I cringe to ask what you would list as Trump accomplishments.

Haha, just stop man. 300,000 is a skewed number. The largest ever exercise involved around 250,000 but 3/4s of that number were Sk logistics coordinators/planners trying to figure out sheltering and movement of civilians. It was an epic fail as the civilians didn’t want to be bothered. The other 20,000 were air and support assets with a few thousand joint amphibious/SF In total only 10,000 or so were US. 

The US fluctuates between 35-55,000 personnel in Sk. The ROK forces total just about 700,000 with many being reserves. These exercises while huge media are minor and mean very little to classified U.S. Operational Plans (OPLANS) and execution. NK would suffer overwhelming force the likes of which have never been witnessed and the bulk is fluid, part of Pacific Boomer fleet and/or not from the ROK AOR. 

Here are a just few term you can google so you can see what the US does on our own that isn’t media hyped...

BEVERLY BEARCAT exercise
BEVERLY SUNRISE exercise
BEVERLY PACK
Aircraft Elephant Walk
COBRA GOLD
