One of the more annoying conceits of the MAGA cult is its insistence that Donald Trump is some kind of religious figure dedicated to bringing world peace and mutual understanding among all of humankind. They insist that he’s been cheated out of his well-deserved Nobel Peace prize. That anyone could believe that about the most hostile, aggressively insulting, vengeance-seeking, demagogue this country has ever elected to high office is enough to make you wonder if there are hallucinogens in the water supply.
Setting aside his promises to wreak revenge on his political opponents and round up and deport mass numbers of people, including American children, there is the simple fact that his first term was not without war or death at the hands of the U.S. military, as he and his acolytes so often claim. Despite his promise to end the “forever war” in Afghanistan, it continued under his watch. It was left to President Biden to do the difficult task of ending it and take the heat that Trump was too cowardly to take. And naturally, Trump criticized him for it.
He bombed Syria, carried out assassinations of foreign leaders and massively escalated the drone war, simply removing all accountability and transparency and creating what the ACLU called “a presidents’ unchecked license to kill.” He pardoned war criminals (at the behest of the man he now wants to put in charge of the Department of Defense.) He exhorted the heads of the Defense Department and Department of Homeland Security to shoot protesters and migrants. If this is a man of peace, the word has no meaning.
