20 Reasons to Re-Elect President Trump
Remember this ambitious band of demons?
From 2011 to 2016 they spread death and destruction across the world.
Countless men, women and children suffered horrific fates — kidnapped, starved, raped, shot, beheaded, drowned, buried alive, set on fire. Many committed suicide to avoid their fate.
It was a five-year horror show, starting with James Foley (beheaded on video by “Jihadi John”). Then Steven Sotloff (beheaded on video by the same monster). How about the Yazidi girls, the social workers, and the men in cages burned alive? Every single day it was another appalling video on the news.
This all happened under President Obama’s watch.
He let ISIS spread from one country (Iraq) to 29.
He always had the power to crush them, but instead told us that defeating ISIS would be a “generational struggle” and that Americans should brace for a “long-term campaign”.
It was a total failure of American leadership.
Candidate Trump said that he would make the destruction of ISIS a top priority if elected. As president, he delivered.
He unshackled the U.S. military and ISIS was quickly decimated.
Just months after taking office, ISIS had lost 95% of their territory, including Mosul, Iraq (their biggest conquest) and Raqqa, Syria (their capital).
In short, Trump obliterated ISIS, and in less than a year.
Then, in 2019, he authorized Operation Kayla Mueller, which resulted in the death of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the founder and leader of ISIS.
