This is perhaps Trump’s clearest statement yet on how he thinks the world should work. In essence: If you’re in the Western Hemisphere, the U.S. has the right to make you fall in line. “It’s in our area. The Donroe Doctrine.”
Q: Back in 2016, you criticized the US being involved in regime change and nation building. You stance has changed on that TRUMP: This isn't a country on the other side of the world. This is Venezuela. It's in our area. The Donroe Doctrine

Why did Trump pick a left-wing authoritarian to rule Venezuela? Because the opposition leader won his peac prize. https://t.co/ZbcVJxo6qa

It’s not American oil. It’s Venezuelan oil. Oil companies entered into risky deals to develop oil, and the deals were canceled by a prior Venezuelan government. What’s happening: lives of US soldiers are being risked to make those oil companies (not Americans) more profitable.
You see a lot claims that Venezuela has nothing to do with drugs because most of the fentanyl comes from elsewhere. I want to address this: First off, fentanyl isn't the only drug in the world and there is still fentanyl coming from Venezuela (or at least there was). Second,

Venezuelans traded one illegitimate dictator for another who’s now controlled by a foreign regime that just wants their country’s oil. Doesn’t really seem like a win to me.
Reporter: Are you going to demand that Delcy Rodriguez allow opposition figures to return or free any political prisoners? Trump: We haven't gotten to that. Right now, we want to do is fix up the oil

Nice try, Marco
Reporter: Who’s in charge of Venezuela right now? Have you spoken to the newly sworn in President? Trump: We’re dealing with the people who just got sworn in. Don’t ask me who is in charge because I’ll give you an answer and it will be very controversial. Reporter: What does

Statements from Colin and Sophie Hortman, children of Mark and Melissa Hortman, after President Trump reposted false claims about their parents’ death. “I ask President Trump to please consider the pain and sadness we have faced,” Sophie said, asking him to remove it.

Made much of this point on Meet the Press. This is not a close call as a policy to criticize.
Let me get this straight: The President sent our military to bomb a country and overthrow its leader in an operation that killed at least 40 of its citizens only to keep in place that leader's repressive, illegitimate regime -- which can stay in power so long as they open their

And yes, it was only three Democrats somehow found the courage to go on background with Axios. But there are way too many cautious statements focused on Trump’s decision to cut out Congress (which is bad!) and not enough Dems just saying how fucking insane this is (with notable

Breaking: Rubio said the US Navy will keep up a "quarantine" of some Venezuelan oil exports to coerce Maduro's allies to open up the oil industry. A White House official said that's what Trump meant when he said the US will "run" Venezuela. It's the new gunboat diplomacy.

Trump will use extraordinary presidential power to help the elites but he never does anything to help the average person. Why not do DOJ investigations of Pharma, Big Banks, health insurers, etc? He always picks on the weak never the strong. Beta male.

I think it is genuinely worth saying that increasing the output of foreign oil producers is not economically beneficial to the United States in the way that it was 20-30 years ago.
Obviously not the most important thing here, but strikeing that the US has just avowedly started a war for oil when WTI is at “Texans committing suicide” levels
