Trump surrenders to Putin on Syria
or
Trump Effectively Surrenders Syria to Assad and Russia
pick one
Imagine if we had Hillary in office, american troops would probably be dying in Syria right now and the war would be raging on.
We had no business propping up Islamic militants in Syria. One of Obamas wisest moves was not to send troops to Syria. If only we would have done the same with Iraq and Afghanistan. Syria and Ukraine, these two conflicts alone being deescalated makes Trump as a president more appealing than Hillary.
This conflict will finally be resolved (eventually) because one side knows it doesn't have a strong backing so they are far more likely than ever before to negotiate for a truce. Most people simply don't understand how conflicts work, if both sides are somewhat evenly matched the bloodshed will continue for years, more deaths, more refugees, etc.
Fun fact:

The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have cost U.S. taxpayers nearly $5 trillion so far, and that total could rise even higher in the years to come, according to new calculations released by independent researchers late last week.
