No, that's about right. He is the most anti war president we have had my entire life.

tl;dr
Trump followed in the footsteps of Barack Obama
Obama, "double-tap to kill medical first responders", had started a soft-war over half of the world, with his "War On Terrorism." Trump inherited active conflict in very many locations. Obama had plenty help from Clinton and Bush. Surely it is old stuffy generals in a backroom somewhere, who really decide these things, not Presidents, yet they are the public whipping-boy.
Most of the complains here are kind of lame....but only due to the desensitization that our massively murderous country has accustomed us to under Obama.
This article isn't to blame, it simple repeats the misleading talking points that the media conjured up at the time to disparage Trump. You can see the same gaslighting they used back then, by interjecting context-less, small-brained, motivations for attacking a country, like: due to them being oil or mineral rich.
This article complains that Trump continued fighting Terrorist in Afghanistan, Syria, and Pakistan.
It complains that Trump "killed" the already dead nuclear deal, which was already useless and being subverted. Its continuation only hampered us, not Iran's continuing nuclear development. Democrats seem unable to make legislation or foreign deals that aren't mortally flawed and useless, like the ridiculously stupid and flawed Iran deal was from the start.
openly assassinated an Iranian general,
He openly took out a top terrorism leader, who slipped through Obama's fingers a few times and who had just pulled off an attack on US soldiers in Afghanistan (remember there US soldiers' ear-blown out attack?). This terrorist leader had a day job was a general at a terrorist supporting government who we already had a contentious relationship with, Iran.
The media hated Trump so much, that they shit on our troops, and sobbed for their fallen assassin, and praised Iran. despicable.
Did Trump successfully "start" a war? Not quite — although he tried.
Then they laughably cite that Trump supported the US-backed "pro-democracy" social-democratic Presidential candidate for Venezuela, who challenged after Venezuela had a corrupt election, which had to be thrown out. The previous authoritarian President Nicolás Maduro, continued to lead.
You have to wonder if the US helped rig the election for the authoritarian, secretly supporting him, while publicly complaining and pretending to support the unlikely long-shot for democracy. We do a lot of pretend-supporting of democracy, while our actions frequently are the opposite.

He wasn't peaceful when it came to the wealthy political insiders, or the sycophantic media. That pissed a lot of them off.
