It matters what you hit, not how much. Note how you didn't have any specific events of Trump hitting civilians to cite. https://www.hrw.org/report/2014/02/19/

  It does, indeed. https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-afghanistan-airstrikes-increased-civilian-deaths-by-330-since-2016-2020-12 https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-afghanistan-airstrikes... > Civilian deaths skyrocketed in Afghanistan under President Donald Trump, whose administration relaxed the rules of engagement for airstrikes in 2017, according to a new study from the Costs of War Project at Brown University. > Airstrikes killed 700 civilians in Afghanistan in 2019 alone, more than any other year since the early days of the war in 2002, according to the study. "There were more weapons dropped from the air in 2018 and 2019 than at the height of US presence in Afghanistan in 2011," the report stated.

      So by "It matters what you hit, not how much" you actually meant "it matters how publicly covered by the American media (which I also call 'fake news' when they do)", not "it matters what you hit"? I'm sure the thousands of civilians killed by Trump's strikes are grateful they didn't make the New York Times.
