A blemish suggests that his presidency was otherwise good except for this one thing.
His presidency was an utter disaster in almost every area, and I can hardly think of a single aspect of American life that got better under his presidency. Maybe the only good thing was the Afghanistan withdrawal, but even then the execution was an embarrassment.
I tend to be much more generous on the Afghanistan withdrawal than most of his critics, because I think it was always going to be a disaster.
I don't think it had to be a disaster, mind you, but the generals intentionally create those situations, because the military-industrial complex doesn't want the withdrawal. That's why Trump never withdrew: it was always too dangerous and the generals never prepared for the withdrawals that he told them to prepare for.
