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.

    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

    He is, but everybody’s too scared to start shit because he has no concept of de-escalation, only escalation.

    Doing so might start a dialog with respect to the US two party system he hijacked. The system leaves us vulnerable to demagogues (in addition to limiting common input to governance.)

    Well, usually it’s the USA who points fingers and call others terrorists. They have exceptions, though, notably Israel. What I’m saying is that’s their move, other countries do it scarcely, mostly when it’s true.

    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.

    the one controlling trump is a greater threat but he funds enough propaganda and right wing governments to insulate himself. trump is a mere tool, and by chance the manosphere plays into this as well, you need sexually frustrated right wing men otherwise your power collapses without them.

    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.

    I mean, people do, although terrorist isn’t a super accurate label for him. Terrorist implies using violence to create terror for a political gain. Trump generally is more acting out of sheer stupidity and malice rather than for any deeper political agenda. Terms like violent madman, fascist, war criminal, murderer or wannabe dictator are more accurate.

    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?

    We actually do all the time. He’s the president of the most powerful and wealthy nation on earth. Most presidents cannot contradict him even though they all think he is an idiot.
