President Trump has been under water in the polls when it comes to his handling of foreign policy, but public perception doesn’t always reflect reality. The truth is, the Trump administration has made far more progress in reversing the feckless “lead from behind” policies of the Obama administration than most media outlets are willing to admit. Over the last few days, Trump has enjoyed some major victories.
On Friday, The Washington Post admitted something the left-leaning paper was surely less than overjoyed to write: “Under Trump, gains against ISIS have ‘dramatically accelerated.'” According to Brett McGurk, the State Department senior envoy to the anti-Islamic State coalition, over the last six months, the Islamic State has lost nearly a third of the territory it held since 2014. Trump’s delegation of decision-making authority to commanders in the field — rather than in the White House as it had been under Obama — has “dramatically accelerated” gains against the Islamic State.
