Donald J Trump Institute of Peace (sic and sick)

To know him is to loathe him.



Genocide Backer and Narcissist Donald J. Trump Puts His Name on ‘US Institute of Peace’

“This is pathetic, like a little boy running around putting ‘Property of Donald’ stickers on everything in the house,” said one critic.

The signs on the building of the United States Institute of Peace were changed overnight to include “Donald J. Trump,” adding the name of the sitting US president who, among other examples of warmongering and war-making, has openly supported the Israeli genocide in Gaza, bombed Iran, sent an aircraft carrier strike group to threaten Venezuela, and ordered the extrajudicial killings of over 80 people aboard boats in the Caribbean and Pacific in recent months.

The building’s name change preceded a meeting on Thursday between leaders of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, where a proposed peace deal between the two warring nations is set to be signed. It also came amid an ongoing clamoring by the president to be recognized as a great maker of peace despite his record of violence, thuggery, racism, and human rights violations.

Critics of the move were swift in their condemnation of Trump, known more for being possibly the most famous narcissist in the history of humanity than for waging anything that remotely looks like a just and lasting peace.

“This is pathetic, like a little boy running around putting ‘Property of Donald’ stickers on everything in the house,” said Tom Nichols, a staff writer at The Atlantic magazine. “It’s not the Trump institute of peace, it’s the US Institute of Peace.”

Trump, who has repeatedly expressed his desire to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, has a long history of supporting and conducting overseas military operations and backing the worst actors on the world stage when it comes to war crimes and human rights abuses, counting as his close allies Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, wanted by the International Criminal Court on war crimes charges, and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, implicated by Trump’s own CIA as the person who ordered the murder and dismembering of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018.

That this building was a lifelong effort by a WWll veteran to emphasize the importance of Peace, after the hell he saw in war. Rip that shit off of that wall and stick it up his fat ass. He continually shits on every person that ever served and is currently serving. (From his fighter jet) Can someone meme him flying over Arlington dumping that liquid McDonalds shit in every damn tombstone?
This sick toy soldier needs to……………..Ya don’t wanna hear My Thought and Prayer to end that sentence.

It may not seem like a big deal. But I think it is.

It has my blood boiling. And it has since the beginning of the story around the destruction of USIP.
