Trump would have done with that final 20% for reasons that I have repeated a half dozen times, including in the post you're quoting. There's no point in me repeating myself.
