No, that kind of moral equivalence is what Trump plays on.
Take for example: “All politicians lie”

“Read my lips, no new taxes” is qualitatively different from “They are eating the cats! We are deporting rapists and murders!”
Surely you see the difference
Obama war crimes bombings at least he worked with the State Department and DoD lawyers to come up with a legal theory and framework. It obviously blurred some boundaries. But it was qualitatively different from literally threatening genocide after consulting (as far as we can tell) nobody.
Oh sorry if I was unclear, I’m trying to say he’s not threatening to do war crimes, he already has will and will continue to do so if the States allow him, not that all politicians do x. He is certainly not the only one who would, just one of the worst recent examples we have to date.

Narrator: nobody saw the difference
And he actually DID them too
Wut. Every US president since WW1 has committed war crimes.
But, yeah, I’d be down to send them all to The Hague
