    I just assume that one can’t become POTUS without bloodying their hands. As much as I’m sure Obama is a very nice person, I also know he authorised a couple extrajudicial executions in foreign soil. Also, he probably sanctioned support for a coup in Brazil in 2016. Such things come with the job.
