I can understand why you would think that and I agree that I'm not providing much factual information to work with. I'm not really trying to win an argument here. I was attempting to suggest that relying purely on one data set without considering the wider political and social context is a poor way to form an opinion.

I have a hard time clearly communicating my thoughts and tone via text, but please believe that I mean no disrespect. That being said, bringing up Obama's numbers in a discussion about Trump is quite literally excusing Trump's attempted atrocities because someone else was "worse" in your chosen metric. My position is that numbers don't always tell the whole story.
