Crazy that this is considered a controversial statement, given his support for the Saudi-led genocide in Yemen. Nevermind the Libya intervention, responsible for the complete collapse of multiple large cities and the deaths of tens of thousands of civilians.
For some reason liberal whataboutism has bloated all this from the history books. Blue MAGA is a curse on the country.
It's not a controversial statement it just has literally nothing to do with the post.
I can't speak for everyone but the reason I downvoted them was actually the "don't think he's our friend" nobody is saying that right now and sometimes war criminals can say things that are correct, if you can't handle that then that's a you issue
Trump extending and expanding Obama era policies?
And doing it with as much eloquence as a two year old ruling over the sandbox.
The liberal boilerplate response to Trump has always been that he's doing imperialism rudely.
So is Green MAGA. Its across the spectrum.
One crisis at a time, hm?
We solved this crisis already, then blue MAGA fumbled us right back into it. Maybe we fix both this time?
