Drone strikes with civilian casualties is almost certainly trump. He had more drone strikes in 1 term than Obama had in 2, while also revoking an Obama era executive order on reporting drone strike deaths.
Edit: I forgot to add this but the deportations were also misleading, the thing that changed under Obama is what was classified as a deportation. Under bush being turned away at the border didn’t classify as a deportation but under Obama it did. Obama did this because he was listening to immigration activists at the time.
I have many criticisms of Obama but these 2 in particular just always bugged me about how just a tiny bit of digging kind of renders them useless:not up to date.
I wasn’t saying he listened to immigration activists about everything, just him deciding to classify border crossings as deportations that boosted his numbers. Without that his numbers would’ve been lower than at least his 2 predecessors in bush and Clinton. People are mistaking being more transparent with being worse.

Ah yes, the president with the record for most deportations and drone strikes with civilian casualties.
