Trump first president in Ameria's 251 years to preside over 2 lost wars

President Trump loves to brag he ended 8 wars. The truth is a tad darker. He presiding over the lost US proxy war in Ukraine to destroy Russia. At the same time he's presiding over the lost war to destroy Iran in the Middle East on behalf of Israel.

Trump didn't start the Ukraine war. He correctly blamed predecessor Joe Biden for provoking it on his watch in February 2022. Said it wouldn't have occurred if Biden hadn't stolen the 2020 election from him. That's a wild claim as Trump spent the preceding term arming Ukraine to smash the Ukrainian separatists in Donbas and promote NATO membership for Ukraine. Both actions were instrumental in Russia's eventual invasion under Biden. 

When reelected in 2024, Trump boasted he'd end the war on day one of his second term. Five hundred, eighty days on Ukraine is a mere rump state largely land locked and near collapse. Trump has done nothing to end Ukraine's impending defeat. Just the opposite. He's still supporting Ukraine with intelligence to fire missiles and drones into Russia having no strategic promoting victory whatsoever. He's still selling weapons to NATO to gift Ukraine in their futile effort to stay in the fight. 

Trump impending defeat in the Iran war is even more catastrophic. This war is all on Trump. He made the biggest foreign policy blunder in US history by believing Israeli war whisperer Benjamin Netanyahu that Iran would collapse within a couple of days if only Trump would assassinate Iran's supreme leader Ali Khamenei. 

That two day victory expectation has turned into a six month catastrophe, not only for the US military, but possibly also for the world economy unless Trump admits defeat and settles on Iran's sensible terms. 

Two wars, one Trump helped facilitate in his first term, then prolonged in his second term into certain defeat. The second he started all by his demented self whose dire consequences have yet to be sorted out. 

Trump's two lost wars in term two...a dubious presidential achievement, unprecedented and likely never to be repeated or topped in US history.
