Careful and systematic analysis reveals Trump’s direct responsibility as US president for the deaths of 25.6 million people, many of them children, and a detailed and documented charge sheet has been drawn up here. However just as Nixon and Clinton evaded justice for huge war crimes but were brought down by victimless lying to Congress, so Trump goes unpunished for killing 25.6 million people in 5.25 years as president but may well be brought down by the Epstein Files and the alleged rape of a 13-year old girl.
Donald Trump was elected to office as a convicted felon, albeit convicted for a victimless technical crime. However while Trump is the first convicted felon elected as US president, 45 other war criminal US presidents remain un-convicted for their war crimes, variously from the 3-century American Indian Genocide (5 million Indigenous American deaths) to the 2001-2021 Afghan Genocide (7 million Afghan deaths from violence and imposed deprivation in gross violation of Articles 55 and 56 of the Fourth Geneva Convention) (for a detailed and documented analyses of US war crimes see [1-6]).
Richard Nixon (US president 1969-1974) was not arraigned for direct involvement as US president in the following horrific war atrocities (deaths from violence and deprivation in brackets): the 1969-1998 Cambodian Genocide (6 million), 1955-1975 Laotian Genocide (1 million) and the 1945-1975 Vietnamese Genocide (15 million) [1-6]. However he was finally forced to resign in 1974 for deceiving Congress over the Watergate and cover-up crimes [7].
Similarly Bill Clinton (US president 1993- 2001) was not arraigned for direct involvement as US president in the following atrocities (deaths from violence and deprivation in brackets): 1992 onwards Somali Genocide (2 million), the 1990-2003 Sanctions and Gulf War part of the Iraqi Genocide (1.9 million), 1979 onwards Sanctions-related Iran Genocide (3 million), and non-intervention in the 1994 Rwanda Genocide (0.9 million) [1-6]. Clinton also bombed Serbia in 1995 and in 1999. However Clinton was impeached – but thence acquitted – over lying to Congress over his affair with an intern Monica Lewinsky [8].
It would seem extremely unlikely that Trump – nor indeed any other US president – will be prosecuted for killing 25.6 million non-Europeans in the Global South and particularly in the Muslim world [1-6]. Thus US Presidents George W. Bush (2001-2009), Barack Obama (2009-2017), Donald Trump (2017-2021), Joe Biden (2021-2025) and Donald Trump (2025 onwards) have not been arraigned for their direct responsibility for the 2001-2021 Afghan Genocide and Afghan Holocaust (7 million Afghan deaths from violence and from imposed deprivation in gross violation of Articles 55 and 56 of the Fourth Geneva Convention that state that an Occupier is obliged to provide its Conquered Subjects with life-sustaining food and medical requisites “to the fullest extent of the means available to it” ) [1-6, 9-11]. Indeed no US presidents have been tried for their part in the century-long, 1916-2026 and ongoing Palestinian Genocide and Palestinian Holocaust (3.1 million Palestinians killed by violence, 0.3 million, and imposed deprivation, 2.8 million) [12-15], noting that the WW2 Jewish Holocaust was associated with 5-6 million Jewish deaths due to Nazi-imposed violence and deprivation [16-18].
(A). Unpunished for killing 25.6 million people (many of them children), Trump is threatened by alleged sexual crimes against females, and particularly the alleged rape of a 13-year old girl.
While Trump goes for unpunished for killing 25.6 million people (as detailed in (B) below), he is threatened by the huge volume of Epstein files and his close connections to Jeffrey Epstein, that are being examined by media and Congress. In particular the alleged rape by Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein of a 13-year old girl is presently being reported by just a few Mainstream media, although most Western Mainstream media exhibit their extraordinary and entrenched mendacity by ignoring this hugely important story.
