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.
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.
