Trump has been hiding the numbers of drone murders. (Hold him accountable too)
President from January 20, 2009 – January 20, 2017. Barack Obama
Over 8 years, how many bombs?
How many dead? In 2015 and 2016 alone, Obama oversaw the military and CIA as the government dropped about 50,000 bombs.
No really, do the math. How many do you think we have murdered?
“Tell me president, tell if you will How many people does a smart bomb kill?”
