Donald Trump has said he might block ExxonMobil from investing in Venezuela after the oil company’s chief executive called the country “uninvestable” during a White House meeting last week.
Darren Woods told the US president that Venezuela would need to change its laws before it could be an attractive investment opportunity, during the high-profile meeting on Friday with at least 17 other oil executives.
Woods’ sceptical remarks quickly emerged as the dominant headline, undercutting the White House’s hopes of building momentum from its engagement with the world’s most prominent oil executives.
"I didn’t like Exxon’s response,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One on his way back to Washington on Sunday. “I’ll probably be inclined to keep Exxon out. I didn’t like their response. They’re playing too cute.”
Exxon did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
“I’m not showing up to your party.”
“Well fuck you, I’m not inviting you then!”
OK?
Seriously, Americans, how the fuck did this guy win two elections? Please make it make sense.
If you are brave enough watch fox news and it might explain why. The facts run scared, the conspiracy theories are king, and hate grows on trees.
Grandma and grandpa didn’t die fast enough.
Bullshit, Trump won the young votes too.
Yay pod casts.
Thanks Joe Rogan!
It was the young vote that did it sadly.
Yes, and I’m so tired of hearing people blame every political illness on the older generations.
In the 70’s we had peace movements and protests to make a better world like nothing you see today.
As I see it, it’s the young generations that are failing today. There is no idealism, no goals for a better future that they fight for.
He’s basically an amalgamation of all the worst qualities of the average American. He represents more Americans than he doesn’t. This is something we Americans need to come to terms with since a lot of us are in denial about that.
yup, it really shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone truly familiar with america as a whole, anyone not stuck in a bubble.
dumb as shit and the only reason for relevance is his daddy’s name, yet completely convinced of his own superiority. that shit is about as universal as it gets in america. and it’s the perfect setup to run a puppet government
the extra funny/sad part is that all it would take for dems or anyone else to beat em is just…be authentic, for once in their miserable lives. that’s literally all it takes, but these coastal elites who have been trained their whole lives to be career politicians are completely incapable of that because they’re barely human anymore.
had kamala stuck to her “free universal healthcare” shtick instead of flip-flopping immediately once her campaign advisors told her that was polling bad with their donors, she would have won.
americans were promised “hope and change” by Obama and all they got was more corporate kickbacks and pointless wars, establishment politicians seem convinced things can still “return to normal” (ie. unsustainable ratfucking) when trump is gone which is why they’re doing the absolute minimum to stop him and co. now
personally…i think shit goes from bad to much worse when/if he croaks mid term.
She didn’t really flip flop. She had a working plan to take steps toward universal healthcare/Medicare for all that acknowledged the political realities of instituting such a system with republican pushback, but the Dems genuinely do suck ass at messaging so that got lost in the sauce. Her platform never really shifted throughout the campaign, just the PR. Which yeah was a bad move but the fix was already in anyway.

The only viable opposition party is deeply corrupt and doesn’t know how to campaign anymore
Trump has the baton of a 6 year old bully
Regime change costs money and blood. It would be so funny for oil companies to send a bunch of people down there only for them to get merced
They should send their CEOs to scout it out. I hear there’s oil deeeeeep in the woods
For oil companies that help steal Venezuelan resources, I’d like to say I’ll join the boycott …. But I already drive an EV and all the other products generated from that do not have a clear line back to them
“How dare you distract from distraction!! Now people will start talking about all those child rapes I did with my best friend Jeffery Epstein again!!!”
Trump watches Landman and obviously knows better than ExxonMobil.
Nice guy Trump