Thus the leading UK newspaper The Telegraph (6 March 2026): “US authorities have released new details of a sexual assault allegation against Donald Trump in the middle of their war on Iran. The trio of interviews were previously flagged as missing from the Epstein files and were released on Thursday night after pressure on the White House. The unidentified woman told FBI agents in 2019, shortly after Jeffrey Epstein was arrested on sex trafficking charges, that she had been sexually assaulted by the paedophile and Mr Trump while she was a teenager in the 1980s” [19].
Further respected media have reported this matter. Thus Common Dreams (24 February 2026): “The top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee announced Tuesday that an investigation will be opened into the US Department of Justice’s withholding of Epstein files related to an alleged sexual assault on a 13-year-old girl committed by President Donald Trump decades ago” [20].
Yahoo News (31 January 2026): “An allegation of rape against President Donald Trump involving a 13-year-old girl is part of an explosive new tranche of documents released by his own Justice Department into the crimes of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The bombshell claim, which the White House says was “unfounded and false,” was made in an FBI file dated from August last year” [21].
Yahoo News (9 March 2026): “The woman who accused Donald Trump of sexually abusing her when she was 13 provided several verifiable details about her life in interviews with the FBI, according to a new report. The woman detailed her alleged abuse by Trump and convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein over four interviews in 2019, the Epstein files revealed. The interviews were initially kept secret by the DOJ” [22].
Wikipedia: “As of October, 2024, since the 1970s, at least 28 women have accused Donald Trump of various acts of sexual misconduct, including rape, assault, kissing and groping without consent, looking under women’s skirts, and walking in on naked pageant contestants… In April 2016, an anonymous woman using the pseudonym “Katie Johnson” filed a lawsuit in California accusing both Trump and Jeffrey Epstein of forcibly raping her when she was 13 years old at underage sex parties at Epstein’s Manhattan residence in 1994” [23].
As reported on YouTube members of Congress have demanded release of all the relevant FBI files and demanded Trump’s appearance before the Congressional Oversight Committee investigating the voluminous Epstein files [24].
Indeed astonishingly in highly censored Australia, presenter David Marr indignantly raised the subject of the alleged Trump rape of the 13-year old girl on the progressive Late Night Live radio program of the important but “conservative” ABC (the taxpayer-funded Australian equivalent of the UK BBC). David Marr’s US correspondent stated that this matter would become a “bombshell” for Trump if the woman decides to come forward again [25].
As outlined above, a Google Search for “13-year old girl” plus the word Trump presently brings up only a couple of reports by respected media and AI Overview says: “Newly released FBI interviews from the “Epstein files” (February/March 2026) contain allegations from an unidentified woman claiming Donald Trump assaulted her in the 1980s-90s when she was 13–15 years old. Trump has denied these allegations, which officials labeled unverified and “sensationalist”” . However nearly all Western Mainstream media are conspicuous by their absence (with presently just several exceptions) from reporting this extremely topical and important matter that could end the Trump presidency – an extraordinary example of pervasive “Mainstream media lying” to protect the US establishment [26].
(B). Trump is directly responsible for the deaths of 25.6 million people, many of them children, but has yet to face a court for these horrific mortal crimes.
In January 2016 Trump boasted that : “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters, OK? It’s, like, incredible” [27]. Trump is responsible for the deaths of 25.6 million people, many of them children, but will only be held accountable to American voters if gas prices and the inflation rate go too high or if the Epstein child abuse scandal really explodes.
Documented below are estimates of the 25.6 million people who have died due to Trump’s actions as president of the US, actions for which he has not yet been held accountable under the US Constitution or under International Law.
(1). 57,000 US heroin-related deaths (2017-2021).
The Taliban banned Afghan opium production in 2000 for religious reasons. According to the UN Drug Control Program (UNDCP): “An estimated 185 metric tonnes (MT) of raw opium was produced in Afghanistan in 2001. This would suggest a large reduction in opium production of 94% from the 2000 total of 3,276 MT and a reduction of 96% from the record high of 4,582 MT reported by the 1999 survey”[28]. Thus the 2000 Taliban ban on Afghan opium production caused a 94% drop in output in 2000-2001. However the US invaded Afghanistan in October 2001 and by 2002 US occupation had restored Afghan opium production to more than the 2000 level and to 76% of world market share in 2002 and to 92% of world market share by 2006 [29-31]. For the world and Afghan opium production statistics from 1980 to 2009 see [32].
