    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.
