Donald Trump campaigned on wanting the United States to commit more war crimes before he was elected president.

He didn’t understand why the United States didn’t take the natural resources, namely oil, from the countries we invaded. The United States hasn’t done that because it’s a war crime.

Trump wanted the United States military to attack the family members of terrorists to get them to capitulate. This is a war crime.

The national media barely mentioned these statements. Republicans largely dodged addressing them. The Republican candidate for president was openly advocating for the United States to carry out war crimes and it did not warrant front page headlines.

During his first term, Donald Trump pardoned multiple war criminals, including Clint Lorance, convicted of murdering Afghani civilians, and Eddie Gallagher. While Gallagher’s only conviction was for posing with the corpse of an Afghani and sending the pictures to friends, Gallagher murdered multiple Afghani civilians and bragged about it, including the killing of a young girl. Trump pardoned them at the behest of Pete Hegseth, now in charge of the United States military.

Given Trump’s thirst for war crimes and his pardons for some of the worst criminals in US military history, it’s not shocking to learn what he ultimately wants to do is commit genocide.

A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran! - Donald Trump, Truth Social post

The United States president said he was going to wipe out the Iranian civilization. This is genocide. Our president called for the genocide of an entire people.

There have been many such moments, but this is another instance where if a Democrat did this, they would have been removed in a bipartisan effort immediately. Had Joe Biden threatened to wipe out the Iranian civilization, the impeachment and removal votes likely would have been unanimous.

But since Donald Trump is a Republican, the consequences are… nothing at all. As always, Republican pundits and elected leaders bent over backwards to defend what the president said. That’s just how he negotiates. It’s the language they understand. I don’t like it but…

Pick your excuse. None of them actually mean anything. The fact is elected Republicans are fine with a Republican president calling for genocide, not because they agree with it, but because he is a Republican. What they have learned from his numerous abuses and crimes (including convictions) these last ten years is to never criticize him else face his wrath.

And so here we are - a madman is in charge of the United States military and started yet another war in the Middle East, after campaigning about never starting another war in the Middle East. He has called for the genocide of an entire civilization. He has said we need to target civilian infrastructure.

Donald Trump keeps calling for more war crimes and he knows he will not face any consequences for it as his own party will never lift a finger to hold him accountable for anything.

Meanwhile, the president has kept up a furious pace of posting AI generated garbage on the social media site he still owns and operates while president. (Remember when Republicans pretended to care about conflicts of interest?)

We’ll jump straight to the worst of them. Donald Trump posted a picture of himself as Jesus.

When asked why he had posted a depiction of himself as a messiah, Trump first said the image “was not depiction” revealing that he has no idea what the word depiction means, but then said this was merely a picture of himself as a doctor. This was a lie. He discussed the image before posting it with Bill Pulte.

People may argue it doesn’t matter if the president is spending hours every day posting AI slop to his own business’s site. Even if you want to ignore the ethics of running his business from the White House, and even if you think is AI generated announcements of things that do not exist like medbeds or fictitious medical emergencies in Greenland, Trump uses his social media site, often exclusively, to announce major policy issues and developments regarding our war in Iran. (Republicans have given up on calling this something other than a war, fully abdicating their role in declaring war.)

And time and time again, those announcements have been lies.

FOUR times so far, multi-million dollar oil trades have been placed moments before Trump announces something about the war, resulting in huge market swings.

Inevitably, those announcements get proven false and the market resets, however someone with knowledge of what Donald Trump is about to say keeps making millions of dollars using that inside knowledge.

Our president is wholly incompetent. He has entered us into a war he had no legal authority to start. He has called for the genocide of an entire nation. He posted an image of himself as Jesus. Someone with knowledge of what he is going to post about the war is making millions of dollars off of it. His sons are bragging about receiving military contracts. He is corrupt. He is mad. He is evil.

Republicans in Congress can stop this at any time. They choose not to.

I have no hope of them doing the right thing, but I firmly believe the primary issue for this fall’s elections is the removal of Donald Trump from office.

The United States and the rest of the world do not deserve what Donald Trump is inflicting upon all of us.
