Anyone who believed he was anti-war, simply wasn't paying attention to what he's been doing. Even during his last run, he pretty much took the guardrails off the military's actions, while removing all pretense of public accountability.

    History just doesn't matter lol, people believe what they want. I still see people spouting lines about how many people Obama killed with drone strikes (which, let me be clear, he did get a lot of innocent people killed), but halfway through Trump's first term the number of strikes had already surpassed Obama's full tenure. Then Trump's administration stopped keeping the tally at all, aka "removing all pretense of public accountability."

    Yet somehow I never see people shitting on Trump for that, only Obama.
