One of the best things that Trump did in his first term was frustrate the attempt at regime-change in Syria, giving Assad and Russia just enough time to reassert control and thus make it prohibitively expensive to try it again. And this despite the atrocity propaganda about Assad gassing his own people for no reason, with the MSM pushing Trump to escalate our involvement, and thus turn Syria into the next Iraq.
Launching those cruise missiles that did nothing was a pretty clever way to "do something" without actually doing anything and thus to not needlessly make out of Syria yet another enemy. But of course for the Blob, this was unforgivable, they'd been intentionally destabilizing Syria with "moderate rebels" for years and Trump put his foot down and ruined their plans.
I point this out simply because Trump was overall, frankly, a massive disappointment, and while I hope to God he wins this election, I doubt that this time will be much different. However, preventing the destruction of Syria and the consequent fallout for the West, as well as facilitating the destruction of ISIS, would have won him a Nobel Peace Prize if those things were actually worth a damn.
