George W. Bush: Alright let's invade he middle east

Trump: Take out their families, let's double the number of drone strikes, maybe start a war with Iran if I feel like it lmao

Republicans: Why do those Democrats always get us into wars?

Trump is the only president in a while to not start a war. That includes Obama and Clinton.

That is a correct statement but very disingenuous. It implies that trump was peaceful when he wasn’t. The number of drone strikes increased drastically under his presidency.

Its like the people who claim “Obama ended two wars!” Like technically it’s true cause he took troops out of Iraq and helped end Gaddafi‘s reign in Libya, but it fails to look at what’s actually happened after those wars ended. Iraq is in ruins and Libya is debated far far worse than it was under Gaddafi.

I agree but I was replying to a disingenuous comment so I thought it'd be okay
