Its funny how nobody was making this argument when it was Obama ignoring international law to launch drone strikes on weddings and 18 yr old American citizens.

The president has always ignored the law.

Nobody?

Plenty of people were making this argument. The main difference is the previous presidents didn’t fill their cabinet with literal neofascists.

I know leftists were criticizing Obama for drone strikes. If the Republicans weren't criticizing Obama for murdering civilians, it's because they agreed with it. They attacked him on pretty much everything else, after all.

Yes, America has thought itself to be above international law for quite some time. But with Trump, we’re talking national laws… the Constitution.
