Donald Trump ran for the Presidency as a person against the use of military force, and perceived as an isolationist.
Certainly, he has shown evidence of not caring about international aliances, including NATO but also Asian alliances.
He has shown doubts about backing Ukraine in its war with Russia.
There are strong doubts about his willingness to defend Taiwan against China, if war broke out.
But at the same time, as CNN has reported, he has managed to threaten 15 countries, and to bomb 7 of those nations, making him an aggressor against one of 13 countries, one of 11 people, 5 countries in the Middle East, 4 continents (North America, South America, Asia, Africa), and 5 targets for American imperialism (Canada, Cuba, Greenland, Panama for its Canal, and Venezeula).
Trump has already bombed the following nations: Iran, Iraq, Nigeria, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela, and Yemen, and his government has unleashed strikes on alleged drug trafficking boats in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean, killing more than 200 people in about 60 incidents, without any proof of such activities.
Trump has also threatened attacks on seven nations in this term—Canada, Colombia, Cuba, Greenland, Mexico, Panama for its Canal, and Oman (Middle East nation).
Trump has utilized loose rhetoric, demonstrating how unstable and dangerous he is, and no one willing to step in, as in Trump’s first term, to tame his moments of temper and reckless emotionalism.
So Trump has made America an international aggressor, ready and willing to compete with Russia and China, and ignore international diplomacy and rational behavior.
Every day he remains in the White House, ranting and raving crazily on Truth Social, the nation and the world are in dire danger that Trump might utilize nuclear weapons, a horrifying nightmare!
