Trump being "anti-war" is complete nonsense, I made a post on this a few months back when a user was trying to make this claim.

  1. The assassination of the Iranian General Qasem Soleimani which almost spiralled out of control.
  2. He threatened Iraq with sanctions if they forced American troops to leave their own country.
  3. In 2000 he argued in favour of a military strike on Iraq.
  4. In 2002 he was in favour of the Iraq invasion and only started criticising it a year later when he saw how messy it was.
  5. Troop numbers in warzone were increased during his presidency.
  6. In 2019, air strikes from the US/Allies in Afghanistan killed more civilians than in any other year since the war began.
  7. The US alone dropped more bombs on Afghanistan in 2019 than any other year since tallies began in 2006.
  8. He vetoed measures to force an end to US Involvement in Yemen War.
  9. He vetoed bills intended to block arms sales to Saudi Arabia.

But he's apparently "anti-war" to some because technically no new wars were started by him, Lol.

Oh and being an isolationist doesn't mean "anti-war" cause the fact is a lot of people and countries rely on America's protection to keep them safe and once that is removed, others take advantage, Trump abandoned the Kurds, US Allies for years, to be slaughtered. Saying that Russia can "do whatever the hell it wants" to America's allies is not being anti-war, it's if anything encouraging war. He will let Israel absolutely slaughter Gaza and throw Ukraine to their deaths against Russia but oh he's such a peace loving president, Lol.

It does feel like some Americans aren't taught a thing about WW2 and how well isolationism worked out for them last time around.

Trump's anti war because he's going to cut aid off to Ukraine and let hundreds of thousands be slaughtered 🤡
