A written opinion piece can go either way. I could copy paste a different opinion piece from someone else and present it as truth. It does not change my view or make it myth.

The most brutal conflict that he inherited was ISIS. He stopped that pretty quickly by having the middle east de-fund them. Every US President drops bombs all over the place. I believe no one more than Obama. Yes I believe Trump's first term was more peaceful than Obama before him and Biden after him. Does that make him a peaceful President? No, none of them are. But I did not claim he was.

Isis never stopped

But I'll give you a slight lull in the death count during his presidency



2016-2020 saw fewer deaths compared to Obama.

However no change in number of armed conflicts


And he did set up the conditions for the current wars in the ME with his policies. The Abraham accords are deeply unpopular among the populations and seen as a ploy to sideline the Palestinian issue.

Almost every assumption that undergirded the Israel-Arab normalization agreements was disastrously wrong, and now we are paying the price.

That's Trump's baby, instead of helping towards a solution on the ME he sharpened the divides and fueled the tension leading to Oct 7.

The blood of 1,200+ Israelis, 3,600+ Lebanese and over 44,000 Palestinians is partly on Trump's hands.
