He's got a growing list besides Greenland. Rubio just said Cuba is their next regime change, while Drumpf just added Colombia. He also threatened Mexico and wants Nigeria and the Panama Canal. Funny how he would never go after China ...a huge player when it comes to drugs. Oh, yeah, Xi would retaliate big time. That's why. He only goes after those who are weaker than him because he's a coward and a bully.

China is not in the grand scheme for takeover of the Western Hemisphere under the billionaire Project 2025 agenda. The spoils of exploitation for profit are to be divided up into three segments: the Western Hemisphere by the U.S.; Europe by Russia; and Asia goes to China. It's all been pre-arranged between the deranged dictators of said political spheres of influence.

Completely spot on. Internationally America looks like a country full of assholes and dumbasses. It will take years for us to get out of the financial s*** hole he put us in. Forever will be trying to defend our reputation.

Invasion of Latin America

Dear intelligent friends no offence to those who may not understand. They real truth for this invasion of aggression by Trump and his administration is take over Venezuela first to use the excuse of Naco-Terrorism but make a regime change so as to control OIL and steal it from the Venezuelan people and supply to USA and bring the price of Gas down Americans. The next most corrupt reason to harvest RARE EARTH MINERALS that Venezuela has for the manufacturing of weapons and planes to strengthen the USA military. As USA are not able to get these minerals from China. Third; TRUMP wants to invade Panama Cuba and Nicaragua so he can control most of Latin America have their leaders capitulate to USA agendas and not allow them to cooperate with China! USA has gone rogue, a President who thinks he is KING of the World and nation has to bow to him. But the world knows he is the biggest CORRUPT COWARD who preys on small weak countries. But he is afraid of Russia, China, North Korea which he will never mess with.

According the the liar-in-chief, the Venezuelans "stole" their own resources from corporate America years ago. Here's the AI Summary of the actiual reality. Bottom line is that tRump is taking "America FIrst" to a level of insane frenzy.... common with people who weild too much power.

Question: did the venezuelans steal oil from us corporations

Venezuela did not "steal" oil from U.S. corporations; the country nationalized its oil industry in a process consistent with international law, leading to a long history of contract renegotiations and international arbitration.

Key Details

Sovereignty over Resources: Under international law and the UN principle of permanent sovereignty over natural resources, a sovereign state has the right to control the natural resources within its territory. The oil in Venezuelan soil has always belonged to Venezuela as a nation.

Nationalization Process:

1976 Nationalization: The Venezuelan government nationalized its oil industry, effectively revoking operating concessions granted to foreign companies (including Exxon, Mobil, and Gulf Oil) in the early 20th century. The government agreed to pay around $1 billion in compensation to the affected U.S. firms.

2007 Expropriations: Then-President Hugo Chávez exerted further state control by requiring foreign companies to accept joint ventures where the state-owned firm, Petróleos de Venezuela SA (PDVSA), held at least a 50% stake. Most companies accepted the terms; however, ExxonMobil and ConocoPhillips declined and had their assets expropriated (seized).

Arbitration and Compensation: The expropriations triggered international arbitration procedures. International tribunals ordered Venezuela to pay billions of dollars in compensation to the companies, some of which remains unpaid. The claim that Venezuela "stole" the oil is typically linked to these unpaid compensation awards.

Current Status: U.S. oil company Chevron is the only major foreign firm still operating in Venezuela through a joint venture with PDVSA, under special U.S. sanctions waivers.

In summary, Venezuela legally nationalized its industry and assets, but disputes arose over the adequate and timely compensation for the U.S. companies involved.

Thank you for the insight of the oil industry in Venezuela. Seems like the Trump administration is clearly in cahoots with the US oil companies to take over Venezuela oil and rare earths so they can all pocket the billions especially Trumps family!

He hates her, just as he hates everyone who is better than him. She is a constant reminder of his failure to win the Nobel Peace Prize, and she will forever be in his crosshairs for not refusing it and demanding that it be given to him instead. Typical delusional crybaby reaction.

Trump can be taken down by pen.

Pen is mightier than anything else. All Americans must write to their state legislation to get together signatures for recall of the president of the United States for not obeying the US constitution, he was sworn to protect when he took the oath for being president, and not become a dictator of America.

One major problem is Democrats had 5 years to get rid of Trump and never have him become president agabut it didn't happen.

Democrats failed the real constitution just like what Trump is doing to our country. Trump is making it worse not better. His lies have made the US taxpayers pay for his destruction for years all for absolutely nothing he will do about it. Democrats failed so now what Republicans will not do anything about Trump. We the people must get potions to recall all Republicans and recall Trump for a new President to be elected not his any of Trump's petition for recall or all congress and President Trump

It is Trump which his Presidential election got to his head so he could control every American for what he wants which is dictatorship for control which next president must clean up but it will take many years to clean up. Petition to recall Trump we have a right and Trump will never see it. The constitution says we the people not I the president.

I'm a retired long experienced physician/psychiatrist and recently saw a questionable net post giving Trump's IQ: "73". AI has taken over Google searches, and it links to several debunking references. The truth? Who the hell knows? However, DJT's behavior syncs with a "low IQ", a projection he often shows when referencing prominent folks who challenge him and his accusation of "low IQ" is very revealing to anyone with even a minimal knowledge of psychology. So, hmmmmm? 73? BTW, there is no such DSM dx. as "malignant narcissism" or "psychopath". Have a blessed day.

This was the first thing in my inbox this morning. I adore the vivid imagery and description. I chuckled hard! 😂 Sadly, this is not a laughing matter. You're entirely correct. Tradonaldaopalobakist is a pirate of expounding proportion, has zero respect for the rule of law, what little has been established here, and which applies to him, and is dragging America and its name through the mud to establish a personal world conquest and to bring all credit back to himself. He is psychopath in every sense of the word, in my not so professional opinion. A domestic terrorist, who doesn't give a shit about anyone's peace as long as it makes his own name bigger. I don't exactly 😕 know how to deal with such a character, but the humor and wit is certianly doing a trick! Calling attention to his mis-blames and chipping away at his facade of excellence. Somebody should start lining a cell in gold somewhere. Forgiving him so readily for violating our own laws here has only propelled him to violating international laws and laws of commonsense, that now he is bringing us all with him into his desent, as accessories. We have released a Tyrant upon the world. It will never be us versus them, but I would be overjoyed to side-step some of the madness and have a true leader that isn't hell bent on world and self destruction. God bless your morning, and i'm praying for the release 🙏🏻 of the hostages. When it comes to stapolopokistrumpadopakis, we as a whole must learn to JUST SAY NO!
