No, he wouldn't have.

But Joe Biden did.

But that wasn't the criticism levied in the OP.

The OP was criticizing the fact that the Taliban regained control of the country. That they were re-imposing a feudal society, providing a terror sanctuary, doing more harm to more women, etc. That stuff isn't related to how we left, but the mere fact that we left.

It seems....implausible to suggest that Trump would have chosen to remain in Afghanistan and/or provide the resources to the Afghan government necessary for them to resist the Taliban. While the withdrawal might have been handled differently, it still would have happened. So blaming Biden for the fact that the Taliban is in charge is pretty bogus.
