Donald Trump likes to claim that he wants to end #ForeverWars.
So why hasn’t he? Because he doesn’t want to.

First, Donald Trump is a liar who has not only NOT ended #ForeverWars, he’s actually opposed efforts to do so, making Americans less safe and the world less stable.
Trump gave a speech in 2017 about getting troops out of Afghanistan. Right now there are approx. 8,600 troops in Afghanistan.
Trump has also actively worked to make the crisis in Yemen worse — fueling the worst humanitarian crisis in the world. Going so far as vetoing a bipartisan resolution that would have forced an end to American military involvement in Saudi Arabia’s civil war there.
Trump has spent his presidency saber-rattling against Iran — pulling the US out of the Iran Deal and thwarting Congressional efforts to prevent war.
We could keep going. But know this: Donald Trump is a failure as Commander in Chief. He’s a liar who has no interest in ending #ForeverWars. His capriciousness, lack of integrity, and anti-military/anti-peace policies make us all less safe.
