So much for Trump being a threat to world peace
By Jack Hellner
Every day we hear that President Trump is dangerous and isolationist and that is making the world less safe. They also say that Trump is causing more violence in the United States. Neither is true.
There aren’t many stories reported about terrorism… and I can see why. It just doesn’t fit the agenda that Trump is making the world more dangerous.
Could it be that when President Obama and European leaders caved to Iran, the biggest sponsor of terrorism in the world, and gave the mullahs huge amounts of money, that they were able to cause more deaths, and now that Trump has cut off many of their resources, deaths are way down. What a hard concept to grasp.
Here are the facts:
Terrorism deaths 2008 - The last year before Obama: 15,708.
In 2016 - The last year of Obama’s term: 25,722
In 2017, terrorism deaths were down to 18,753 and for the first half of 2019 they are down to 5,763 or on pace for an annual total of around 11,500, which is a huge decrease.
