I believe President Trump has undertaken a presidential function that could win him a place in history!
He's a maverick as Presidents go. And, he's taken on a real problem plaguing the US since the conclusion of WWII. Eisenhower drew attention to the issue in his farewell address to the nation. He referred to as an unholy alliance of big business and the federal government, viz., the industrial-military complex.
It took till Trump for a President to challenge the existence of this alliance by positing his doctrine of "US first." According to it, if there's no benefit to the US, any proposed project for the country to undertake must yield good results within a set period of time, given the promised governmental resources of the nation dedicated to it.
This doctrine, I think, has been appropriately applied to the continuing war in Afghanistan,which the US is attempting to scale down its involvement to a standard offer of providing assistance for training and consultation to governments facing some immediate crisis.
