Donald Trump made defeating terrorism one of the defining themes of his campaign for president, but his counterterrorism policies in office have been Janus-faced. On one side is actual counterterrorism. These are policies that have evolved under a Trump administration and are sometimes in place despite, rather than because of the president, but which still exist within a traditional counterterrorism paradigm. The other side is faux counterterrorism—policies dressed up as counterterrorism, and which are intended purely to serve Trump’s political purposes.
