Yeah. For all of Trump’s Trumpiness, at least he’s direct. There’s no euphamism: he stated he’s running Venezuela, at least 3 times just in case it wasn’t clear. He wants the “right” kind of ruler to take over. He reiterated that US oil companies are coming in to rebuild their infrastructure, repeatedly. He cited the Monroe doctrine.
There’s no pretense.
I think this (frankly) refreshing bluntness is what makes the bits of disinformation so effective.
I don’t understand how after listening to him talk you can think “yes the us is running Venezuela now”
A president has attacked a sovereign nation with no authorization from Congress, kidnapped its head of state for no other reason than “making money from oil” and uhh drugs I guess. But legitimacy of the whole thing aside, do you think he’s competent enough to “run” a whole other country?
And how do you imagine the average Venezuelan is taking this? “Oh welp guess we are ‘run’ by the Americans now, better go apply for a job at Exxon”
I watched the whole thing.

Friend, don’t shoot the messenger. I am just paraphrasing what he said in the speech.
