Reminder that Trump was a hard-line interventionist who literally bombed civilians his first day in office and carried out more drone strikes than every president before him put together. The guy hired John Fucking Bolton to run national security. His white house was filled with Bush-era neocon monsters. The fact that he occasionally said "no more war" in a speech doesn't mean fuck all.

Shit on Biden all you want because he's a piece of shit, but don't cape for fascists in the process.

    That last part is key. The question is not whether Trump increased drone strikes over the previous administration, but whether that increase was more or less than it would've been under Clinton. It's impossible to determine that conclusively, but I don't think it's unreasonable to believe Clinton would have ramped up drone warfare more than Trump.
