Despite candidate Donald Trump's welcome, sometimes critical look at long-standing entangling U.S. alliances and arrangements, there was little doubt, given his rhetoric on the war on terror, that he would ramp up military involvement. He redeclared that war in his inaugural, putting a new face and new rhetoric to a decades-long fight.

Silence from the msm on Trump winning the war on isis. They all said Trump couldn’t do it, bluster, inexperienced, etc. It Was Just Too Hard.
Ha!
One of the illuminating changes with the Trump administration was how quickly ISIS started collapsing once Trump was in charge. Either Obama, McCain and the rest where propping up ISIS or Obama was mulzing the US military.
It’s being brought to them.
Newsweek is an MSM pub, though. So the evidence is there for even those who might like to ignore it.
All he has to do is tell the military to kill the terrorists and they will do the rest whereas obama said to drop the bombs in the desert.
Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach. The ones left over write biased, inaccurate articles for the lame stream media.
