I thanked your post, mostly for the corrections on Bush43 and his administration. If it were not for Trump we would still be looking back at that group as the worst and most criminal administration is existence.

Now, to some of the other stuff. so much wrong.

Putting Refugees in cages. - Began under Obama

"Putting refugees in cages" is such an over simplification and bad spin of what happened under the Obama administration. At the time temporary holding locations were established that used the chain link fencing, only because there was not enough space in fed facilities. That was quickly addressed and the practice all but eliminated. At no time did the Obama administration use the inhumane practices that the Trump administration has with the "cages." Just an absolute horrible false equivalency.

Implicitly endorsing chinese concentration camps - FDR built literal concentration camps for Japanese Americans in the 40s

Another horrible contrast and comparison. FDR did what was deemed acceptable at the time, something that over time has obviously changed. It was also a response to an attack on American soil during a world war, but why would context like that matter? I mean, Trump contemporaneously endorsing a practice of subjugation of another nations people, at a time of peace, is clearly the same thing. Because it happened before Trump gets the pass. Amiright?

Turning a blind eye to hit orders against his own citizens - Also occurred under Obama

Yup, this was bad, and Obama got roasted for it. But this was an enemy combatant who was essentially working against the United States and killing other Americans in a military role. Context is much different, wouldn't you say? Obama never took out an America citizen on America soil.

Ordering his own military to take actions against his own citizens - Kent State happened under Nixon

Kent State was the National Guard.

Re-envigorating the death penalty.......- Has happened under literally every Republican president since Reagan

Death penalty is actually a States Rights issue.

Assasinatiing World Leaders to prove a point.- As opposed to when Ghadafi was assassinated by Obama?

Ghadafi was murdered by his own people.

Dropping big bombs on airports because they have a cool name.- How many children's hospitals did he bomb? (Clinton)

Wow. That's an ignorant statement. Full. Stop. Clinton was never involved in active targeting during any of the peace keeping activities. Yes, he gave an approval for engagements, but was not active in the day-to-day targeting or sorties flown. Trump openly bragged about his involvement. Does context matter? I mean, JFC, get a grip with the false equivalencies.

I'm beginning to think that your wardrobe consists predominantly of hoodies, t-shirts, skinny jeans, and Chuck Taylors, all in a common shade of black.
