      Which wars in specific were the “forever wars” that Biden started that Trump then stopped? Which countries did Biden invade with the military he controls? Name them.

        The wars that Trump is working to end, and on which he has made significant progress within less than one month of his inauguration, are the Israel-Hamas war and the Russia-Ukraine war.

          Neither of those were started by Biden. Why did you say they were?

          Also, what progress? Russia just drone bombed the Chernobyl concrete dome.

            Started under Biden’s watch.

            It’s quite a denial to claim that Trump didn’t make significant progress in stopping that war.

              Okay the Trump is responsible for all of these wars and military conflicts since they happened under his watch:

              I believe you described all of that as “very peaceful” earlier.

              Looking forward to the explanation for how ISIS in Iraq isn’t Trump’s fault even though somehow it’s Biden’s fault that Russia invaded Ukraine.

                Seems like you have problems figuring out that wars are at different scales. The Israel-hamas war and Russia-Ukraine wars are large scale wars. Not all wars are the same. Just common sense really.

                  You have not explained why none of those are Trump’s fault and yet the wars you are talking about are Biden’s fault. Please explain.

                    No need to explain. The vast majority of people would agree the world is much more peaceful under Trump’s first term than under Biden’s administration.
