   If you're going to criticize Trump for doing something that MANY of our   
   Democrat Presidents have done, which CAN be argued were illegal, but didn't   
   piss, moan or cry about it, like you do with Trump, we're going to do the same   
   thing with Clinton, Obama and Biden.   
      
   They are still relevant to your whine, since you did NONE while they were   
   doing "illegal" things.   
      
   =====   
      
   During his presidency, Barack Obama expanded the use of drone strikes, which   
   resulted in civilian casualties, including women and children. This   
   controversial aspect of his administration drew significant criticism,   
   especially given that he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize shortly after   
   taking office.   
      
   Overview of Obama's Drone Strikes and CIVILIAN CASUALTIES   
      
   During Barack Obama's presidency, the use of drone strikes significantly. This   
   approach has drawn considerable criticism, particularly regarding CIVILIAN   
   CASUALTIES, including women and children.   
      
   CIVILIAN CASUALTIES from Drone Strikes   
      
   Total Strikes: Obama authorized approximately 542 drone strikes.   
      
   Estimated Deaths: These strikes resulted in an estimated 3,797 deaths,   
   including around 324 CIVILIANS.   
      
   Notable Incidents:   
      
   A drone strike in Yemen killed 16-year-old Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, an American   
   citizen, who was not the intended target.   
      
   Reports indicate that many strikes have hit civilian gatherings, such as   
   weddings, resulting in numerous deaths among women and children.   
      
   Context of the Nobel Peace Prize   
      
   Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009, shortly after taking office,   
   for his efforts in international diplomacy.   
      
   (uhhh... WHAT "efforts"?)   
      
   However, the expansion of the drone program during his presidency has led to a   
   complex legacy, with critics labeling him as a "CHILD KILLER" due to the high   
   number of CIVILIAN CASUALTIES associated with his drone strikes.   
      
   The juxtaposition of receiving a peace prize while overseeing a controversial   
   military strategy has sparked ongoing debates about the ethical implications   
   of drone warfare and its impact on civilian populations.

   "Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition   
      
   All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.   
      
   "Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has   
   been driven effectively insane due to their dislike of Donald Trump, to the   
   point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."   
      
   Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the   
   Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into three distinct phases or   
   stages:   
      
   "In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The   
   president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, as if 140 characters were   
   all it took to change the world."   
      
   "The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's   
   vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting solely of   
   hyperbole."   
      
   "As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from   
   reality."   
      
   The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk   
   opposition from liberals to anything and everything Trump does. If Trump   
   announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would   
   suggest he was up to something nefarious, according to the logic of TDS.   
   There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be   
   received positively by TDSers.   
      
   The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early   
   2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a punch line for late-   
   night comics and nothing more.   
      
   Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first   
   coined by the late conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer back in 2003.   
   The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in   
   otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay -   
   the very existence of George W. Bush."
