Donald Trump has been charged with crimes against the state. That's interesting because there is no evidence that Trump committed any crimes other than getting elected president in 2016. But history shows the George HW Bush dispatched an emissary to Iraq in 1988 and essentially caused not just the Gulf War but laid the groundwork for the Arab spring that followed. Bush was not charged with any crimes against the state. In fact, his son, George W. Bush invaded Iraq as a pretense to punish Saddam Hussein by falsley claiming Hussein had Weapons of mass destruction and implying that Hussein was behind the attack of the World Trade Center which Hussein had no connection with.
In 1988 Bush the elder sent April Glaspie, ambassador to Iraq, to meet with Sadam Hussein during a dispute betwee Iraq and Kuwait over oil side-drilling. Gaspie told Hussein that the US has no opinion on Arab-Arab conflicts which was interpreted by Hussein as a green light to invade Kuwait which he promptly did. Many deaths occurred because of that incident yet Bush was not charged with anything. You don't have to be genius to figure out that both Bush's played a significant role in causing the Arab attack on New York in 2001.
But Trump is universily hated for making locker room statements about women and becoming rich for putting up buildings in New York. No one died because Trump talked bad about women or built a building but plenty died because of the Bush's.
No need to worry about history; nothing to see here folks, move along.
You see why I have a problem with that?
