Donald Trump asked for the support of the American people both during his first presidency and during his second election campaign by saying that he was “against wars” and that he would “bring peace” to the world. He even demanded the Nobel Peace Prize for himself for this reason. He said that 7–8 trillion dollars collected from the taxes of the American people had been wasted by previous American presidents in endless and meaningless wars that brought no benefit. He stated that he would withdraw troops from many regions and that, with the goal of “America First,” he would prioritize the welfare and development of the American people.

Now let us briefly remember some issues.

Before the election, Trump said, “I will end it in 24 hours,” and even claimed, “I will solve it before becoming president.” After he was elected, about one and a half years passed, yet the Ukraine War continued with all its destruction. Russian attacks never stopped. The promise was not fulfilled.

Gaza / Middle East Peace

He was saying that he would “immediately end the war” and bring peace. However, Israeli attacks did not stop, and instead of establishing peace, Trump continued to support what is described as Israel’s genocide, just like President Biden before him. A so-called “Gaza Peace Council” was created with great publicity. But Israel’s genocide policy continues with full force. Even though there is relative calm in Gaza from time to time, the entry of food, medicine, and other humanitarian aid is still very limited. Peace did not come, and the conflicts continue.

After being elected, he also entered into direct war with Iran. In June 2025, there were bloody clashes lasting 12 days. Bombings increased in places such as Yemen, Syria, and Somalia. New conflicts were added to the region.

Genocidal Israel passed a parliamentary decision about executing thousands of Palestinian prisoners. In addition, in the West Bank, murders, theft, torture, destruction, and oppression continue every day at full speed, while another law was passed in parliament declaring that these Palestinian lands should be completely under Israeli sovereignty.

At the same time, Israel is also occupying Lebanon. People are being killed every day there as well. Although Trump gave weak reactions once or twice on this matter, Israel continued its path.

While Israel was doing all these things and Trump’s America was giving every kind of support to these acts, Trump himself kidnapped the elected Venezuelan president Maduro and his wife one night through methods described as gangster-like, and effectively occupied the country. He says openly, “Venezuela has 40 trillion dollars of oil, and it will belong to us.” Yet he still claims that he brought “peace” to Venezuela.

The “Freedom” Lie for Iran

Not stopping there, the U.S.........
