Dude, Obama ordered more drone strikes than any president before him. Just because he was a good speaker and charismatic doesn't make him a good person.

How many drone strikes did Truman order? How about Garfield? Maybe a metric of "Everyone who came before" isn't very good for technological advancements like that.

I don't remember how many trump order, but trump did so many shitty things that I don't have to point out drone strikes as a bad thing he did. Dude is a horrible person in general.

Note the maybe, but whatever. Tell you what. Name one post-carter president who was better than Carter. Dude doesn’t have to be good, just better than Carter.
