I was completely wrong about something. I thought that Trump was being less murderous than his predecessor Obama. But, apparently, that's not true. There is a program called The Empire Files which is narrated by Abby Martin. You should watch these videos of hers:

She reports that Trump has ramped up drone strikes and other bombing strikes in Syria, Iraq, and elsewhere, and that he is killing more people, not less. 



Were you aware that the U.S. has a military presence in 70% of the world's nations? I knew it was over 50%, but I didn't realize it was as high as 70%. 

Then, she has a video of Trump referring to ISIS, saying, "You have to take out their families." Families? So, that means deliberately killing women and children, right?

Trump has doubled the number of U.S. troops in Iraq to 9000. And did you know that since he took office, 37 more U.S. soldiers have been killed in Iraq? 

Trump has been even more militarily aggressive than Obama, and the risk of all-out war, with Iran or Russia, has grown. Trump has been very bit as maniacal as his predecessors, and that's saying a lot because they have all been mad-dog killers: Clinton, Bush, and Obama. Of course, Trump has a long way to go before he overtakes George W. Bush, who killed over a million people. 

How did it ever get this insane? And anyone who thinks that Trump has been good for this country - or the world - is completely deluded.
