Comment on Gonna be straight forward, how is Donald Trump not considered a Global/Donestic Terrorist?

  Yes, that term usually denotes a person or group not in power.

  Google says

  A person, group, or organization that uses violent action, or the threat of violent action, to further political goals; frequently in an attempt to coerce either a more powerful opponent, (such as a citizen or group targeting a government), or conversely, a weaker opponent, (such as a government, or even an internal citizen or group, being targeted by a larger government).

    your own quote literally disproves what you said before it 😂

    (such as a government, or even an internal citizen or group, being targeted by a larger government).

      So, I see, you’re painting Trump and Putin as the underdog. Everyone pushing them around

        no, i am painting trump and putin as a terrorists targeting civilians. and i am explaining to you that your own quote allows for a situation where the terrorist in not “underdog vs government”, but it is actually the government.

        no one is moving anything, it is just that you need to be handheld through every step of the argument.

        no generally accepted definition of the word states that terrorist has to be non-state actor, deal with it, or keep kicking around yourself, it is not going to change anything. bye.
