    God it fucking burns him so bad that Obama got one and he didn’t.

    Obama didn’t even deserve a peace prize, the guy did more drone strikes than Bush, but just for the fact that it upsets Trump so much I say they should give him another one.

      Makes me wonder though if Bush wouldn’t’ve used more drones if they were cheaper and readily available earlier in his presidency. At the time, they were still incredibly expensive and unreliable.

      No one in government cares how many collateral deaths there are when drones are used, as long as it reduces the number of Americans returning home in boxes. Keeping the voters happy is always the priority.

      Republicans are so terrible that Obama was given a Nobel peace prize early into his first term just for not being a republican

      My one single satisfaction that I take from Turnip is despite having everything including some otherworldly luck - he will never be satisfied or appreciate any of it. What a sad and pathetic life and the only kind of life a sad fuck like him deserves.

      Of course Obama did more drone strikes than Bush - drones were barely a thing during the Bush years. The technology only became practical, cost effective, and mass produced during Obama’s term.
