Is the United States a terrorist state?

And is Trump the #1 Terrorist in the world?

He threatened to wipe a civilization off the face of the earth.
He has killed indiscriminately, such as he did with the boats off Venezuela and the schoolhouse in Iran.

He intimidates and threatens, even elected Senators elected by the people. He buys and sells favors. He threatens newspapers, colleges, banks, well-known individuals, etc.

Many people are fearful of him and the actions he might take.

If he is not a terrorist, what better word do you have?

And it didn’t start with the Pig. We have been pillaging and exploiting the global south basically since this nation was founded.

He is not necessarily motivated by some goal for which violence is a means to an end, He just likes murdering. He has a taste for blood.
