Except we are comparing 8 years of Obama against not even a full year of trump.

Another reason it is not apples to apples comparison is that trump disabled all the transparency reporting that were under Obama, so we know only what they are willing to tell us.

Yeah.

Obama was so transparent he spent his whole presidency trying to get Julian Assange killed.

Also, just in 2016, Obama dropped 20,000 tons of bombs on these countries

The dude loved bloodying his hands, and it's silly to pretend that warmongering isn't bipartisan.

He actually received an award for transparency in a CLOSED meeting. You can't make this shit up. He's not great just because TACO sucks.

Trump had 2,243 drone in his first two years of first term while Obama had 1,878 in entire 8 years.

Not defending Obama, rather curious why you are defending trump. Is it because he is essentially doing Russia and China's bidding?

I'm sorry if I offended your tender sensibilities by lodging a legitimate critique of Obama's warmongering.

But go read my profile before pretending it's anything other than that.

Where did they defend Trump?
