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.

    And there you are. What you’re now doing for Obama, Bush and Biden the establishment is willing to do for Trump. Either they’re all terrorists or none are. For the record I believe “terrorist” as a label does more harm than good; I prefer terms like “fascist,” “imperialist” and “war criminal,” but also half the things you just listed have nothing to do with terrorism and the other half has clear equivalents for past presidents.

    No other president has caused this much global terror in the modern era.

    Uh… ever heard of the War on Terror?

    Now to answer your question, the reason Trump is (mostly, some people are doing so) not being called a terrorist is that “terrorist” is actually a pretty mild label in the grand scheme of things; other labels (again, like “fascist,” “imperialist” and “war criminal”) better reflect the sheer depth and breadth of the depravity. Also some definitions of terrorism explicitly restrict it to non-state actors.
