Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : NBC News reported: Speaking to reporters at an event in England, Trump said of Bagram, "We're trying to get it back, by the way.
44% : Around this time four years ago, as Donald Trump watched in frustration as Joe Biden ended the war in Afghanistan -- a goal the Republican had wanted to complete, but didn't -- the then-former president suggested it might be a good idea to send U.S. troops back into the country.
33% : In a written statement, Trump said that if the Taliban didn't return equipment left behind in Afghanistan, the United States should consider going back in "with unequivocal Military force." Oddly enough, he didn't let this go.
33% : But in the meantime, spare a thought for those voters who backed the Republican ticket last year because they saw Trump as the candidate of foreign policy restraint and isolationism.
30% : Around the same time, Trump headlined a rally and told attendees, in reference to Afghanistan, "You know what, we have to go in and we should go in when it's right and we now may have to be forced to go in. ...
27% : " Five years later, however, Trump has launched deadly military strikes on civilian boats in international waters.
23% : Years later, Trump is back in the White House, and he's still talking about going back into Afghanistan.
14% : If you voted for Trump because you expected restraint on foreign policy and the use of military force abroad, I have some awful news for you.
