    Trump is the only president in my lifetime that hasn’t started a war

    It's difficult to imagine what definition of"war" would make this true. It also glosses over the vast difference (in destruction and lives lost) between invading Iraq and something like bombing Libya, and seemingly assumes the U.S. is the only aggressor in any given situation.

      The keyword here is started. He has continued prosecuting existing aggressions yes (and any President would), but to my knowledge he hasn't started anything new.

        That's not accurate at all. We bombed Libya and imposed a no-fly zone, but we (officially) didn't put anyone on the ground. At most we might have put a few special forces teams in, but that's reasonable speculation without any real evidence to support it. We certainly didn't come anywhere close to a "full-scale invasion."
