I’m not disagreeing with you, but at least those awful actions are plausibly covered as a presidential act made in the country’s interests. I’m not saying they were good for the US, just that they could argue that was the process.

Trump’s shit is all self-serving and against the interests of the United States.

presidential act made in the country’s interests.

If your country's interests require committing mass murder (like Bush Jr or Obama did), then your country is an awful evil place.

I cannot disagree with you there!

That’s mostly what I meant by this sentence:

I’m not saying they were good for the US, just that they could argue that was the process.

Even if they make the worst, most destructive decisions that most of their constituents disagree with, it’s still a presidential act. I assume they can’t be charged in the US. Might be different in an international court, but I think we refuse to recognize their authority or something, because U-S-A! U-S-A!
