In three weeks, Donald Trump has imploded whatever positive image the United States might have had internationally.

If you wanna get mad at Obama, he campaigned on closing Gitmo, but did nothing while in office. You know, that same facility Trump is currently using to detain people.

    Congress blocked him on straight closure but they went from 250 to 41 detained there under his administration. Trump stopped all closure progress, Biden got the number down to 15, and now we have Trump again.

    "Did nothing" is worse than exaggeration, it's not like you have to lie to make Obama look like the massive disappointment he was for progressives.
