Turns out that he is not the former but is doing the latter and killing thousands and thousands of civilians in the process.
On Syria, before the election Bomber Trump tweeted Obama dozens of times to get out and stay out of Syria, but at the first opportunity he was given, and while stuffing his face full of chocolate cake, Bomber Trump bombed Syria, killing Syrian civilians and military personnel. He is also building bases in Syria, even though he was not invited into Syria.
On Saudi Arabia, before the election Bomber Trump hinted that he knew Saudi Arabia was complicit in 9/11 and he would release the infamous 28 pages in full. But as with Syria, at the first opportunity he was given he flew to that "cancer on the world" Saudi Arabia, as Judas refers to that medieval country, and sold out to the Saudis, agreeing a massive $350 billion deal, with $50 billion going to just one military-industrial complex corporation Boeing, which drove the Dow Jones Index to record levels, which Trump then used to 'prove' his economic policies were quickly working. Trump is also assisting the Saudis to commit genocide and create a horrific humanitarian crisis in Yemen, flogging the Saudis any weapon they want, providing the Saudis with intelligence and refuelling Saudi bombers in mid-air.
On Afghanistan, before the election he was saying that the USA should get out and stay out of a costly futile war there, but he has decided to reverse the withdrawal that Obama began and is sending thousands more US troops back into Afghanistan.
Over the weekend Judas had a go at former CIA chief John Brennan:
You were the head of a drone program that killed thousands of innocent people, including many children.

Turns out that under Bomber Trump civilians are being bombed to death at an alarming rate. According to Airwars, since Trump became POTUS the number of civilians being reported dead from US bombing has tripled!
And nobody, not even Infopervs, is concerned.
The numbers are shocking — or at least they should be.
2017 was the deadliest year for civilian casualties in Iraq and Syria, with as many as 6,000 people killed in strikes conducted by the U.S.-led coalition, according to the watchdog group Airwars.
That is an increase of more than 200 percent over the previous year.
It is far more if you add in countries like Yemen, Afghanistan, Somalia and many others.
But the subject, considered a stain on President Barack Obama’s legacy even by many of his supporters, has almost dropped off the map.
Obsessed with the seemingly daily updates in the Stormy Daniels story or the impeachment potential of the Russia investigation, the American media is paying even less attention now to a topic it never focused on with much zeal.

But what about the use of drones by Trump?
The article above states:
“The media has unfortunately been so distracted by the chaos of the Trump administration and allegations of the president’s collusion with Russia that it’s neglected to look closely at the things he’s actually doing already,” said Daphne Eviatar, a director of Amnesty International USA.
That includes, she said, “hugely expanding the use of drone and airstrikes, including outside of war zones, and increasing civilian casualties in the process.”
...“Drone strikes are more prevalent than ever before, and we are hearing about it less,” said Stephanie Savell, co-director of the Costs of War project at Brown University.
Part of the reason, she said, is a kind of distorted, post-9/11 flag-waving, combined with a heavy dose of news fatigue.
“We all know there’s stuff going on in the name of fighting terror, but there’s not much interest in the details,” Savell said. “It’s considered unpatriotic to question what’s going on with the military.”
...“As someone whose job it is to, essentially, read every article I can find on the U.S. drone war and the consequences, I can’t help but feel disheartened when some former campaign aide’s public breakdown garners drastically more coverage on the same day as a story about how the U.S. killed 150 civilians after they repeatedly bombed a school in Syria,” said Allegra Harpootlian of ReThink Media, a nonprofit communications organization.
And when you add to all this that Bomber Trump just picked a woman, repeat woman, to run the CIA who loves torture, has used torture and has a warrant for her arrest for torture, then what do we have in Bomber Trump?
A sociopath?
Many commentators have described Trump as unpredictable. But everything that Bomber Trump has done, except the North Korea situation, was entirely predictable: massive tax cuts for the rich and corporations; Syria; Saudi Arabia; Iran; Jerusalem; Palestine; massive increase in Pentagon budget; military increase around China (because of North Korea). It would be an achievement to solve the trouble with North Korea, but to generate panic and fear that North Korea is about to launch an unprovoked first strike on 'Murica is ridiculous. Such an attack would be suicidal, and China would pobably nuke North Korea before America could.
Anyway, to conclude, Bomber Trump's drone policy is worse than that under Brennan.
