Syria Looks Different After Trump


These two “winning” pictures will SILENCE Trump’s critics forever

President Donald Trump held up the illustration that may define his presidency.
And not even Trump’s harshest critics can argue the results.
On Wednesday, Trump proclaimed that ISIS would be ‘gone by tonight.’

In his hands were two pictures of the ISIS stronghold in Syria: One from the year he came into office, and what that same region looks like today.
The difference is stunning.
The 2016 map showed bunches of red over thousands of miles where the radical Islamic terrorists held control.
“This is ISIS on Election Day. When I took over, it was a mess,” the commander-in-chief said of the Islamic caliphate.

On the more recent map of Syria, the red is nearly all erased. What was once an expanding terror extremist group—nearly the size of Britain—has reduced to an embarrassing and weak shell of itself. The administration’s prowess has eradicated more extremist terrorists than ever seen in the Obama era.
“There’s actually a tiny spot which will be gone by tonight.”
The president shared the two pictures on Twitter —
Multiple reports for more than a month have suggested that the radical terror group had been on its last legs. The extremist group’s population has been dwindling fast for some time now. The successful destruction of ISIS has yielded such results that it ha prompted Trump to begin the withdrawal of U.S. troops in Syria.
The most recent showdown took place in the village of Baghuz. The New York Times reports that the “fighters, women and children surrendered and were taken to prisons and crowded refugee camps.” The few terror fighters left were pushed to a meager territory nearby a river.

Day by day, it increasingly seems as though the president was correct to withdraw troops from the Middle East.
According to PoliticoTrump has said that two groups of 200 will remain in Syria. Less than the 400 he previously suggested. Proof that the fewer troops we need in Syria is only more proof that America is finally winning… again.
