Trump thinks any criticism of him and his failures is treason.
he likes to frame it as treason, because he wants to kill people who are critical and oppose him.

The US is not winning war in Iran
It was treason to launch an insurrection against the United States on January 1st, 2021.
It was treason to send the US to war in Iran, unauthorized by Congress, spending US taxpayer dollars, depleting US munitions stockpiles, throwing away US lives, alienating US allies, ruining US strategic defense posture, devastating US soft power, and tanking the US economy.
These are only some of the examples of treason Donny has committed. The full list would be much longer.
“Truth is treason in an empire of lies.”
From Ron fucking Paul of all people.
I wonder if the GOP will start using conditional statements to hide some lies. For example:
"If we're winning the war in Iran, then I will personally release all of the Epstein Files myself on the DOJ website by June."
"If the 2020 election was rigged in Biden's favor, then I should have a third term."
"If I conquer Canada and squash their resistance without issue, then I will guarantee every unemployed person in the country a $200k/yr job."
All true statements according to vacuous truth.
If the goal of the war was to increase gas prices by about 50%, murder a bunch of random schoolchildren, and accomplish nothing else, then they're doing a real bang up job of it.
USA! USA!!
The truth is treason. Lies are patriotism. War is peace. Freedom is slavery.
Awfully close to Arbeit macht frei
Sounds familiar...
the us is NOT winnning the war in iran
this cunt
I thought it wasn't a war but a military intervention? But since this is coming from the biggest traitor of the US, you know..
I thought it was already over and that's why it doesn't need to get congressional approval to continue.
Totally normal innocent behavior
Bit rich coming from a fucking traitor.
What hits me the hardest is how many people are clapping in front of him as he says it.
It goes to show how deep this corruption has infested in the American psyche.
They're clapping for the 'No tax on social security' on the wall behind him
Like a bunch of performing seals.
The US is not winning the war in Iran.
Straight to jail
What even are the conditions for victory?
Death to all brown people... Oh you mean in war? No body knows.

For Americans, for the rest of us, we can confidently say, you failed to win a war you started for no reason at all, your country has become an utter failure, no one can trust a single thing coming out of your country, from the food, to the media, to the words of the president, absolutely nothing is trusted with the american seal of approval, your tech industry is just an extension of the goverment now, so can't trust that either.
I'll give you one thing tho, you are unifying the world in mockery of your sad pathetic actions.
As an American, I totally agree. I am at a loss as to how we got to where we are so quickly, how it can be fixed, or what I should do as an individual. Feels like a slow motion train wreck that was easily predicted and warned about, yet nobody changed anything to avoid it.
The most frustrating thing is that writing my representatives in government, voting, and protesting all seem completely ineffectual.
The US is not winning the war in Iran.
Hey, friendly Canadian here with breaking news for Americans: the US is not winning the war in Iran.
Another Canadian happy to report that saying that the US is not winning is still not treasonous up here.
However, what Marlaina Smith and the Alberta UCP is doing definitely is treasonous.
