Closing take
The story of August 24 wasn’t that Trump World discovered a new argument. It was that its old argument started sagging under the weight of its own record. You can shout “Biden disaster” all day, but if your administration signed the deal, set the deadline, and left the next crew with a collapsing Afghan state, the applause line comes with a receipt.
