But this is also a press failure, a case where the media is not adequately reporting an important success because it does not fit into the narrative of Trumpian disaster in which our journalistic entities are all invested.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The left never gives Trump credit for anything positive...

But if you had told me in late 2016 that almost a year into the Trump era the caliphate would be all-but-beaten without something far worse happening in the Middle East, I would have been surprised and gratified. So very provisionally, credit belongs where its due to our soldiers and diplomats, yes, but to our president as well.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~This from the NYT???

Well, not surprising when you remember that Obama fought the war on the wrong side, backed by the lamestream media and all the foreign policy “experts.”
Trump fought the war on the right side, or simply stood by while the right guys won.

Thanks for the excerpt. I won't give the center of the leftard homofascist universe NYT the pleasure of my mouse click.
That being said, great things can be accomplished when Americans no longer have a Muslim butt-buddy in the White House.

That very first sentence is not well written, and is difficult to follow on first reading. It happens to every writer, when you want to say several things at one time.

“Why havent we noticed this success?”
I’ve been noticing it all along. Then, again, I don’t have my head up my ass like asshat does...

Wasn’t it the NYT that declared the entire Obama regime to have been scandal free? What does the left consider to be Trump’s scandals? Seriously?

the Islamic State, whose expansion was the defining foreign policy calamity of Barack Obamas second term, whose executions of Americans made the U.S.A. look impotent That's why The Brown Clown was always wearing a suit.

Maybe ISIS is the jv team.
Maybe their defeat wasn’t that hard. I don’t recall any real struggle here either.
MAYBE the real reason ISIS is defeated is because there is no more support for them coming from the White House !
Obama created ISIS. And they say that ISIS changed after the initial formation, but they didn’t change at all. They had the same charter ever since day 1.
Our ex president, traitor-in-chief supported them right up till january 2017.
We didn’t hear about their defeat, nor much at all about them because ISIS IS THE LEFT. The media, the dems, our ex-wastoid president.. all of them are supporters of ISIS.

ISIS was always going to expand and that at a certain point retract and go away. That was the nature of its existence.

If Obama in his first year had had unprecedented economic growth and a major military victory, the media would have already had the Mt. Rushmore plans underway.

A member and high priest of the degenerate Homosexual Times lecturing us about Trumps fire hose of misinformation and lies while they themselves print on a daily basis misinformation and out-right lies.
Whats good for the goose, etc.
