Anwar al-Awlaki. Most things that I'm seeing about him are that he is the first US citizen targeted by a drone strike but I remember it being a big deal that he was the first US citizen assassinated at all.
Um... Obama isn't the king of drone strikes, the Trump administration surpassed the total number Obama era drone strikes in under two years IIRC.
That’s the most benign description of trump that I’ve read in a while.
You might be thinking of how Obama was the “king of making them safer” because before him they just let it blow up Kids and crap willy-nilly, and he was tired of seeing that stuff so he made them create a less explosive more knife like drone for less casualties.
