A false equivalency! While the US has, indeed, killed US citizens overseas under the former President's tenure who were in open rebellion and taking up arms against the US, does that put Lincoln into the same category as Putin for the deaths of over 300,000 Confederates trying to do the very same thing?Chilling legal memo from Obama DOJ justifies assassination of US citizens | Glenn GreenwaldIn defending the murderous thug Putin, Trump says we are murderers & our government does the same stuff that Putin does.
What the fuck is wrong with the steaming pile of crap Trump?
This is a great country where we do not imprison political adversaries, we have the right to speak our mind. And then Trump says this?
I am sure all the Trumpettes will rush in to defend Trump becaude they are too embarrassed to admit they elected a total asshole as President.The Toll Of 5 Years Of Drone Strikes: 2,400 Dead | The Huffington PostChilling legal memo from Obama DOJ justifies assassination of US citizensMaybe what Trump is saying is true. But you libtard never pulled your head out of Uranus and realized what was going on for the last 8 years.The U.S. drone program under President Barack Obama reached its fifth anniversary on Thursday having tallied up an estimated death toll of at least 2,400 people.
As the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, a U.K.-based non-profit, details on its website, five years ago the CIA conducted the first drone strikes of the Obama presidency. Although there were reports of suspected “militants” killed, at least 14 civilians also died that day.

Since the US under both the Bush and Obama administrations conducted various air strikes, manned and unmanned, against combatants warring against the US just like a number of Presidents before them in the last 100 years, 2400 killed over the last five years is a relatively small number including the non-combatants. That is nothing compared with the 146,000 casualties in the Hiroshima bombing in Aug 1945 or the approximate 130,000 that died in the allied fire bombing of Dresden in Feb 1945. That totals to an estimated 276,000 deaths in JUST THREE DAYS COMPARED TO 2400 IN FIVE YEARS.
Protecting the US in time of war is one thing, and killing for political gain or revenge like Putin are not both justifiable or equivalent! Your false equivalency lacks a very basic component...LOGIC!
