          Who said that? Obama deserves his criticism for the drone strikes (and is the first thing you think about when you think about drone strikes) … and Trump is worse on drone strikes … yet Trump is seen as a peaceful president (until Iran).

          Lol. Calm down Edgelord. They’re simply pointing out conservative hypocrisy that has led to unbelievably differing standards between the two parties.
