      @@Hoppelite Most of what you said is a load of crap. I'll break it down for you.
      "Almost invading Syria? Giving guns and money to Anti-Assad fighters...
      Yes. Assad the tyrant who murders his own people. Most of the Free World supported the Free Syrian Army against Assad. Maybe you like murdering dictators idk.
      "...who went on to become ISIS?""
      Patently false. The Free Syrian Army, along with the Kurds, was the main opposition to ISIS in the region. I'm sure there were a handful of defectors though, heck, even a few white Americans defected and joined ISIS. Also, I'm sure many were left with little options once Trump removed US support for the FSA and the Kurds.
      "Killing thousands of innocent civilians in the Middle East?"
      There's always collateral damage in war, but go look at the figures, civilian deaths in the middle east dropped off dramatically during Obama's presidency. Obama favored precise drone strikes, but he wasn't carpet bombing and artillery barraging entire cities like Bush was. Also, Trump killed more civilians in Syria in his first 9 months than Obama's entire presidency. Go look it up. As far as death in the middle east goes, Obama is sandwiched between two presidents that presided over much more death.
      "Deporting and separating families of illegal immigrants more than any President in American History?"
      Deporting, Yes. Separating Families, No. Separation of Families happen when the parents are taken into criminal custody. It was Obama's Policy (As well as George Bush's before him) to not criminally charge first offenders, or parents with children. Some families were separated yes, but he was deporting most with a warning.
      It was Trump's "No Tolerance" Policy that led to mass family separations. Because he was criminally charging everyone. This flooded the courts and led to an explosion of family separations. Over Trump's presidency the number of detention facilities in America more than doubled. New ones were rushed to be built due to the the dramatic increase.
      Once you criminally charge these people, you have to put them in jail until they face trial, pay for their housing, pay for healthcare while they're incarcerated, pay for public defendants, pay for all the courts and lawyers prosecuting them, in which they are just deported anyway. It's an enormous waste of money for the same result. They could be deported 24x for the same amount of money it costs dragging them through the court system. Which is why most presidents had similar policies.

In Europe people kind of complained a little but mostly complied with the masks because it helped to save lives. I know because I live in Europe. It has been embarrassing to see Americans turn a simple mask into a huge political controversy and constitutional crisis. Americans are so panicked that the First Amendment will evaporate simply because of a mask. Silly, just relax and wear a mask.
