President Trump delivered an October surprise.
No one could have seen this big move coming from a mile away.
And Donald Trump made one bombshell announcement that took Americans’ breath away.
Trump Pulls Last Troops Out of Iraq
President Trump delivered on the promise Barack Obama and Joe Biden failed to keep, which was to finally end the war in Iraq and bring all the troops home.
Trump announced on Truth Social that the final U.S. troops remaining in Iraq were withdrawing in accordance with a September 30 deadline.
“Today, I am pleased to announce, that the last American Forces are leaving Iraq! It has been a long time, with very bad decision-making that got us involved in this quagmire in the first place, but soon, that will be part of History. This is a Great Day for America and, importantly, we leave with Iraq having a wonderful new Prime Minister, Ali al-Zaidi, somebody I supported from the beginning and fully endorsed. He won an Election that he was not expected to win, and did so, in a landslide!” Trump posted on Truth Social.
Trump ripped President George W. Bush’s disastrous decision to invade Iraq in 2003, which led to the deaths of 4,500 Americans and the rise of Barack Obama, as well as Obama and Biden for failing to extricate America from this quagmire.
“Launched in 2003 under the presidency of George W. Bush, and continued under the Administration of Barack Hussein Obama in 2014, and Sleepy Joe Biden, Operation Inherent Resolve ends in 2026 under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump,” Trump added.
The Win Over ISIS
Barack Obama’s failed attempt to end the war led to the growth of ISIS.
Trump noted in his post that in his first term he destroyed the ISIS caliphate in 3 months.
And Trump also took care to note that this was an orderly withdrawal, unlike the fiasco Biden oversaw in Afghanistan, where terrorists murdered 13 American troops.
“This Day is a victory for the United States, a victory for Iraq, and a decisive victory over ISIS, which has been completely decimated by the Trump Administration, First Term, along with other very bad and dangerous players. Unlike Afghanistan, where much Military Equipment and everything else was left behind, and 13 Warriors lie dead, with many badly wounded, this orderly departure of Coalition forces and equipment from Erbil Air Base marks the end of a very expensive excursion into Hell,” Trump continued.
Trump praised the military commanders who carried out the withdrawal plan in accordance with his America First foreign policy.
“I set a clear mission, gave our Commanders the tools to finish it, and refused to let a temporary presence become a permanent one. I had a choice to stay or to leave, and felt, without question, that it was time for America to go home! Prime Minister al-Zaidi, is outstanding, and he will hopefully be able to handle things very well. We came to fight a caliphate. There is no longer a caliphate. We are going home!” Trump concluded.
