Yes I know the cliche saying of “every president is war criminal” blah blah blah. But last president atleast were attacked or provoked by recognized threat. Trump has -

  • Tried to coup the US government over election results
  • Sent ICE agents into cities to harass the public
  • Defended ICE killing civilians by labeling victims as “domestic terrorist”
  • Bombed Nigeria on Christmas 2025 (it’s unknown the casualty count), Nigeria did not attack us
  • Illegally invaded Venezuela and kidnapped their leader and his wife, Venezuela did not attack us
  • Is currently starving the country of Cuba with no food, electricity or aid, Cuba did not attack us
  • Is spreading false information about White Genocide in South Africa
  • Killed Iranian Generals in his first term after tearing up Obama’s Iran Peace Deal
  • Bombed a school of little girls in Iran
  • Started a war with Iran, killing their leader, Iran did not attack us
  • Wants to occupy and takeover Greenland, Greenland did not attack us or ask for this
  • Inplements unprofessional and nonsensical tariffs on the Global economy

And so much more. Why dosent social media, traditional media, reddit, lemmy, democrats, ANYBODY ever call this gu ya terrorist. No other president has caused this much global terror in the modern era.

    Not to defend Trump but that’s not true. US has been starting illegal wars of aggression for it’s entire existence.

    The Iraq war was “justified” largely for the same reason the Iran war is being.

    He is, but the 1% like him because he helps them make money. My question is, how do we push this message to people on Facebook without giving Zuck more money?

    He is a global terrorist, the worst we currently have, but since he’s the head of the nation that still thinks there a super power, all we can do is wait for that entire fucking nation to finally crumble or that Cheeto to have an aneurysm, after which that ex-empire will sink like a cake that imploded in the oven

    People do call him out on reddit, lemmy, and other social media. As for bigger names, it’s not just a matter of what’s true, but what the practical consequences would be.

    Because Trump is so petty and vindictive, people tend to not want to say things that will tick him off. Foreign leaders might be of the mindset of “weathering the storm” in the hopes he’s replaced by someone better, while domestic media outlets risk being cut out of press briefings if they say anything critical of him.

    As for the Democrats, they have all kinds of screwed up priorities. They’re constantly trying to appeal to the “center” and be accommodating to a fault. The right has criticized them for “promoting violence” when they do call someone a fascist or similar. They’re all about bipartisanship and you can’t really do that while calling the other side terrorists, regardless of the actual truth.

    This is all because he is the president of US and US citizens are dickheads for electing him and actually like his show. They dont care if some girls died or a country goes without food, that is why there is so much gun violence. They love violence and like to sing praisen of capitalism and democracy, even tho it is hurting them more but their pride wont acceot that.

      Tbh, what really made me make this post was just the thought of those little girls getting instantly killed by tomahawk missles completely unprovoked, funded by my tax dollars from a president who hates people like me anyways.

    We hold a seat on the security council which is essentially for the duration of the organization. It represents, or at least did, the largest, most influential countries in the world during much of the cold war. Russia’s kleptocracy has diminished its strength considerably and Ukraine is bogging them down so badly it’s ruin an already fragile economy.

    France and the UK have diminished in scope now but the ratification in 1945 gave them the seats.

    The USA is losing its softer powers which were usually economic control because we have the insane asylum patients at the wheel who understand geo-politics as well as a five year old quantum physics.

    China is probably the only one whose gaining more power as others waver but that’s not to say they aren’t in some strained shape as well. China is second behind Japan for holding US Debt followed closely by the UK. The next country behind that is Luxembourg at roughly 40% of the UK. If the USA becomes heavily insolvent, which we’re heading because of run away austerity, those countries are not going to be in a good position for long.

    With all that, they’re highly reluctant to consider the USA president a terrorist threat or more correctly a rogue national leader. It’d be a game of chicken where all parties would lose essentially.

      They had their positions before the cold war started, as they are the “winners” of ww2 (despite Paris was occupied by the nazis).

    A terrorist is someone who uses violence to change government policy, if you are the government then by definition you can’t be a domestic terrorist.

    The correct charge is treason, but I imagine getting a conviction for that would be difficult? I’m not familiar with the American legal system. The last time England charged a head of state with treason it was because he started two civil wars.

    When did we say he wasn’t? Just because his camp isn’t speaking the obvious doesn’t mean it isn’t abundantly true. I’ll never understand how human shit piles seem to live forever, while death creeps up on the few remaining decent people in the world. Guy I work with who would literally go out of his way to help ANYONE with ANYTHING. Even helped me swap my car’s alternator in the work parking lot one afternoon (we work in IT). Lived with cancer for 9 years, died last month at 59. Meanwhile, the Pedo Party 70+ crowd dismantles the world, laughing all the way to the bank, raping kids.

      I’ve always been anti-fascist. Now, according to President Lumpy DicknBalls, I’m a terrorist because I’m not a fascist.

      Unpopular opinion (or fuck, maybe popular), permanent reassignment of the term “retard” to MAGA republicans. Get on it Marian-Webster.

    He’s not a terrorist, doesnt match the definition. You may notice a lot of comparisons to hitler though. Trump is a better match for a despot
