This is one of the most oft-repeated claims made by Muslims.
A cursory investigation proves it is false.

The US Army publishes an "Air Power Summary" and it shows that Trump has dropped more bombs than his predecessors. In Afghanistant, more than twenty-thousand plus & there wasn& #39;t even a reduction after the peace treaty with the Taliban in February.
The last monthly Air Power Summary was released in February I believe. Trump has actively taken measures to keep his "wars" in secrecy: he has removed rules to report civilian drone deaths, for example.
Don& #39;t get conned.
And don& #39;t forget, Trump isn& #39;t a "wartime" president.

Does this mean Bush, Obama, etc. are angels and innocent? Never. Not a chance. But Trump& #39;s record is bad - and I have not even gotten to Somalia, his vetoes of US pull-back from Yemen, his total enabling of MBS/MBZ, etc. etc.

Hopefully, this should at least give us all some pause when it comes to the claim that Trump is some anti-war dove. Maybe his predecessors are slightly worse. Someone can research that. But the differences are not substantial b/w them it seems.