US heroin-related deaths peaked under the first Trump Administration (20 January 2017- 20 January 2021), totalled about 57,000 [33], and coincided with the peak period of US-protected Afghan opium production before the US withdrew in 2021 and the Taliban imposed a ban in April 2022 on the cultivation, transportation, trade, and selling of all drugs. By 2023 and 2024 Afghan opium production was only about 5% of that in 2022 [34]. Global annual opium production (mainly in Myanmar, Mexico and elsewhere in 2023 and 2024) was only about 20% of the peak global production of 10,000 tons in 2017 (the first year of the first Trump presidency) [34].
War criminal Trump’s excuses for America’s illegal invasion of Venezuela were alleged Venezuelan involvement in drug smuggling to the US and alleged Venezuelan terrorism. However documented reality links Trump to 57,000 heroin-related deaths in his first presidency due to US backing of the Afghan opium industry. Trump was also complicit in 6.8 million Occupied Afghan deaths from violence and deprivation under US Occupation and US state terrorism [35].
(2). 1.36 million Afghan deaths from violence and deprivation (2017-2020).
Occupied Afghan “deaths from violence and deprivation” (Google this phrase) totalled 6.8 million in the 20 year Occupation period of 2001-2021 [9-11]. Occupied Afghan deaths during Trump’s first 4 -year term (2017-2020) can be crudely estimated as (6.8 million deaths x 4 years)/20 years = 1.36 million. Under-5 year old children are about 70% of avoidable deaths from deprivation in impoverished countries [2].
(3). 1.16 million global opiate-related deaths (2017-2020).
Global drug deaths totalled about 0.2 million in 2001 and about 0.6 million in 2019, and accordingly the average of annual drug deaths in this period was 0.4 million per year. Assuming that 90% of these drug deaths were opioid-related, that of these about 90% were due to opiates (such as opium and heroin, as opposed to synthetic opioids such as fentanyl and tramadol), and that of these opiate-related deaths 90% were linked to Afghan opium production [36], then the average global death rate from Afghanistan-derived opium in the last 2 decades would have been about 290,000 million deaths per year – or a total of 5.8 million since 9-11 (11 September 2001)[37]. The first Trump Administration (2017-2020) ruled Occupied Afghanistan for 4 years and thus was responsible for (5.8 million deaths x 4 years)/20 years = 1.16 million global opiate-related deaths.
In stark contrast US Government-beholden Western Mainstream media continue to turn reality on its head by ignoring this US-imposed carnage of 290,000 per year x 20 years = 5.8 million opiate drug-related deaths world-wide linked to US restoration of the Taliban-destroyed Afghan opium industry from about 6% of world market share in 2001 to 93% in 2007. Further, Western Mainstream media ignore the reality that Iran was the world leader in combating this deadly, 2-decade scourge of US-protected Afghan opiate drugs and instead beat the drums of war against Iran by the nuclear terrorist and serial invader countries of the US, Apartheid Israel, the UK and France – and all this against a country that does not have nuclear weapons, denies any intention of building them, repeatedly declares that it wants a nuclear weapons-free Middle East, and that has not invaded another country for 1,500 years (except for recent targeted retaliation against Gulf States supporting the unprovoked and illegal US-Israeli attack on Iran by hosting US military bases).
According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), in about 2018 Iran accounted for 74% of the world’s opium seizures and 25% of the world’s heroin and morphine seizures. However Iran’s role as a world leader in the War on Drugs and in combating opiate drugs from US-occupied Afghanistan came at a heavy price. Thus Iran has a 900 kilometer border with the formerly US-occupied Afghanistan that produced about 90% of the world’s opium under US Alliance protection. Iran has spent about $700 million policing its borders against drug movement. About 2.5 million Iranians are drug users with opium accounting for 67% of drug use. 4,000 Iranian police have been killed protecting Iran and the World from US-protected opiate smugglers. The US Alliance restored the Taliban-destroyed Afghan opium industry from about 6% of world market share in 2001 to 93% in 2007. Drought reduced the Afghan share of the world opium production in 2018 to 82% [36-39].
