No need to say anything else since it's all in the title.

As I have said elsewhere you can't justify one country wrong doing by pointing out another's.

for such a pathological liar he certainly is amazingly clueless about when it is actually appropriate to be economical with the truth.

It seems that Trump nailed it. People ignore all of the wrongs we have done and are doing while claiming that we are special. History shows otherwise. We just have the best propaganda. But it does look bad when the President doesn't sell the propaganda like he's supposed to do.

If that's the case Barack wasn't very good at it. The fact that Mitch McConnell still exist on this planet tells me we aren't the same.

I agree with the message that we're not innocent, but it sounds hypocritical coming from him. One of the most recent evils we've committed is torture at Gitmo, but he's actually pro torture.

It's not really that what Trump said was wrong, it's just that he said that, and Presidents aren't suppose to say that. I feel it's better to be honest, it was an honest statement, but it also doesn't mean the violent actions from either country should be ok.

Maybe this country has killed American citizens that are Jihadi's instead of giving them a trial. (drones)But to my knowledge our politicians don't kill political opponents to protect their grasp on power.
Credit to Chad for bringing up Trump's statements on torture. That orange buffoon has said he'd do worse than waterboarding. Japanese generals were hung for waterboarding American soldiers after World War II. Let's not go back to pre Geneva Convention days.
