We are going to run the country
Poorly, I’m sure. But most importantly it will be without the consent of the Venezuelan people. Not that he, or the Americans who support him, care.
he is going to play runescape
I could absolutely see trump trimming armor
Jesus Christ this guy
I watched the whole thing.
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.
Cue “I declare bankruptcy!” GIF
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”
Friend, don’t shoot the messenger. I am just paraphrasing what he said in the speech.
Run the country?!
That dickhead couldn’t even run a bath
That’s a totally normal and very modern and democratic thing to do
If 23 years ago counts as “modern,” yes.
Since he’s running the country, how much effort is being sent on Tren de Agua or any of the other gangs he’s been so adamant are ruining the United states?
He might legitimately purge them. Or commit genocide. Or just give the country to the oil companies sponsoring him. Hard to say
Trump will start a deal with those gangs
Does that mean we’re sending ICE there?
Deport all those Mexicans in Venezuela back to, uh, somewhere!

Imagine if Putin had done that to Ukraine
They have tried and failed to capture/kill him and his family multiple times.
Hell, just last week they said he’d have to be in hiding forever.
Maduro and Trump are friends
Maduro gets to escape his country and save face instead of being assassinated or executed.
Trump gets to manufacture a conflict so he can start martial law and become a dictator, and to distract from us learning he came inside little girls.
