Bottom Line: Continuing with the evaluation of Post-World War II Presidents... Trump (9) Defense: Outstanding – 5 – While President Trump and President Reagan’s personalities and approach were vastly different, their handling of defense and national security measures was similar. President Trump authorized highly successful missions to crush the ISIS caliphate during his earliest months in office making the US and entire world safer. His administration featured a net de-escalation of military conflict around with world, with fewer troops deployed today, than on the day of his inauguration. He reached historic peace deals in the middle-east with the Abraham Accords as Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan and the United Arab Emirates now recognize Israel for the first time in history. This after he recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and moved the US embassy there as well. President Trump successfully built over 400 miles of border wall, prioritizing the highest impact areas which contributed to a greater than 50% decline in illegal immigration at our Southern Border last year. All of this doesn’t include discussion of the Space Force or the Afghan peace deal.
