    If he actually pulls this off (big if), he was genuinely the harm reduction candidate. Stopping a genocide outweighs many of the horrible things he’s doing now, just like how America did many terrible things in WWII, but their fighting and supplies helped win the war.

      I don’t think that you can say that Trump stopped a genocide even if a ceasefire happens. Trump created the GHF fake aid sites which have been opening fire on starving Gazans and killing 30-70 Gazans almost every day since around May 30. Trump promised to lift the aid blockade on Gaza and then didn’t and now it is said that Gaza has a famine. Even if the aid blockade is lifted right now, Gazans still face refeeding syndrome and birth defects from famine. Trump is implicated in the Genocide. Trump’s presidential cabinet was handpicked by Zionists.

      I think it’s pointless to consider whether a Democrat president would have been less harmful. Democrats certainly didn’t campaign on being less harmful. However Trump has certainly caused a significant amount of harm.

      Also even if Trump gets a ceasefire. Will Israel be held accountable? Will Israel face de-nazification? Trump won’t do this. If Israel is not denazified, then they will continue to bomb 7+ other countries in the region.
