      A presidency directly responsible for over a million otherwise preventable deaths in the US, and multiple millions worldwide through the destruction of programs like USAID.

      If you want to focus on the effect on human lives.

        Comparing incomparable things and stating that they are smiilar in any way is beyond regarded. Existential war and authoritharian(-ish) regime aren’t the same. USAID, the CIA front one?

          Way to go trying to paint over the very real impact USAID has had on health outcomes for people in developing countries. Trump’s actions are also making more Ukrainians needlessly die every day so it’s not like he is inconsequential even for this war.

            USAID was a very real CIA front. Can you separate art from the artist which programs were really beneficial, and which weren’t? I can’t and taking aid from possibly poisoned source isn’t so great of an option. Obviously possibly bad help better than none and trump’s motivation to close it isn’t clear for me nor do I want to try to decipher what that person thought at the time.
