4 - his apology tours
I haven't paid attention to a lot of the things he's done, but I didn't have a problem with him essentially apologizing for Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

I do. Even putting aside the fact that we didn't start that war, the fire raids were deadlier than those attacks and one need look no further than Okinawa to see what a conventional invasion of mainland Japan would have been like. Those attacks demonstrated and ability to utterly eradicate the entire nation and couldn't be denied - and even then some Japanese still wanted to fight.
Those bombs ended the war in the fastest way possible with the least loss of life for both sides. An apology is essentially saying sorry we chose this route instead of using rifles and high explosives to kill a lot more of your people.

Don't start shite you can't finish. Japan started it, we finished it.

Which never happened. Even the psychos on the poliboard were foaming at the mouth waiting for him to essentially apologize for the nukes but slowly backed out of the room when he didn't. Never seen a group of people so disappointed that the president didn't do something that would have pissed them off.
