Talar vi generellt så menar jag att Trumps administration har beordrat flest drönarattacker i mellanöstern och fällt flest antal bomber.
Trump godkände den största Pentagon budgetökningen i historien. Militärindustrin har aldrig beställt och smällt av så många bomber som under Trump.
Något jag själv lärt mig nyligen är att Pentagon släppte den mest kraftfulla (icke-vätgas)bomben i USA:s historia över Mamanddalen i Afghanistan. Denna har smeknamnet MOAB
21,600lb (9,800kg) och motsvarar 4st hiroshima atombomber.

Six months into Trump’s presidency, we now have enough data to assess his own approach. The results are clear: Judging from Trump’s embrace of the use of air power — the signature tactic of U.S. military intervention — he is the most hawkish president in modern history. Under Trump, the United States has dropped about 20,650 bombs through July 31, or 80 percent the number dropped under Obama for the entirety of 2016. At this rate, Trump will exceed Obama’s last-year total by Labor Day.
In Iraq and Syria, data shows that the United States is dropping bombs at unprecedented levels. In July, the coalition to defeat the Islamic State (read: the United States) dropped 4,313 bombs, 77 percent more than it dropped last July. In June, the number was 4,848 — 1,600 more bombs than were dropped in any one month under President Barack Obama since the anti-ISIS campaign started three years ago.
In Afghanistan, the number of weapons released has also shot up since Trump took office. April saw more bombs dropped in the country since the height of Obama’s troop surge in 2012. That was also the month that the United States bombed Afghanistan’s Mamand Valley with the largest non-nuclear bomb ever dropped in combat.
