Better chance they will all STFU. Which is to say none.

I've not seen any commentary from former presidents on all this. I think there's a tradition of not butting in; there's an understanding of what it's like to be in the hot seat, and they had their turn and now it's so-and-so's turn, and leave him to it.
It's kind of like when Tom Brady was asked to comment on Aaron Rodgers' troubles, and what advice he would give him. I don't recall Brady's exact words, but it was something to the effect that Rodgers knows what he's doing and he, Brady, had faith that Rodgers would handle it just fine.
Kind of like that.

I may be wrong, but I think 44 broke that tradition.

One big difference between Trump and other former Presidents, Trump is still a potential candidate for the office in the future.

yes, and 44 was the first president in memory to blame all his problems on his predecessor.

That wasn’t for me was it? I don’t think I said anything to get that comment.

I guess I wonder what a long term presence there that guaranteed women's education, etc. would have had. That would be nearly two generations of Afghans growing up in that situation. We're still in South Korea and Europe We still have a small presence in Iraq.

Please, the press will forget about it by September.
Joe will forget about it by Wednesday unless he takes his pill…

All I know is that Trump demanded it. I would be very careful about crossing Trump, if I were Biden. Trump is almost as dangerous as robots. And everybody knows how scared the elderly are of robots.

The videos of Afghans clinging to the wheel wells of transports will be all over the news.
Not to mention the guy falling to his death.

I'm so curious what those people were thinking. They must have thought it's somewhat like a train and they could actually make it if they held on tight enough.
