The swamp is ‘frightened’ by Trump’s move toward peace
Following his announcement that he is pulling US troops out of Syria, President Trump is forging ahead with a withdrawal from Afghanistan, according to multiple reports. The news has rocked the establishment, with the media, Democrats, and even Republicans going into full on panic mode.
The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that “7,000 American troops will begin to return home from Afghanistan in the coming weeks.” The number equates to 50 percent of all US troops stationed there.
“The move will come as the first stage of a phased drawdown and the start of a conclusion to the 17-year war that officials say could take at least many months,” the report notes.
The move sent Lindsey Graham into meltdown, with the Republican Senator declaring that Trump is “paving the way toward a second 9/11.”
I have just returned from Afghanistan and can say – without hesitation – ISIS-K remains a direct threat to our homeland and they would dramatically benefit from a reduced American troop presence. https://t.co/P3jgqF4MfY

The conditions in Afghanistan – at the present moment – make American troop withdrawals a high risk strategy.
If we continue on our present course we are setting in motion the loss of all our gains and paving the way toward a second 9/11.

The reports coincide with the resignation of US defense secretary James Mattis, who addressed Trump with a stinging tone in his final statement.
“Because you have the right to have a Secretary of Defense whose views are better aligned with yours … I believe it is right for me to step down from my position,” Mattis wrote.
The establishment reacted with maximum panic, using words like ‘scary’ and ‘frightening’:
Just read Gen. Mattis resignation letter. It makes it abundantly clear that we are headed towards a series of grave policy errors which will endanger our nation,damage our alliances & empower our adversaries. 1/2 pic.twitter.com/ztc0Yihccn
