Trump continued (and even increased) the drone killings, but removed the reporting requirements. Calling it the "Obama-era drone killings" ignores the unprecedented amount of killings under the previous administration.

I call it Obama-era because the guy got a Nobel Peace Prize while doing that. I have a even lower opinion of Trump, but at least he was widely despised by the international community, unlike the former

Furthermore. The Obama admin added transparency and accountability measures while the Trump admin ditched them.

Hence the reason they are still the Obama drone strikes. Out of sight out of mind.

I'm sure it will be great solace to the families of those murdered by America that the Americans are proud to talk about it again
