Your willful ignorance of Trumps actions only leads to avoidable death of Palestinians.

What willful ignorance? I've said nothing to exonerate Trump for the harm he is responsible for. He has simply not been the subject of this conversation at all. You can't defend Biden, so you're shifting to whataboutism. It's a pretty obvious dodge, but I guess it's all you've got.

I don't believe Trump ever told the truth in his entire life, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't understand truth as a concept. I never said anything to indicate otherwise. This discussion was about Biden who has a completely different set of psychological pathologies.

Actually, you know what, your blatant refusal to talk about how Trump is worse than Biden aside for a moment, I had totally glossed over the fact that you basically said you don't believe Trump is committing a genocide because you believe everything he says is a lie and he's told you that he's going to kill or relocate every Palestinian.

I made no such refusal. I just called out your whataboutism. Whether Trump will be functionally worse than Biden for Palestinians is a pretty academic exercise though. Dead is dead, and both Trump and Biden have blood on their hands. I'm not as impressed as you are that Biden extended their lifespans by 4 days, in-between weapons shipments.

I never said that everything Trump said is an exact opposite of the truth. He just speaks with no concern whatsoever for what's true. It's all lies, true or not. Your goofy interpretation of that is so dumb that it can only be disingenuous.

Anyways, this conversation came from your statement about Democrats only doing good things or something to that effect. Democrats being better than Republicans, or Biden being better than Trump, is not the bar you set, you disingenuous little shit.
