Trump's government murdered two American citizens in Minneapolis just this year.
Bill Clinton's government murdered the Branch Davidians in WACO in 1993.
George H. W. Bush's government murdered Randy Weaver's wife and son at Ruby Ridge in 1992.
Abroad, presidents have been routinely killing civilians since the advent of the drone era.
George W. Bush conducted at least 57 strikes, killing over one hundred civilians.
Barack H. Obama ramped up the strikes to over 500, killing many hundreds.
Trump I conducted so much killing from the air he stopped reporting the numbers, leaving others to estimate thousands of killings from an unknown number of drone strikes.
Joe Biden radically curtailed the use of drones, but still killed dozens of civilians, including in an infamous incident during the ignominious U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Trump II is murdering non-combatants in speed boats in the Caribbean, and school girls in Iran.
The high criminal violence is completely bi-partisan and impeachable, but it reflects the country rather than leads it.
Americans of all stripes have been quite content quietly to enjoy life year in and year out while pretending that some of their fellow citizens have not been busy killing tens of millions of the unborn. Abortions don't make a loud noise and leave a puff of smoke, but the outcome is the same.
