Yeah his drone bombings are so much more civil.

All told, Trump has ordered 75 drone strikes or raids in non-battlefield settings during his first 74 days in office, according to Micah Zenko, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations.

By Zenko's tally, Obama signed off on 542 such strikes during the eight years — or 2,920 days — he spent in office.

Obama's total works out to about one strike every 5.4 days, the first strikes two coming on January 23, 2009, in Waziristan, Pakistan, and thought to have killed as many as 20 civilians.

In comparison, since Trump took office, he has overseen about one strike a day on average.

Don't worry, Donald's got that covered, too.

In other words the CIA can and does spy on anyone it wants. The fact that Trump got their attention means nothing in itself. Of course he did.

But the fact that our secret police spies on anyone it wants with impunity isn't concerning at all, right?
