The US government always committed war crimes and all sorts of human rights abuses abroad.

The previous presidents were just more competent stewards of these activities.

In some ways, not being from the US, I don't dislike Trump. He may be a senile buffon and apparent pedophile, but at least he laid bare what the US truly stands for. He was elected twice after all, and still has substantial support.

At least other countries can stop pretending the US is in any way friendly.
