Would love to see evidence to support what you are saying. Trump did pull out of Syria, at Russia's request, but has increased threats towards Iran and Venuzuela, not to mention unbridled support for SA war in Yemen (including attmepting to bypass Congress to sell them more weapons -- which is contrary to what you are asserting).

Trump has not started any foreign intervention, unlike the past two administrations. Threats of foreign intervention are great and we should keep doing that. Imagine if GW Bush had just made threats. Man, I wish he threatened every country in the world, if that kept him from -- you know -- actually invading Iraq.

Moreover, he _defeated ISIS_, and _stopped nuclear testing in North Korea_. If any of the previous administrations achieved just one of these things, you'd never hear the end of it, and they'd receive a Nobel Peace Prize every year. With Trump, if you go to CNN right now, you can't even find anything about his _stepping over the DMZ into NK_ yesterday. He's the first US president to do so. It's a historic event, no matter how much they hate Trump. Go ahead and check.

>he _defeated ISIS_

He didn't, the Syrian Arab Army and Russia did (and the Syrian Defense Forces, to an extent).
