Which wars has Trump started? Last I checked, he will be the first president in a long time not to start/enter a war during his presidency. In fact, he's trying to pull troops out of his predecessors wars and instead Congress is seeking a super majority to block him from doing so in the NDAA.
- prucomaclu 6y agoMaybe it just seems this way, but it seems like it's been a very long time since a US President has not started any new wars. I agree with you - it is a point in his favor that he's at least trying to pull out of these wars. I think it was 2 years ago, he announced he was pulling out, and the media instantly went into panic mode, calling the actions reckless, attacking his decision. So I will give credit where credit is due. He's at least trying to pull out of the wars.
- Applejinx 6y agoSince he's there to wage war on the United States, stands to reason that he's not quick to expand US hegemony elsewhere :)
