Where is this data? Is it even possible for us civilians to know? I've found some metrics indicating increased drone usage under Trump, but even if that's true, it's to be expected given this is the modern military weapon.
Death totals seem generally centered around Obama's tenure, since that's when it became a concern. I can find some partial yearly data, but would need to dig further into them...it's a circuitous route either way.
Obama killed a lot, that's obvious and uncontested here. Trump killed some as well. How many were collateral damage, who knows?
It doesn't help that he revoked the 2016 EO on civilians killed in strikes outside of war zones. Obama might have been sly in his timing, but forgive me if I'd rather have the bits of transparency from the CIA that we can get, even if it's politically motivated.
