to simplify, when your kill count is only at 10% of the previous guys, the military industrial complex isn’t going to get behind you as their guy.

Stop being an apologist for Trump. Just because Obama was an imperialist, it does not mean that Trump wasn’t. Killing tens of thousands of civilians in just 4 years with coup attempt in Venezuela, supporting the coup in Bolivia, to bombing a top Iranian official, etc. It all makes him an imperialist. I’m also not sure where you’re getting the 10% number or how your tallying civilians killed under Obama. But bringing up Obama is a complete non sequitur on your assertion that Trump is in some ways not an imperialist

his death count is lower than his predecessor and he’s pulled troops out consistently. the definition of expanding upon imperialism would be literally doing the direct opposite of what he did.

Obama death count was lower than his predecessor and he also pulled out troops, that doesn’t make Obama not an imperialist. The definition of imperialist would definitely encompass two coups in Latin America and bombing civilians in Iraq, Syria, and Yemen. His death count is lower but he’s only served four years, he could have easily matched Obama’s numbers had he been given 4 more years. You still haven’t given me a source for Obama’s death toll, which I’ll remind you is still irrelevant to the argument
