How Trump Won the War Against the Islamic State

New York Times' Ross Douthat argues the president deserves much of the credit for the win.

The U.S. victory against the Islamic State has gone practically unnoticed by the foreign policy establishment and the media, writes the New York Times‘ Ross Douthat: “If you had told me in late 2016 that almost a year into the Trump era the caliphate would be all-but-beaten without something far worse happening in the Middle East, I would have been surprised and gratified. So very provisionally, credit belongs where it’s due — to our soldiers and diplomats, yes, but to our president as well.”
