If this person actually listened to what Trump said - always, there would be no surprise.

One of the lowest points in US history - the president going on unhinged white supremacist rants in public appearance after public appearance, targeting a specific ethnic group - but because it’s Trump our political class is incapable of perceiving what it is and reacting appropriately

This is not in any way normal. In just the past 24-hour period, Trump has posted on social media 190 times.
And completely crazy stuff - including an Alex Jones post about Michelle Obama using Biden's autopen.
Where is the media on this? I'm perplexed. He is not well.

β€’ If the U.S. military operation to interdict and destroy suspected narcotraFicking vessels is a β€œnon-international armed conflict,” as the Trump Administration suggests, orders to β€œkill everybody,” which can reasonably be regarded as an order to give β€œno quarter,” and
to β€œdouble-tap” a target in order to kill survivors, are clearly illegal under international law. In short, they are war crimes.
β€’ If the U.S. military operation is not an armed conflict of any kind, these orders to kill helpless civilians clinging to the wreckage of a vessel our military destroyed would subject everyone from SECDEF down to the individual who pulled the trigger to prosecution under U.S. law for murder.

Post image Highlighted sentence at the end of the document reads:

Again, the bottom line is that, since orders to kill survivors of an attack at sea are β€œpatently illegal,” anyone who issues or follows such orders can and should be prosecuted for war crimes, murder, or both.

Former US military lawyers speak out:

"The Former JAGs Working Group unanimously considers both the giving and the execution of these orders, if true, to constitute war crimes, murder, or both."
