Supporters of President Trump point to the absence of large-scale new wars during his time in office and argue that his emphasis on deterrence and direct negotiation reduced America’s global military footprint. Critics counter that peace should be measured not just by new conflicts, but by rhetoric, alliances, and long-term stability, noting that President Obama favored multilateral approaches and diplomatic coalitions. The question comes down to how Americans define “peaceful” leadership.
Yes
He is.
No
He isn’t.
