Comments on Question
It is not really a logical fallacy but merely speculation based on a subjective opinion.
I am politically neutral for the most part. I vote in every election but am in no way partisan toward a specific party. But I feel this is a broad assumption that if Trump was still in office this would not have happened. I believe in empiricism and that if he isn’t the president we don’t know exactly what would of happened or how he could of handled it. Just like we wouldn’t of known exactly how Biden would have handled the challenges from 2017-2021 during Trumps presidency because he wasn’t in office.

2They must have forgotten how Trump compliments Putin, and how Putin supported Trump in the election and put out pro Trump and negative Clinton propaganda in the U.S. And how Trump got impeached for withholding military aid and weapons to Ukraine to protect itself against Russia.
These are just extremely biased people who repeat whatever Trump tells them to. Very gullible tribalistic people in politics.

Sounds a lot like a Single Cause/Oversimplification Fallacy...
