    No one is defending Obama. I've consistently stated in every comment of mine that he's imperialist. You only brought him up as a strawman. Your argument is that Trump isn't an expansionist, when I've shown you that he's expanded drone strikes, more drone strikes in 2 years than Obama in 8. He's expanded the war in Yemen. His administration backed two coups in Latin America, and lastly he's expanded the military budget substantially. So you can bring Obama up all you want, but Obama being an imperialist does not negate Trump also being an imperialist and expanding its power

      if trump was expanding he wouldn't have faced any resistance waltzing into a second term. why'd he fire bolton? because he was the guy telling him to expand upon imperialism.

      i think you've been on reddit too long if you have to label valid arguments as 'strawmen.' relativity is a valid thing to bring up in any argument.

      he has not expanded the military budget substantially, it's been around 700 billion annually for almost as long as i can remember.

      as s tated, there's plenty of valid reasons to hate trump that you don't have to make shit up. he is the least war hungry president we've had in like 50 years, and probably will be for another 50. if he wasn't, he'd still be in office.
