Did he make any mentions of the victims of "Desert Storm"?
Or would that be too politically incorrect even for Trump?

Perhaps if Desert Storm lasted over 100 years & covered most of the planet as Communism has, your point might have merit.

Your "morality" is remarkably self serving.

Tl;dr
"Lol communism is terrible, fellas!"

But what about {insert other bad thing here}.

Yes, that thing is bad, but we are talking about other bad things right now.

Do you bring up this bad thing every time someone starts a thread about another bad thing, or do you only behave this way when we talk about the bad thing that is Communism??

If I talked about my family in the context of their victimization at the hands of Nazism, would you have the same reaction??

Did you bring up Desert Storm in response to this : Presidential Message on International Holocaust Remembrance Day | The White House ??

If not, why must you do such a thing when it comes to peoples' victimization at the hands of Communism??

Yes, Desert Storm was bad. But if you wouldn't say "But what about Desert Storm??" to a Holocaust survivor then don't do that same thing to those who suffered other tragedies!!

"But what about-"

It was bad!! Whatever whataboutism you want to throw in as a distraction, yes, sure, it was probably bad. I will concede that, so can we move on now?? Can we talk about this other bad thing without your shameful derailing??

You don't interrupt other discussions on other bad things with this kind of behavior, so why interrupt this thing??

Death at the hands of the Reds is only the most obvious evil. Here are other examples, from the Victims of Communism site by those who lived thru it:

The Prime Minister of Poland addresses a Victims of Communism gathering:

 

[Nicholas]

"No political ideology has produced as much
wretched poverty, rank repression, and sheer violence as communism. In country after country, across
vastly different nationalities, traditions, and ethnicities, communists have consistently engaged in
egregious violations of the most basic human rights, from free speech to the right to assemble, from press
freedom to property rights, from conscience rights to religious liberty. Communist regimes have routinely
refused their citizens the right to exit—that is, to escape—the misery and destruction they have
implemented within their own borders. In some cases, they erected walls to lock the masses into their
workers’ paradise: cement barriers patrolled by secret police with guns aimed not outward at some
perceived enemy seeking to enter, but inward upon the unarmed, immiserated populace."

From Kengor's Guide to Communism

"The 1999 Black Book of Communism—a highly respected work published by Harvard University
Press—attempted the thankless task of tabulating the total communist death toll in the twentieth century. It
came up with a figure approaching a hundred million. Here is the general breakdown:

• U.S.S.R.: 20 million
• China: 65 million
• Vietnam: 1 million
• North Korea: 2 million
• Cambodia: 2 million deaths
• Eastern Europe: 1 million
• Latin America: 150,000
• Africa: 1.7 million
• Afghanistan: 1.5 million
• The international communist movement and Communist parties not in power: about 10,000."

Do you think death by communism will ever catch up with death by religion?

The first two sections of The Devil and Karl Marx, a 400+ page book, are biographical, while the rest is more about the Devil & communism. Paul Kengor has penned another fine survey of the demonic forces abounding nowadays.

“The Devil and Karl Marx”: a Review - The Catholic Thing

Prof. Kengor’s new book, The Devil and Karl Marx: Communism’s Long March of Death, Deception, and Infiltration, is a hammer and sickle dismantling of the diabolical character of Karl Marx (1818-1883). As Michael Knowles writes in the book’s foreword, “Kengor knows, like few others writing today, that terms such as collectivism and individualism only take the debate so far. . . .Ultimately the fight comes down to spiritual warfare: good versus evil.”
