No wars. N. Korea quit rattling their saber, Arabs and Israelis had a peace accord, China was quiet. Sure, that was a poor foreign policy. Thirteen dead Americans in a disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. Maybe you should clean your stomach window and look around at reality.
N. Korea continued missile testing. China was not quiet and because trump pulled out of the JCPOA, Iran resumed its nuclear program. 13 dead soldiers were killed by prisoners freed because of the agreement trump made with the taiban.
And it seems you guys forgot this:
‘An Endless War’: Why 4 U.S. Soldiers Died in a Remote African Desert
Reporting from the desert of Niger to a small town in Georgia, The New York Times reconstructed how four American soldiers lost their lives — and why they were in Africa to begin with.

Cut off from their unit, the tiny band of American soldiers was outnumbered and outgunned in the deserts of Niger, fighting to stay alive under a barrage of gunfire from fighters loyal to the Islamic State.
Jogging quickly at a crouch, Staff Sgt. Bryan C. Black motioned to the black S.U.V. beside him to keep moving. At the wheel, Staff Sgt. Dustin M. Wright tried to steer while leaning away from the gunfire. But the militants, wielding assault rifles and wearing dark scarves and balaclavas, kept closing in.
Sergeant Black suddenly went down. With one hand, Sergeant Wright dragged his wounded comrade to the precarious shielding of the S.U.V. and took up a defensive position, his M4 carbine braced on his shoulder.
“Black!” yelled a third American soldier, Staff Sgt. Jeremiah W. Johnson, checking for the wounds. Sergeant Black lay on his back, motionless and unresponsive.
Cornered, Sergeant Wright and Sergeant Johnson finally took off, sprinting through the desert under a hail of fire. Sergeant Johnson was hit and went down, still alive.
At that point, Sergeant Wright stopped running. With only the thorny brush for cover, he turned and fired at the militants advancing toward his fallen friend.
These were the last minutes in the lives of three American soldiers killed on Oct. 4 during an ambush in the desert scrub of Niger that was recorded on a military helmet camera. A fourth American, Sgt. La David Johnson, who had gotten separated from the group, also died in the attack — the largest loss of American troops during combat in Africa since the 1993 “Black Hawk Down” debacle in Somalia.
More than 16 years after 9/11 spurred a broad fight against terrorism, some Americans say it’s time to look at how the country is deploying its forces.

This happened on Oct 4, 2017. Trump was president. You know, the guy telling you how he was sooooo strong that no one dared to attack anyone, anywhere on earth. U.S. troops were ambushed on his watch.
