He didn't start any wars.


Are we at war with Venezuela?

No we are not.


Are we at war with China? With Iran? With Russia? With North Korea?


No we are not.


We are at drug war with drug cartels since 1971.


The drug war was started by President Richard Nixon in 1971.


It wasn't started by President Donald J. Trump.


Every U.S. President since Richard Nixon in 1971 has continued to wage the drug war including your beloved Obama and Biden,

Holy moley!

He's popped of a few more firecrackers, then, than he said he would.

Even in his presser he crowed that Putin said had Trump been in office, the war with Ukraine wouldn't have happened.

Trump isn't at war because he still needs Congressional approval to be at war.

And Nixon? War against Drugs? Are you kidding? Ya gotta be.

LOLLING!

The term "war on drugs" was popularized by the media after a press conference, given on June 17, 1971, during which President Richard Nixon declared drug abuse "public enemy number one"

In a 2016 Harper's cover story, Ehrlichman, who died in 1999,[139] was quoted from journalist Dan Baum's 1994 interview notes: "... by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."[140][141][142][143] The veracity of the quote was challenged by Ehrlichman's children,[144] and Nixon-era officials.[145] In the end, the increasingly punitive reshaping of US drug policy by later administrations was most responsible for creating some of the conditions Ehrlichman described.”

Note the red highlighted comment. This is not necessarily proven, but is consistent with what Nixon tried to do during his administration.

I remember Nixon’s War on Drugs. I was around back then. I also remember his war on Kent State. Do you?

Now tell us again how this is the same as a declared war against, well, anybody?
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said his country is engaged in a “full-fledged war with America, Israel, and Europe,”

But then again, he would say that....

OTOH, Trump does seem to make 'not so veiled' threats of military action against other countries on a regular basis (Venezuela, Colombia, Cuba, Greenland, Iran, Mexico), and has conducted military operations against 7 countries in his first year.
Oh yeah...add Nigeria to the list

*You* may claim we are not at war with Venezuela but our actions are of that of a conquering nation. Short term objective was achieved. What is currently going on afterwards is FAR BEYOND what you claim.

And to use the drug angle....I gotta confess. I am baffled. I really thought trump was of mind to understand addictive personalities when it came to chemicals (his uncle being an alcoholic) and would be sympathetic to such. But his actions are counter to that.

His "war" on drugs is to tear down anything to treat people that are dependent on them. He is taking the most expensive, labour intensive, hamstringing action to counter such.

Actually he’s not. I remember when he said that he didn’t know what Project 2025 was. That was either a lie or the people that he surrounds himself with are implementing it behind his back and he just doesn’t care.

I’m half convinced that Trump only cares about things that personal to him or things that will profit him in some way.

His advisors use this to enact an agenda that pleases the MAGA faithful and I don’t think Trump really has any idea of what is really happening in the wider world.

I expect the next few years are going to be a straight up disaster for the old world order.
