Destruction of the ISIS caliphate in eastern Syria and northern Iraq
The Obama administration was the one to launch an international coalition that was supposed to destroy the redoubt of the Islamic State back in August 2014. The anti-ISIS campaign was so successful, that it scored victory after victory in 2015 and 2016.
ISIS eventually lost complete control of its last oil field in October 2016, destroying its entire economic basis. The same month, coalition forces launched an offensive that was meant to retake Mosul, which was the last Iraqi city in ISIS hands, but also the extremely symbolically important Syrian town of Dabiq.
Trump maintained the anti-ISIS campaign in 2017 and 2018, and it remained successful. In fact, it even culminated in a U.S. raid that managed to kill the ISIS commander Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in October 2019.
ISIS is still an inspiration for terror attacks, but the Obama-Trump operation was successful, marking the end to ISIS’s attempts to found a territorial state, and completely ruining its conventional military forces.

President Trump is the best president this country has ever had and I thank God for choosing him to do what seemed impossible! My family prospered more under President Trump than we ever had under any other President or official. My family not only prospered financially but we have learned some extremely valuable truths/lessons that have helped prosper us in other ways that have enriched our family. He exposed truth that otherwise would have have trapped and enslaved us to corrupt institutions and taught all of us how to be a free people. President Trump may God bless you and yours for eternity!
I’m sure “The Captain” knows who actually proposed these initiatives in Congress, or whether or not they were Executive Orders. The fact that Trump signed them is good. His Administration did perform some reasonable acts , mostly overshadowed by an unreasonable tone and attitude toward Democracy, and a phony discourse of their concern for Veterans and the working class. Therefore, he was righteously defeated in his bid for re-election , and is now just basically and anti-government bearer of potentially traitoress aspirations and attitudes.
