Still, it is only fair to note that by running in 2016 on his own critique of US military policy - and of Bush himself, for the Iraq War - Trump helped make possible the Afghan withdrawal that Joe Biden is putting center stage to mark the 20th anniversary of September 11 and to take credit for ending the "forever war." In other ways, though, Ackerman and Greenberg argue, Trump's tenure did not augur the end of the War of Terror so much as its return home. Meanwhile, some Trump supporters moved to protect his nativist racism from the very national security state they once demanded, as the neoconservatives and national security functionaries bolted from Trump and were seen to be using their "deep state" powers to hem in and undermine the president. Although the haze of gratitude that Obama enjoyed for not being Bush took a long time to dissipate - and then returned once the identity of his successor became known - both Ackerman and Greenberg show that Obama chose forthrightly to make the War on Terror permanent.
