“The president repeated his promise to continue murdering people in his made-up ‘conflict’: ‘Well, I don’t think we will necessarily ask for a declaration of war. I think we are just gonna kill people who are bringing drugs into our country. Okay? We’re gonna kill them. They’re gonna be, like, dead.’ Trump’s statement sums up the core of his foreign policy and how he wields power in general. He is going to unleash death and destruction because he feels like it and because no one is stopping him, and he isn’t bothering with any pretense of respecting the law. The president will order U.S. forces to commit murder without end, and he makes no secret of it. He thinks it is something to boast about. It is the perfect encapsulation of Trump’s tyrannical rule.” (10/24/25)
