Trump's Second Term

[Resume]

It's almost as it the FIFA peace prize was a McDonalds kid's meal prize.

The Kid's meal prize would be better for Trump because it comes with a burger.

Roughly equivalent. A shiny thing with no actual meaning to make Piggy happy.

... But when Trump heard a rumour that Ukraine had gone after Putin, who is literally making war on them, he didn't like that at all.

What they should have done is kidnap Putin and then drag him off to somewhere under Ukrainian jurisdiction. That makes if okay. And they could charge Putin with owning machine guns too. I bet he has millions of machine guns.

Trump is more likely to kidnap Zelenskyy.

Corruption and perversion is MAGA's MO, after all.

• The US president says the US is going to "run" Venezuela "until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition"
• He says no US servicemen were killed in the operation and the US is "ready" to stage a second "and much larger" attack on the country if needed

Colonialism? Now Trump gets control of Venezuela's oil. Perhaps there will be a great new Trump hotel casino and golf course on the Caribbean coast. I assume that state assets will be privatised and end up owned by US companies.

Likely the US will dollarize the economy.

No doubt Venezuela will now be accessible to ICE for deportations.

Irony is just one of the mineral resources he wants to steal.

"For might makes right
And till they've seen the light
They've got to be protected
All their rights respected
Till somebody we like can be elected"

Rubio is now going to run the US and Venezuela. And Trump fired congress, because Congress leaks. Congress not needed for the rest of the term. Also, Midnight Hammer (B-2) bombers will hit any country that is not cooperating and is not the EU.

He says it's a partnership

Trump: "This partnership of Venezuela with the United States of America, a country that everybody wants to be involved with because of what we're able to do and accomplish, will make the people of Venezuela rich, independent, and safe."

He has been studying propaganda at the feet of Putin. And the Goebbels influence is still strong among fascists.

Trump on Russia-Ukraine: "They both have done some pretty bad things. Look, that's Biden's war. That's not my war."

Biden!

Q: You said that Maduro is responsible for drug trafficking. You recently pardoned the former president of Honduras who was convicted of drug trafficking. How are these situations different?

TRUMP: This was a man who was persecuted very unfairly by Biden. Obviously the people liked what I did

Cuba next?

Trump: "I think Cuba is gonna be something we'll end up talking about, because Cuba is a failing nation. It's very similar"

Everybody you have asked so far has emphatically indicated this is not true.
