Is Trump making the same mistake as past presidents have by declaring victory too early over ISIS?

It's just his latest act of desperation , preferable I suppose to launching a nuke.
Nukes, you say? My money is on Kim to let the first one fly, and if not the N. Koreans, then the Iranians. They're both feverishly working on becoming a major world power with nuclear arsenals to back them up, and we can only hope their bluster is nothing more than that, because when one is launched, retaliatory strikes are a given. @RodionRomanovitch

@soar2newhighs The Iranians haven’t resumed their nuclear program despite our withdrawal from the deal. I think “feverishly” is the wrong way to put it.

Besides, I don’t see a first strike in the cards for either of those nations. Nothing to gain, everything to lose.
I agree-and not necessarily touting the man, but I tend to believe that both NK and Iran's military leaders have some serious reservations about their actions while Trump is President. Though I will concede the fact that despite the "summit", Kim played Trump like Yo-Yo Ma plays his cello....flawlessly.@QuixoticSoul
