Nope!
Roe v. Wade was a horrible law but Trump didn't overturn it. The judges he put on the bench overturned it.
Of course, we can thank McConnell for keeping Scalia's seat open and we can thank RBG for sticking around past her expiration date and dying on Trump's watch.
Any Republican president would've given us three new SCOTUS judges. I'm still waiting to be impressed by their other rulings.
Yet, Dobbs has turned out to be a GOTV bonanza for the Democrats that the GOP still can't figure out how to navigate.

Correct. And you’re quibbling. The bottom line is, it would not have been overturned had Trump not appointing three genuine Federalists to the bench and stuck with them when other Republicans would have bailed (e.g. The Bushes, Reagan).
For years the GOP Establishment had accepted the proposition that you couldn’t “upset the balance” of the Supreme Court. A conservative could be replaced by another conservative, and a liberal could be replaced by another liberal. But you couldn’t replace a liberal Justice (e.g. Ginsburg) with a conservative one (e.g. Barrett).
The Democrats had already won on the abortion issue so they were more than happy to accept a stalemate based on the existing status quo. And the Republicans, as usual, went along with this “gentlemen’s agreement”.
The Dobb’s decision would not have taken place had a poll-tested establishment Republican been in office at that time. It simply would not have happened without Trump. You know it and I know it.
