The point is Trump is fine with using military force overseas.
Well I don't even think you can be a U.S. president right now and not be fine with it, as in, are willing to do it. I'm talking about being
relatively peaceful versus relatively warlike. They are
all warlike compared to, say, Canada.
Nor am I inclined to give him much credit for being better than Bush and Obama. You might as well compare him to FDR and Truman (going to WW2 because I can't remember the first 2 Vietnam presidents).
If what you mean is that Obama and Bush 43 are bad examples because they were involved in outrageous amounts of military actions, then maybe I agree. I am not really saying that Trump is a dove absolutely speaking, but strictly compared to the last two admins. That is indeed a low bar to surpass, in fairness.
Is the standard that he's a dove because he didn't start shooting any new groups of people?
It's not really a standard, just that of all epithets to define Trump's presidency the use of foreign force is surely not a plausible part of the list. But hey, yeah, not starting shooting wars with a bunch of people is definitely good