In my own country, fervently US-beholden, Zionist-perverted and resolutely “look-the-other-way” Australia, people are aware of 3,000 people being killed on 9-11 and possibly that about 40 Australian solders have died in the US War on Terror. However they are utterly unaware that since 9-11 there have been 5.8 million global opiate drug-related deaths linked to US-protected Afghan opium production in US-occupied Afghanistan, that in the 2 decades since 9/11 about 1.6 million Australians have died preventably from “lifestyle choice” or “political choices” reasons, that tens of thousands of Australians have died from drug-related causes (mostly opiate-related), or that that 1,400 Australian veterans of US Alliance wars have suicided [37]. Interestingly, in 2008 the Australian PM Kevin Rudd suggested to a NATO meeting on Afghanistan that the US Coalition should destroy the Afghan opium crop that presently kills about 290,000 people each year. His suggestion was, of course, rejected [40], notwithstanding the glaring reality that unlike Afghan combatants fighting the US and NATO Alliance, plants are sessile, cannot run away, and accordingly elaborate a huge array of chemical defences (including opiates) [41]. In June 2010 the popularly-elected PM Rudd was removed in a US- , Apartheid Israel- and Zionist-backed overnight coup [42, 43]. Despite dishonest denials, Australia vocally, materially and diplomatically backs the US-Israeli regime-change attack on Iran (Australia’s Pine Gap spying base targets US and Israeli strikes, 3 Royal Australian Navy sailors were aboard the US submarine that sank an Iranian warship off Sri Lanka, and Australia has dispatched key military forces to the UAE) . Indeed Australians have been involved in 8 US-backed coups, namely in Laos (1960), Indonesia (1965), Cambodia (1970), Chile (1973), Australia (1975), Fiji (1987), Fiji (2000) and Australia (2010), with the last 3 involving serial war criminal and genocidally racist Apartheid Israel [42, 43].
(4). 14 million people will die globally by 2030 from Trump’s abolition of USAID.
Daniella Medeiros Cavalcanti et al in The Lancet (19 July 2025): “USAID funding has significantly contributed to the reduction in adult and child mortality across low-income and middle-income countries over the past two decades. Our estimates show that, unless the abrupt funding cuts announced and implemented in the first half of 2025 are reversed, a staggering number of avoidable deaths could occur by 2030.…Forecasting models predicted that the current steep funding cuts could result in more than 14, 051, 750 (uncertainty interval 8, 475, 990–19, 662, 191) additional all-age deaths, including 4, 537, 157 (3, 124, 796–5 ,910 ,791) in children younger than age 5 years, by 2030… USAID funding has significantly contributed to the reduction in adult and child mortality across low-income and middle-income countries over the past two decades. Our estimates show that, unless the abrupt funding cuts announced and implemented in the first half of 2025 are reversed, a staggering number of avoidable deaths [14 million] could occur by 2030” [44]. Under-5 year old children are about 70% of avoidable deaths from deprivation in impoverished countries [2].
(5). 875,000 Gaza deaths from violence and deprivation in 2 years of the US-backed Gaza Genocide, 325,000 of them children. .
In the first 2 years of the Trump-backed and Zionist Israeli-imposed Gaza Genocide there were 875,000 Gaza “deaths from violence and deprivation” (Google this phrase) including the deaths of 325,000 children, 207,000 women and 342,000 men [12-15]. Trump provided the weapons, bombs, multiple UNSC vetoes [45], operational military cooperation and over $16 billion in military funding [46] for Apartheid Israel’s Gaza Genocide.
