Trump will start winning again when he stops deferring to the Obama types in his Administration.

The “it’s bad for the U.S. to win outright” people are still around. The people who think — as Obama and Biden indicated obliquely, with all their rationalizations for never winning — that it’s better to keep our enemies in business so we don’t get too conceited about being the good guys and there’s a balance of power against us in the world, and besides, we can make deals with them.

These people are still around. There’s a lot of them on the never-really-American Far Right as well as on the openly anti-American Left. There are even a few of them near the top of this Administration as well as load of them in the media-Democrat crowd.

Fighting to not win means forever war

The reason Obama and Biden always fought wars in an endless way is that they worked hard to make sure they never came out with a clean completed victory. Every time our Syrian allies came close to winning, Obama cut off military supplies so as to make sure that, even if they happened to win, it would be done without America. That is the real reason why more than half a million Syrians got butchered by the regime and the war just dragged on while they were mostly losing. Similarly with Biden in Ukraine; he made sure Ukraine, when to his surprise it started winning, could not go very far.

This was fighting not to win – just short of fighting deliberately to lose, as I wrote in National Review at the time. It is why, after Americans got fed up with the forever fruitless wars of Obama and Biden, our side usually lost them to boot.

The real Trump wants to be a winner again

Trump will be @realTrump and become a winner again when he stops listening to the people who support the Obama-Biden policy. The real Trump will instead brings his wars to an end with victory. Real victory and real peace,........
