Donald Trump, War Criminal?
The “war crime” outcry is simply another collaboration between America’s enemies, the media, and the Democrat Party.
J.R. Dunn | April 8, 2026
Over the last couple of days, we’ve been hearing that, once the Dems take the midterms, they’ll immediately start preparations to try Donald Trump for war crimes in Iran. The loudest voice here – as is usually the case – is James Carville (actually, what he said was more like “We gone git that-theah Donal’ Trump for woah crimes roun’ heah.”), but he hasn’t been alone.
Is there any truth to this? What they’re referring to, it seems, is President Trump’s announcement that he intends to target infrastructure, particularly power generation and bridges, in the next round of air strikes if the Iranian government refuses to come to terms.
On the face of it, there’s nothing to this. Both power stations and transportation infrastructure are legitimate targets of war and always have been. Both – along with most other infrastructure targets – are used by belligerents to carry out military actions. Energy generation is obviously useful in powering military equipment and installations. Roads and bridges are used to transport supplies and shift military forces. Which, ipso facto, makes them legitimate targets. That they’re also used for civilian purposes doesn’t change things. (There has, interestingly enough, been a lot of thought put into this question of interwoven purposes and usage by legal and military scholars. The principle here is called "double effect," referring to the fact that some militarily beneficial actions could also harm innocent third parties. The conclusion has been that if an asset is crucial to military action and is not mainly used for civilian purposes, it’s a target. You can drop a bridge. You cannot, ethically, bomb a hospital full of civilians just because it has a couple dozen enemy wounded inside.)
