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.
