Tell me that time that Trump dropped bombs on anyone. I'll wait. It will be much harder then if you try to do this for bush or Regan or Clinton or biden or Obama or any other president you or your parents lived through. Let that sink in. The super evil viole t fascist is the only president who didn't drop bombs on any innocent civilians. Does that really add up for you?

Relaxed rules in 2017 resulting in increased civilian casualties liar
I didn't lie about shit. Work on reading comprehension. He supported way fewer bombs ings and war than almost any president in the last 100 years. This is easily checked. The evil fascist murdering president so ehow has a more peaceful track record than any you can find. The only response you have is to make up arguments to fight against. That should tell you something. It won't, but it should.

You did, repeatedly in the same thread. Your goalpost repeatedly moved so you can throw out empty insults like :
I don't know if you are a troll, a Russian paid professional troll, a shill or an idiot but I do know that you are a liar.
Look, I slightly exaggerated a 1 to a 0. You know full well that this is absolutely a red herring and the o lyrics thing you have to stand on. I won't pretend to think you are a bot or a paid shill, that's absurd. You are fully aware of what you are doing though.
Oh I thought you "misspoke." Hmm now it was an exaggeration. Weird how you contradict yourself repeatedly
A 300 percent increase isn't a 1 to 0. Besides, a 1 bring true and a 0 being false would mean insisting so strongly again and again it's 0 when there is one three or fourth is not true.
Trump literally used the word Palestinian as a derogatory insult in the debate, if that's not enough for you to get the hint you are beyond help my guy
The fact is that all you have is that people told you that Trump used "Palestinian" as a derogatory term and that on the other side, biden has been mercilessly providing bombs to blow the hell out of Palestinians for almost a year. For me, I would much rather my name be used as a slander than have my whole family turned into applesauce. I guess some people really care more about supposed name-calling, though.
So you're using the Palestinian genocide as pretense to further an agenda completely unrelated to it, got it. If you actually cared, you would understand how effective this kind of dehumanization is in generating support for the murder of a people.
The user you are speaking with is most likely a paid Russian troll. I say this because they repeatedly lie in specific ways which would encourage people to not vote or vote for Trump (such as claiming Trump bombed zero people but Biden directly bombs people), and they claim to be a US citizen randomly, but keep European hours.
It seems like they take great pleasure in lying generally and especially in lying to say their ideological opponents "support genocide" since they have called them out for lying. I want to make it a mission to call this piece of shit out everywhere I can. They are a liar, and it is intentional. And from what I've seen, it would be weird if it's not paid.
I never said biden directly bombs people. I corrected you when you said.
I corrected myself after I said trump didn't supply any bombs. He supplied very few.
If you had anything to stand on, then you would argue honestly. You've repeatedly incorrectly represented me.
You were telling me over and over how much I love trump despite me saying that he is disgusting and I detest him and would never vote for him.
If you believed you had any solid argument, then you wouldn't have to make stuff up in order to feel like you are winning arguments.
