Saddam was killing Iranians for the US over the escape they pulled in 1979. Trump has been in office how long?? You can put all the civilian deaths since Jan.20 in Syrian and Iraq, especially around Mosul.
If you don't read about it in the western media it didn't happen right???

By using Trump alone you dismiss the 500,000 children that the US sanctions ended up killing. 'We think it was worth it.' was the amount of grief felt fot that many children. You can fall from that position as you are already at rock bottom in the morality dept.

“A lot more civilians are dying”




U.S. airstrikes have killed more and more civilians in Iraq and Syria since Trump took office
While on the campaign trail in late 2015, Donald Trump pledged to “bomb the shit” out of ISIS if he became president. Now, a couple of months after he took office, reports of civilian deaths from U.S. strikes in Syria and Iraq have hit an all-time high. Why exactly that is, however, remains unclear.
According to Airwars, a British monitoring group, alleged civilian casualties linked to U.S. strikes in Syria and Iraq have soared to 1,472 so far this month. In March of last year, 196 civilians were reported killed. The previous all-time high was 613 in January.
“This is worse than anything we have ever seen from the coalition, and it’s up there with the levels of allegations we saw against Russia a year ago,” said Chris Woods, the investigative journalist who heads Airwars. “Something is shifting — a lot more civilians are dying, and it’s happening on Donald Trump’s watch.”
The dramatic jump in civilian casualties could be the result of a directive from Trump to change risk/reward calculations when determining airstrikes, or it could be due to the war he inherited being at its deadly peak, when fighting against ISIS is taking place in the terrorist group’s stronghold of Mosul, where hundreds of thousands of civilians are trapped.

Trump's anti-ISIS war keeps killing huge numbers of civilians


The Trump administration has a civilian casualties problem.

It’s becoming clear that the Pentagon has a civilian casualties problem. Two recent events make that fairly evident, andit’s showing the problems the anti-ISIS coalition has to keep bystanders off the coroner’s table.
In the midst of Trump’s ramped-up campaign to defeat ISIS, more and more civilians have died in Iraq and Syria. Despite the advanced military techniques of the US-led, anti-ISIS coalition, it still cannot stop killing non-combatants.
Yesterday, the Department of Defense responded to an incident that killed 105 civilians in Mosul, Iraq, back in March when a bomb was dropped on a building with two ISIS snipers — and over a hundred civilians.
On Friday, Al Jazeera reports that more than 106 civilians, including 42 children, died during two days of bombing in Al-Mayadeen, Syria, by the US-led anti-ISIS coalition. The planes fired strikes at buildings that housed families of ISIS fighters.


Under Trump, U.S. Military Has Allegedly Killed Over 1,000 Civilians in Iraq, Syria in March
Under Trump, U.S. Military Has Allegedly Killed Over 1,000 Civilians in Iraq, Syria in March

On the campaign trail, Donald Trump vowed that as president he would “bomb the hell out of ISIS.” Two months into his time as president, the evidence suggests he is doing just that, with increasing airstrikes in Iraq and Syria and stepped-up raids targeting Al-Qaeda in Yemen. But as the airstrikes have soared, so, too, according to reports, has the civilian death toll.
U.S.-led coalition airstrikes in Iraq and Syria may have already killed 1,484 civilians in just Iraq and Syria this month alone, more than three times the number killed in President Barack Obama’s final full month in office, according to British monitoring group Airwars. For the first time, the number of alleged civilian casualties in events carried out by the U.S.-led coalition has exceeded the death toll of attacks launched by Russia.
The U.S. military said Saturday that a U.S.-led coalition strike hit an area in the Islamic-State-held Iraqi city of Mosul where officials on the ground said around 200 civilians may have been killed. Those figures would make it one of the deadliest-to-citizens U.S.-led bombings in 25 years.

Past month
Air strikes carried out by the US and its coalition partners in Syria have killed the highest number of civilians on record since the bombing campaign began, a war monitor has said.
A total of 225 civilians, including 36 women and 44 children, were killed in the period between 23 April to 23 May, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The toll is the highest number of recorded deaths since the international air campaign against Isis began in September 2014.

He only listens to what he WANTS to hear or what flatters him...Don't forget he is like a kid with attention deficit syndrome...... and changes his view depending on his twitter day. ;-)

(seems only a die hard trump follower can fully understand & tolerate his incoherence.