Expert epidemiologists published in the leading medical journal The Lancet estimated that 64,260 Gazans had died violently by 30 June 2024 (Day 269 of the killing) [47] and hence that 175,000 Gazans had died violently by 7 October 2025 (Day 731) i.e. after 2 years of killing. The wartime ratio of indirect deaths from imposed deprivation to direct, violent deaths ranges from 3 (the Iraq War, 1990-2011) to 16 (the Afghan War, 2001-2021) [2-6, 9]. Epidemiologists “conservatively” estimated 4 deaths from imposed deprivation in Gaza for every violent death [48-50], this indicating 700,000 non-violent deaths and 875,000 Gazans in total killed by violence and imposed deprivation by 7 October 2025 (i.e. in 2 years). Assuming (in the absence of other data) that the relative proportions of child, women and men deaths are the same for indirect (non-violent) deaths and for violent deaths reported by the Gaza health authorities, then the 875,000 Gazan deaths by 7 October 2025 are conservatively estimated to include the deaths of 325,000 children, 207,000 women and 342,000 men [13-15]. However this underestimates child deaths because it ignores the high vulnerability of under-5 year old infants who represent about 70% of avoidable deaths from deprivation in impoverished countries (see Gideon Polya, “Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950” [2]).
(6). 8.1 million avoidable deaths: Trump’s “share” of 1950 onwards avoidable deaths from deprivation in countries variously occupied by the US since World War 2.
Whether a child dies from deprivation or is killed by bombs, bullets or bashing, the death is just as final and the perpetrators just as guilty. Indeed an Australian farmer who deliberately starves his livestock to death is prosecuted and goes to jail. Such avoidable deaths from deprivation can be determined as the difference between actual deaths in a country and deaths expected for a peaceful, decently governed country with the same demographics (birth rate, children as a proportion of population). Using UN Population Division demographic data I determined avoidable mortality for every country in the world from 1950 onwards, with the results published in 2007 and 2021 editions of my huge book “Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950” [2]. This book also includes an avoidable mortality-related history of every country in the world from neolithic times. The results are utterly shocking. In particular, under-5 year old children are about 70% of avoidable deaths from deprivation in impoverished countries [2].
Importantly, poor countries threatened by colonial or hegemonic powers need to divert precious resources from life-preserving social purposes to defence, with a consequent effect on avoidable mortality from deprivation. I determined that 1950-2005 avoidable deaths from deprivation in countries variously occupied by the US in the post-WW2 era totalled 82.2 million. We could crudely estimate that the 1950-2025 figure would be (82.2 million x 76 years)/56 years = 111.6 million. Trump has been US president for 5.25 years. We can accordingly calculate Trump’s “share” of this carnage as (116.6 million deaths x 5.25 years)/76 years = 8.1 million deaths.
(7). Trump actions variously linked to increased avoidable mortality in the short-term and long-term but to a presently uncertain and unquantified extent.
(a). Trump bombed 7 countries in 14 months (Venezuela, Nigeria (government-invited bombing), Somalia, Yemen, Syria, Iraq and Iran) as well as destroying “alleged drug boats” in international waters in the Caribbean and the Eastern Pacific [51]. In addition in the last circa 2.5 years US-backed Apartheid Israel has catastrophically bombed Yemen, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria and Iran. Further, the US and Apartheid Israel unilaterally declared the independence of Somaliland from Somalia. Over 78 years Germany- and US-armed and Germany- and US-backed Apartheid Israel has attacked 18 countries [52, 53]. Like the Zionist-perverted US, Apartheid Israel subverts all countries in the world, and exports high technology arms and surveillance systems to dictatorships and democracies alike, with Apartheid Israeli weapons supporting genocidal atrocities including the Myanmar Rohingya Genocide, the Sri Lanka Tamil Genocide, the Guatemala Mayan Indian Genocide, the Iraqi Genocide, the war- and sanctions-based Iran Genocide, and the ongoing Sudan Genocide [54-57]. Trump’s “share” of responsibility for the consequently increased avoidable mortality is not clear.
