Trump wanted all Americans out of Afghanistan before he left office no matter what but the military said, 'no'.

And rightly so. Trump did not order All Americans out of Afghanistan.

The Generals also told Biden the same.

'Top generals contradict Biden, say they urged him not to withdraw from Afghanistan'

Biden was not bound to agree to the date set by Trump.

'Eighteen months later, President Joe Biden is pointing to the agreement signed in Doha, Qatar, as he tries to deflect blame for the Taliban overrunning Afghanistan in a blitz. He says it bound him to withdraw U.S. troops, setting the stage for the chaos engulfing the country.

But Biden can go only so far in claiming the agreement boxed him in. It had an escape clause: The U.S. could have withdrawn from the accord if Afghan peace talks failed. They did, but Biden chose to stay in it, although he delayed the complete pullout from May to September.'
