As we post today, president Trump has killed nearly 60 people in 18 boat attacks over the last few weeks. He has provided no proof, evidence or explanation to the American public and his Department of Defense briefings have included only GOP members of Congress. The victims have been citizens of foreign nations and, in any other context, these murderous actions would be considered as an act of war. Since no information is forthcoming we don’t even know if these boats were headed for US shores. So, bottom line, Trump has murdered 60 people without any explanation or proof of their danger to America. If anyone had attacked an American boat we would certainly have retaliated. But Trump works with impunity. Why is he openly defying the US Constitution and International Law? Of note, the two survivors of one attack were immediately returned to their home country instead of being held for US courts to judge. Why? Were they really just fishing and had nothing to do with drug trafficking? Just something else we’ll never know. And finally, where will this killing end? Is Trump trying to negotiate a deal with these countries and using his death threats as leverage? Has he stooped down to yet another hellish level?
