What foreign policy mess has Obama actually created or caused?
Afghanistan was in much worse shape in 2009 than it is now. Obama inherited that war. The NATO alliance has held together through that long difficult engagement.
Obama did not create or cause the mess in North Korea. Trump does not appear to have a clue what to do there. No good choices for decades.
Putin and Assad are to be blamed for Syria. Trump criticized Obama for considering strikes against Assad in 2013.

We should stay the hell out of Syria, the "rebels" are just as bad as the current regime. WHAT WILL WE GET FOR OUR LIVES AND $ BILLIONS?ZERO8:33 PM · Jun 15, 2013
So Oldstyle, the fact that Trump now realizes he was wrong in 2013 and that he knew about the mess there when he ran for office, he is literally doing exactly the same policy Obama pursued. Train and support vetted rebels and help them oppose the brutal Putin client Assad regime.
Perhaps Trump's fondness for Putin has made Syria much more of a mess than it had to be.
I was referring to the mess that Barry left with his foreign policy actually, Notfooled
