Is Trump acting like a terrorist ?

Ever since he entered the US political scene, Donald Trump has used a cocktail of lies and fear-mongering to get attention from people, but more so, to scare them, particularly illegal residents or black and brown people, and as he did, he always pushed the envelope of civility into unacceptable, sometime illegal, behavior in trying, by the same token, to normalize them.

When we look at a basic definition of what a terrorist behavior is, we find that a terrorist is “a person who uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims”. 

It begun with his attacks on Obama’s US citizenship, culminated with fueling the January 6 coup attempt and goes on today with mentally torturing our Federal Employees. 

What is unique about Trump’s behavior is his resort to constant unsettling and unexpected declarations aimed at frightening the masses and creating an on-going atmosphere of fear and anguish that is spoiling the quality of life of more than half of the US population. 

I’m not even talking about capturing foreign lands or engineering some ethnic cleansing in Palestine. 

Based on all this, do you think Trump actions and those of his acolytes like Musk, are not a manifestation of widespread terrorism?
