It was a hard job to top all the pointless republican war blunders of the past, but the orange clown managed to achieve this historical feat. Well done

    I think the death count for the second Iraq war is higher, not to mention being responsible for creating ISIS.

    That is totally fair. Normalizing political assassinations and kidnappings will probably have a big impact in the future also, although I'm not sure what that will be exactly.

    Political assassinations and kidnappings aren't any more normal than they were two years ago; Trump is just more blatant about it. I mean when Western countries overthrow this or that regime, they don't exactly give the old regime flowers. Not that they didn't deserve it, but Saddam Hussein for example was executed after a show trial by American-appointed judges and Gaddafi was killed as a direct consequence of NATO bombings after his Western-backed overthrow.
