He's got a long way to go. Not starting any has been nice, and dropping the whole "You see, we're attacking and destabilizing your country because of Democracy!" has been nice. Obama's shit in Libya was ridiculous, as was extending the Syrian civil war by propping up various non-gov't armed groups. But I clenched hard when Trump bombed that Syrian airfield and assassinated Solemani. Continuing support for Saudi attacks in Yemen has also been terrible, along with the continued drone program.

I wish Trump had hired some people with moral convictions against these wars, like Rand or Tulsi or someone. Right now it's just his gut and a few unprincipled yes-men vs. an army of Bush era neocons.
