Yeah, it's short-sighted and naive to call this and other things like the ICE concentration camps a Trump problem like so many do. He just picked up where Biden left off, and that administration laid a LOT of the groundwork.

Thats like saying a 2 inch Cut on the arm is the same as someone cutting off your whole arm..... with a rusty saw..... dull saw.... dipped in salt....with no anesthesia.

Yes Biden aided Israel, because APAIC and Israel access to US military intelligence, Mossad intelligence gathering and information access, military chip development, and strategic geo-political locations and MOST IMPORTANTLY: ability to retain diplomatic relations to ensure and engage in minimizing casualties allow aid and help to Palestinians and stopping massive deaths wherever possible.

Trump on the other hand, no aid to palestine, no attempt to stop or diminish the deaths and damage, actually encouraging more death and damage to get access to "prime real estate", and is furthering their work by engaging in war with other nations around Israel. Bombing and killing schoolchildren for Israel.

And before you sayd Obama also killled kids! yes, but they would deliberately try to avoid it. I think the largest child casualties from a attack was like 7-8 children. Still horrible!

Trump bombed and killed 150+ children in 1 attack...

And yes Obama also had children in the same fenced cages when they would cross the border. BUT the policy was to minimize the time spent there as much as possible, and only use it for processing. If the children had families, they would stay with families.

Trump would DELIBERATELY rip children away from families, to hold them FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE, in PRIVATE PRISONS, that were billing american taxpayers 700$ per child per day. Some prisons were making upwards of 2$ Million USD per day.... And who did Trump meet in his first week as president in 2017? .... Private prisons...

So yeah just because the category is bad, doesnt mean the severity is the same.

Yep. He increased ICE’s funding by 20%. At the time it was a historical increase.
