Blood shed is inevitable .
This is from a President who has made a political career of lambasting Obama and yet follows and walks in his steps and shadow

The problem and genocide long predates Trump.
And will continue to get worse as long as we allow "Right of Conquest" to apply and countries to over-run their borders and annex other lands.
