THE FACTS
This is false.
The Islamic State, also known as ISIS, was established in 2004 under a different name, according to the National Counterterrorism Center. It rebounded in 2011 after civil war erupted in Syria and the American military withdrew from Iraq, and it began to control vast amounts of territory in both countries.
The American-led coalition against the extremist group did not begin until 2014. President Barack Obama was the only other American commander in chief to oversee military intervention against the Islamic State.
Mr. Trump has largely stuck with, and taken advantage of, a strategy that Mr. Obama began.