This horrendous ongoing global atrocity is enabled by Zionist subversion of the US and US Alliance countries [58] and of US-dominated Western Mainstream media in particular [58, 59]. While numerous anti-racist Jewish activists are resolutely critical of the ongoing Palestinian Genocide, Western Mainstream Media variously censor or white-wash the nuclear terrorist, genocidally racist, and grossly human rights-abusing conduct of Apartheid Israel. A part explanation for this huge moral discrepancy is that the American 60% of the world’s 30 biggest media companies have a disproportionately high Jewish Zionist Board membership. Jews and females represent 2% and 51%, respectively, of the US population but average 33% and 19%, respectively, of Board members of the top 18 US media companies [59].
(b). There obviously have been deadly consequences from illegal US-Israeli bombing and devastation of 93 million Iranians, with consequent retaliatory bombing of Gulf States hosting US bases, closure of the Straits of Hormuz, and billions impacted globally through supply chain interruption, elevated oil prices, fertilizer prices, and inflation. However the killing and destruction continue and the magnitude of the consequent excess mortality is not clear.
(c). Who’s next? In addition to bombing 7 countries, destruction of boats in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific, sanctioning and now blockading Cuba, and backing genocidal Apartheid Israel, Trump has threatened to invade and variously annex Colombia, Panama, Mexico, Canada, and Greenland (Denmark). Narcissist, racist and serial war criminal Trump could invade any non-nuclear-armed state at any time in this new might-is-right Trumpist world with huge consequent excess mortality.
(d). Trump and Trump-backed Apartheid Israeli violation of major International Conventions (most notably the Genocide Convention and the Fourth Geneva Convention) is predicted to encourage other countries to do likewise with huge consequent excess mortality.
(e). The world is existentially threatened by nuclear weapons and climate change. A nuclear exchange would generate a nuclear winter that would decimate Humanity and the Biosphere [60]. The Paris Agreement’s target of no more than plus 1.5C of warming was attained in the last 3 years in a row, and a catastrophic plus 2C of warming is only a decade or so away [61]. One of the world’s greatest minds, the theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking: “We see great peril if governments and societies do not take action now to render nuclear weapons obsolete and to prevent further climate change” [62]. However anti-science idiot Trump resumes nuclear testing, allows fully autonomous AI weapons (despite the ethical stance of Anthropic and similar science-informed objections [63, 64]), and regards climate change as a “hoax”.
(f).1.7 million Americans die preventably each year from “life-style choice” and “political choice” reasons. The major killers are smoking, air pollution, obesity and adverse hospital events (for a breakdown see [65]). An average of 1.7 million Americans will die preventably each year under a 2-term Trump presidency or about 14 million in total [65]. However while Trump’s anti-science and anti-equity positions contribute to this American Holocaust of preventable deaths, it is ultimately smoking, drinking, polluting and overweight Americans who are committing slow suicide [65].
Final comments and conclusions.
Reported by just 4 major Western Mainstream media (MS) but ignored by the rest , Trump’s power is threatened by the Epstein Files and the alleged rape of a 13-year old girl. Similarly ignored by Western MSM is Trump’s direct responsibility as US president for the deaths of 25.6 million people, many of them children.
The world is acutely threatened by this out-of-control, ignorant, stupid, anti-science, racist, mendacious, warmongering, and child-killing narcissist. The only hope for the long-suffering Americans is release of all the Epstein Files relating to Trump and particularly those relating to the alleged rape of a 13-year old girl. Americans must use this to go all out to defend America from this dangerous psychopath via the justice system.
What can the world do? Decent folk around the world must (a) inform everyone they can (so far most Western Mainstream media are squibbing this) and (b) urge and apply Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Trump-backed Apartheid Israel and all people, politicians, parties, collectives, companies and countries supporting this serial war criminal and child-killing rogue state, notably Trump America and its perverted Trumpist allies. Decent America must unite to demand impeachment of child-killing Trump. Thou shalt not kill children.