Here's an example of what's happening in the 2nd hunderd (sic) days.
Georgia sees huge drop in food stamp usage
So people being cut off welfare is your solution?? The Gestapo sure could have used you in the last world war.

Where is the headline about all the new jobs, that is bigger news that welfare?

These are seasonal jobs that tie into agriculture and construction, they get laid off in the fall, will there be an update?? Don't bet the farm on it.
Georgia jobless rate dips to 5.1 percent, finally hitting 2007 level

So , please inform us of the sources that YOU consider to be sources of REAL and FACTUAL: news. Thx.

Seems that PBS, BBC and CTV all;have high c credibility , CNN has it's own style and presentation and use a debate/discussion format which leads to more opinions . But branding them fake news is a stretch.

Seems that the Twitter sphere (and other social media ) is rampid with "fake news". Social media is not the most credible or factual news sours.

But I digress. ;-)

The only verifiable FAKE NEWS comes via Trump's tweets. and that fake news changes with his mood and inclination. No credibility .It is evident that to his supporters credibility , ethics and standards are not important.Nor is sound and reasoned good judgement ....... but it is what it is.

Does this correlate with reduced unemployment?? IF so......then it is a good thing. What were the factors that reduced the unemployment??????

I see you posted your favorite FAKE NEWS sites. No wonder you are so gullible... you get all of your news from alt-left sources.

Please answer the question. Thx. Or is FAKE NEWS now hard to separate from real and factual news.in your mind??

If you do a serious comparison as t news quality or just biased talking points........ there is a big difference between the nations I mentioned.

What is really interesting is how the US is so divided and prone to pigeon hole people into categories while ignoring the basic fact that all are human. and yes , have different views but only fanatics defend their views to the degree ween now. Why is this divisiveness fostered to the degree that it is. Why does Trump only address his supporters and is only concerned about winning.......when he is the leader for the entire nation??You live in the US and have a U.S.perspective on this. Thx.

FOX or CNN would be my guess, if he even looks it up, wishful thinking is his main tool.
LOL. ;-)

Trump is prez of the U.S. = FAKE NEWS =Wishful thinking. ;-) (sigh)


Seems that t Trump is bothered by Muller (sp) and is probably looking for ways to fire him too. Obstruction of justice & abuse of power comes to mind.

Which family member will be appoint as director of the FBI after Muller gets the sack? Who's not already doing something? Melania?

Baron has a few months before school starts. Might as well get the same training Putin has, the America may stand a chance.

I wonder if the kid who was told by Trump that he was a superhero has reevaluated Trump's answer?

I wonder how many hours it was after being sworn in that the Donald folded like a $3 bill.

Trump Shifts View on Nonexistent Russian US Election Meddling
The Big Lie refuses to fade away. Even Trump now believes it’s likely true, tweeting:

“Just out: The Obama Administration knew far in advance of November 8th about election meddling by Russia. Did nothing about it. WHY?”

On Friday, White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Trump believes Russia “probably” interfered in the 2016 election…Maybe some other countries did as well,” adding:

“(O)f course (he’s) concerned about any country or any actor that wants to interfere in elections.”


That really is so fuking funny because the Israeli PM tuned both of them in just before the first debate. You know, the meeting nobody can remember. At least there is no doubt that they are all in t the Rothschild pocket.

It is almost amusing to watch how Trump plays the blame game. Instead of taking that much time and media attention to blame Obama what is he doing about the issue himself.?? Why isn't he announcing an ever so much better plan of action.......and boast about it?? He is so bloody childish. Hard to believe he is 70....... unless THAT is "fake news"

One thing he is very successful at is: blurring fact and fiction and boiling it down to a Twitter sized rage fest.

once again: very immature and HE has the Nuclear codes at his disposal. Not al that comforting for anyone o
on the planet......... including the Americans. If they think he can protect them from HIM........ they might want to reconsider.

Let's hope it never gets to anything as dramatic as that.

What exactly has he achieved since taking office. apart from creating the most chaotic regime in American history??

The Donald got his following because he could instantly reply with something that was honest and on topic, more or less. It isn't like it was working fine and he broke it. Nor is it un-fixable, Iceland is the only example you need. If that revolution is too radical them you are truly in deep shit, without a paddle, . . . not that it would help.
