This is unfortunately (in a manner of speaking) considered entirely consistent, hence George Carlin talking about euphemisms:

The CIA doesn't kill anybody anymore, they neutralize people...or they depopulate the area. The government doesn't lie, it engages in disinformation. The pentagon actually measures nuclear radiation in something they call sunshine units. Israeli murderers are called commandos. Arab commandos are called terrorists. Contra killers are called freedom fighters. Well, if crime fighters fight crime and fire fighters fight fire, what do freedom fighters fight? They never mention that part of it to us, do they? Never mention that part of it.

The only reason you can expect libs to call it out is because they hate him; if he was Obama, Kamala or Biden, they'd be on board. I still recall a meme libs were passing around for a short while before the election where they decided to counter calls of Trump being anti-war with pro-war sentiment (showing a 'gigachad' in favor of it against global South leaders), or even their (continued) defense of Obama's intervention in Libya.

Pax Americana - you can’t make world peace Without world domination first!

I would say that for him "world" means the US alone but even that is a contradiction

World peace, like World Series kind of deal?

No see because Iran doesn't want world peace, so the bombing is just to get the peace without their consent. It's warpeace.

Trump is only talking about himself (again). In his mind he believes he is the entire world.

He wants things to be chill for himself in his twilight years. Something he is incapable of, even if he hadn't already made that impossible.

Is this what he meant when he said he "has the best words"?

[–] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 hours ago

What he SAYS and what he DOES is two seperate things.

Let me translate that for you: He doesn't know what he said.
