> I can tell you that what Trump is doing is unequivocally worse than what Obama did.

The point was that Obama established the legal infrastructure to enact this law, and without this legal infrastructure Trump's actions wouldn't be possible to implement.

Sure, Trump is responsible for his policies. Yet, no one can turn a blind eye on the mishap that enabled these mistakes to be made.

Even if a straw ultimately broke the proverbial camel's back, that doesn't eliminate the responsibility of the predecessor who piled heaps of straw on the camel.



I hope you have read the entirety of my comment because I explain why I see things that way.

I did not claim Obama was a saint, but his record on this specific matter is already far better than Trump's.

P.S. the downvotes for the parent comment are unwarranted.
