      Trump was and still is significantly more mask off then Obama ever was. Obama was the most lukewarm, optically inoffensive, status-quo supporting, capitalist neo-liberal to ever grace the presidency. Trump is substantially more honest in his convictions then anyone before him, for example somehow even managing to usurp Obama’s air strike grand-champion title in half the time.

          That’s why it’s Imperialism lite.

          Do you really think Trump did less imperialism then Obama? Tightening the noose on Cuba, doing nearly triple the air strikes in half the time, killing Solemani, militarily antagonizing Iran in general to provoke a response, sending troops to directly occupy Syrian oil fields and hand them to Exxon Mobile, the list goes on.

          Jesus Christ, they’re both pieces of shit, but one pile is still bigger. Do you think Trump was a better president and less imperialist?
