I couldn’t be more with you on this.
Taking foreign policy as one aspect of an administration and equating the entire administration based on this is the result of coming up with a conclusion, and then finding a narrative to support that conclusion.
Yes, Obama increased drone strikes. Yes, Syria destabilized. Yes, most presidents prior to taking office preach a non-interventional approach, because that’s a popular soundbite, and once in office, likely are presented with the intelligence communities facts that make this increasingly difficult to implement.
However, there are specifics, such as specifically singling out the trans community in the Military that Trump has purposefully targeted, that you cannot compare to Obama.
And, there is Mike Pence, who openly supports anti-LGBTQ policy, and cannot take a meeting alone with a woman.
There are fundamental differences between the two administrations that impact citizens here directly.
So, to the author — until you can tell me that the two administrations are in the same stratosphere in terms of treatment and rights of citizens at home, then take your cherry-picked foreign policy as a testament to moral code elsewhere.
