Trump says the US should broker a peace. He even offered to lead the negotiations. Biden and Zelensky turned him down.

MARCH 22, 2022: Trump Explains What He Would Do to End Putin's War in Ukraine

Trump wants Ukraine to receive jets.

Varney pressed Trump on "what extra military help you would give to the Ukrainians. You say you want to do more than just the MiG jets or the Javelins."

"Well, I think the drones are just as effective as anything nowadays," Trump said.

Drones are not jets

March 9, 2022: Why the US rejected Poland’s plan to send fighter jets to Ukraine

US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin told the Polish minister of defense that the US does not support the transfer of MiG-29 fighter jets to the Ukrainian air force “at this time,” Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said, either by Poland transferring them to Ukraine with the US backfilling Poland’s fleet or by Poland transferring the MiG-29s to the US to then give to Ukraine.

Austin “stressed that we do not support the transfer of additional fighter aircraft to the Ukrainian air force at this time, and therefore have no desire to see them in our custody either,” Kirby said.

His comments come a day after the US rejected a proposal from Poland to send Soviet-era fighter jets to Ukraine by way of a US-NATO air base in Germany.

Perhaps you're confusing President Duda with President Trump?

Trump was increasing our war capabilities against Russia Europe and moving troops closer to them.

He was also calling for the other NATO nations to spend more for their defense, which served as a deterrent. Why did they have to wait until an attack on Ukraine to see he was right?

If we had followed that policy instead of electing (I know) Biden, he might have been able to negotiate an agreement.

As for his policies, I did a search. To no surprise, all attacked him, but for all kinds of different reasons that in many cases contradicted each other. The only thing that was consistent was their hostility towards Trump.

Trump wants Ukraine to receive jets.

I would agree the attack on Ukraine was wrong, but I don't know who to believe on what, so I can't say if that would be the wrong or right move.
