Obama did a lot of shitty things and is still widely adored, whereas most of the population will readily admit Trump is a piece of shit.

As I was filing my taxes, I was just thinking about the video someone posted here recently where military weapons were firing and it was racking up huge sums as shots were fired. All the US citizens on Lemmy paying taxes amounts to a few air to air missiles.
I thought it was a stereogram, but alas nothing popped out at me.

I wouldn’t put it past the US government to pull some shenanigans, and I certainly wouldn’t rule out the possibility that some aspect of it was a lie. That being said, I have yet to see any evidence that it was faked that isn’t simply a misunderstanding of the science.
