It makes sense when you realize that they don’t consider the people above as humans.
Ironically, the person in the top photo looks a hundred times more trustworthy than the plastic-ass smarmy mofos underneath him.

These days when asked to picture a terrorist, I picture the faces on the currency of USA.
… the most recent president to have a unique piece of currency with their depiction (not counting limited edition presidential coinage or such) was JFK… arguably one of the last presidents to NOT be directly involved in America’s terrorization of the middle east
Now, im not saying that the older us presidents were good by any means, but i just think your metaphor is a bit off, since most people associate the faces on US currency to be people like Abraham Lincoln or George Washington, not pieces of shit like Bush or Clinton
The people you’re implying to be terrorists (bush, Clinton, Obama, Trump, etc) are not actually featured on any pieces of US currency… in fact, the US mint prohibits having any living presidents on currency in the first place
I’m sure the downvoters don’t know how the “terrorists” came to be in the first place.
So the Independent digitized this article, and for some reason left the comments open. Naturally they got clowned on:
This is the reason why I could not believe that President Donald Trump is any more horrible than his predecessors despite his stance on the issue. Donald Trump antagonize the media oligarchy, cut foreign funding for debt trapping and terrorism, and stop trade with repressive governments and abusive workplace.
Trump isn’t that much worse than his predecessors when it comes to bombing the shit out of third world countries, but don’t assume that just because he’s on par with everyone else in that aspect, he isn’t hundreds, if not thousands of times worse than his predecessors in every other aspect.
In the current United States, pretty much every serious presidential candidate is going to have the same stance on bombing the middle east - but Trump’s biggest problems are what he’s doing to our own citizens and country, not what he’s doing abroad
So what you’re saying is that americans are more important than people abroad.
Trump is not the problem, he is just a symptom of a wider problem. Regardless of having Democrats or Republicans, there is an advance in repression to workers in the US, as well as increase of violence in US foreign policy. 20 years ago they would not openly support a televised genocide but nowadays they don’t care. Note this has nothing to do with Trump, as both Biden and Harris supported the exact same policies.
The big problem is that the US oligarchy knows that their grip on the world is loosening, therefore they are shamelessly promoting an acceleration of violence and repression, on par with what they did post WW2 when a lot of liberation movements exploded after the West was too weak to handle all of them at the same time.
All those moves are being done to quell any resistance that is being built in the global south. And they know that for doing this, they need to quell any unrest locally, as they need the population to sit apathically as they turn workers into the imperial machine cannon fodder.
So your struggle as worker in the US has everything to do with what is happening in the middle east right now. We need international solidarity more than ever.
“But what about meeeeee?”
Death to usa, death to yanks
Oh, fuck off. If you’re too dumb to understand why an American perspective is relevant when discussing fucking Trump of all people, then maybe you should put down your phone and go back to drinking your meals through a straw, you braindead vegetable
