Hopefully he keeps protecting the Kurds, as we have been...
Trump has sold out Kurds before:

apnews.com - Trump defends decision to abandon Kurdish allies in Syria - AP, Oct. 8, 2019
|------- Trump declared U.S. troops would step aside for an expected Turkish attack on the Kurds, who have fought alongside Americans for years... Even Trump's staunchest Republican congressional allies expressed outrage at the prospect of abandoning Syrian Kurds who had fought the Islamic State group with American arms and advice.

As for the rest, let the people of Syria develop their own government as they see fit...
Not possible under califate, or narco-terrorist regimes - see Taliban, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad etc.

Another issue is that Syria has chemical WMDs, which Assad has used on Syrians, and some time ago has been developing nuclear bomb, with the help of North Korea.
IDF took care of Syria's nuclear weapons program before, and is trying to deactivate chemical weapons factories and storage now:
|------- IDF conducted a series of raids around Damascus, targeting advanced weapons systems and warehouses before they fall into the hands of HST rebels who have ended the Assad regime. IAF bombed a chemical weapons storage facility and a chemical weapons factory belonging to the regime of Bashar Assad to prevent the rebels from seizing them. IDF deployed tanks and infantry to the Golan Heights to prevent an incursion by Syrian rebel forces. The military also stated it would not get involved in any internal occurrences in Syria, provided that no forces in Syria endanger Israeli security.
Israel's position has always been to avoid direct conflict with Syria, but not to permit developments regarding advanced weapons, and it has carried out thousands of air strikes within Syria since civil war started. These attacks intensified in recent months after the IDF decapitated much of Hezbollah's leadership and started to also eliminate significant Hezbollah and Iranian interests in Syria.
