Trump has steep hill to out bomb Obama

Trump hates being the biggest loser. But when it comes to bombing innocents, his predecessor set the benchmark last year - 26,200 bombs - that will be tough to match, even for one as competitive as The Donald. But if his first 90 of 1,461 presidential days are any indication (assuming no impeachment), Trump will surely prevail. He's upped the drone strike ratio of one every 5.4 days under Obama, to one every day and a half. That's in addition all those senseless plane strikes in Iraq, Syria and other countries that are killing women and babies with military precision. Within a week of getting his License To Kill, Trump ordered a senseless special ops action in Yemen that killed 30 innocents as well a hapless member of the canon fodder brigade, charging into senseless, criminal battle at the command of a sociopath. Not satisfied with small time slaughter, Trump unleashed MOAB (Mother of All Bombs) on some 36 Afghan souls in the path of our 22,000 lb people killer, that no doubt gave Trump extreme pleasure, as well as higher ratings from a bloodthirsty public. But wait, the Killer In Chief was not done yet. He's threatening to bomb North Korea, a peanut power posing no threat to Uncle Sam and who could easily be contained by South Korea if we'd simply remove our 30,000 occupiers and tell the South to use some of their fabulous wealth to defend themselves instead of being our puppet. 

We'd best not think we're immune to the carnage Trump is unleashing far from our shores. He's no doubt inspiring home grown lone wolf attacks in what is accurately described as 'blowback'. And Trumps virulent war mongering surely puts all of at risk to wider war, even nuclear confrontation with Russia over our belligerence in Ukraine and Syria. In the end Trump may surely be the biggest winner in killing innocents; but the whole world will be the biggest loser.
