That seems odd.
I dont think there has been a more war monger president than Obama.
I would think that all of the armament vendors stock would have been dipping as he left office.
And as Secretary of State Hillary was ready to blow up everybody. I would think that she would be the Raytheons choice candidate.
Trump campaigned on getting us out of Syria.
Trump is very pro-Defense.
He is not for America going around lording it all over everywhere else though.
He is for more quiet, controlled strength, basically.
But he is pro-Defense. No question.

It was also a sop to our allies in the Gulf kingdoms, whose restive troglodyte populations really, really hate their rulers for allying with the Great Satan aka Uncle Sam, and would just as soon see us killed to the last man, woman and child. Now, some may prefer to see us nuking the Middle East till it glows, in the aftermath of a terror attack dwarfing 9/11. I don’t. I think this Cold War we have with the murderous Muslim majorities of the region, with the Arab rulers keeping a lid on things is a good thing. Because a Hot War with us killing them by the tens of millions with nukes would be far worse.
People rag on the Cold War but we emerged from it without tens of millions of dead on both sides. I’d say it was an era that achieved a good balance of deterrence and diplomacy, even though these factors weren’t always present at the same time. But deterrence needs to be fed from time to time with concrete demonstrations of both capability and willingness to act. That was what this rap on the knuckles was all about. Conduct a gas attack, and we will destroy hundreds of millions of dollars of your equipment.

Raytheon knew hillery would sell their technology to the highest bidder. just like back in the day!
