        …except the title literally includes Trump’s name. Trump, the guy whose the elimination of USAID has literally… literally…killed over 50,000 people due to removing food, medicine, and support for people around the world.

        Trump is accusing others of failing to uphold human rights. Peak irony.

            Just pointing out the hypocrisy isn’t an ad hominem.

                The reason to point out hypocrisy in politics is to get down to what the person really wants. For example, the pastor who preached against The Gays, and then ends up being convicted of grooming children. He obviously wasn’t going after LGBTQ+ people out of some moral stance, so we look for other explanations. Gaining political power is one possibility.

                In general, logical fallacies should be used to pick apart your own argument, not throwing it in other people’s faces.

      The UK is also encroaching on human rights, looking at the mass arrests that happened at the PA protest the other day, the online safety act, and the increased use of facial recognition tech in policing.

      Although they probably aren’t what Trump is on about

    That’s funny because personally, I’d accuse the Trump administration of protecting an orange fuckwit paedo nonce by not releasing the Epstein files.
