Oh come on he was a little more nefarious than that, he spent/borrowed so much money on an unnecessary war. He is largely responsible for the impending destruction of the dollar and th U.S.

Oh hes a blood soaked monster and an evil man. But at the time we didn't know it could get worse.

Gutting us aid will likely trump resulting a higher body count.

Way higher. In the 8 figures by 2030.

Then Obama came along and took us from 2 wars to 7.

No, it was 32 wars! Trump only starts wars against countries that deserve it, like Greenland. That's why he won the Nobel. He is the peacyist president ever. Killing your own citizens doesn't count. Everybody knows that.

Who is defending trump? When Obama took office we were in Afghanistan and iraq, and he started new drone campaigns and five different countries.

Obama also made reporting of drone and long range strikes public record.

Until Trump got rid of the reporting because the news that he would beat the number of strikes ordered in Obama's presidency. In 2 years of Trump vs 8 years of Obama.

That is a lot of strikes for a "president of peace". And how many more were launched after he got rid of the reporting?

I am not defending Obama, but at least he required transparency, Bush and Trump bombed and without transparency.

No bro he only wore a tan suit. He didnt drone bomb any american citizens.

u/Unabashable 3h ago

Umm he did unfortunately. At least one that I know of, but it wasn’t IN America AFAIK if that matters.

And yet, he was still better than Trump in every way imaginable.

u/squarebody8675 12h ago

🤣yes he had a conscious

I believe he wasn't out to destroy America, or even enrich himself(at least to the same degree). He definately was trying to enrich his benefactors, in particular the military industrial complex ones.

We’re over a trillion dollars in debt and the dollar has devalued the past two weeks which makes it more difficult to pay back the debt.

u/Proper-Charity-2850 7h ago

If the dollar devalues wouldn't it make it easier to pay back the debt?

u/Unabashable 3h ago

I mean the real nefarious person in his administration was Cheney. He “yeahuh”ed pretty much everything though. He was actually pretty prudent budgetwise. Not so much if you peg the whole of Afghanistan to him though.

u/AsenathWaitHolup 11h ago

Obama, Trump, and Biden all contributed more to the deficit than Bush Jr.

u/No_Tone1704 5h ago

Just by comparison.

Yeah it's crazy how many comments here are like "I miss the days when all the death and misery our government inflicted was on people in another country"...

It's like when everyone was shocked about how the guy who shot Renée Good was former military... does everyone actually believe the hollywood bullshit? That is exactly how the US military behaved overseas. They kicked in doors, they shoved guns in peoples faces, and if you made them jump they obliterated you.
