    Trump has definitely stepped up drone strikes, but a lot of that is because of the war in Yemen, which the Americans would have supported regardless of who was President. The drone strikes started by Bush and expanded by Obama will expand forever, unless we get an actual anti-imperialist President (lol). That said, Trump hasn't bombed a country back to the Stone Age like Obama did, nor has he entangled the United States in more wars and coup attempts.

        I mean, the Bolivian coup was "successful" in that they took over the government and carried out massacres for around a year or so before getting smoked by MAS in the elections. Operation Gideon was a hilarious failure though, and perhaps the most emblematic event of Trump's foreign policy - he's not any more peaceful on the world stage, but he and his administration really suck at regime change.
