Is Trump just absolutely blowing this right now?

I mean, okay, he busted into Venezuela and captured Maduro. Maduro was an illegitimate leader, and pretty much everyone agreed that he was a piece of shit, although obviously not everyone agreed about what to do with him. I can see how a lot of Americans would be rah-rah-rah over the action Trump took.

But now Trump is out there at a press conference seemingly making things up as he goes along. We're going to run the country. We're going to have boots on the ground. We're going to take their oil and the oil companies will pay for everything.

Rubio already said that "this is over," presumably assuming that that WAS the plan. Rubio also said, "this was just a police action." Now Trump seems to be making up strategy and policy on the fly, talking about occupying Venezuela with American troops on the ground, stealing their oil, and threatening other countries. He seems out of control and looks like he's making this shit up as he goes along.

Did Rubio know that he was going to be named joint ruler of Venezuela before this press conference started?

Earl, just shut up. You're the one blowing this. Are you going to keep up your TDS ranting while ignoring the celebrations in Venezuela right now? Who do you think has the better vantage point? Are you more enlightened to their struggles than them? I'm guessing "NO".

There are a bunch of democrats meeting this minute for the sole purpose of making this another "Trump Bad" thing. Try not to be one of them.

Where are the Democrats to tell us about "TACO" Don now?

First all, President Trump DID NOT SAY that we'd have "boots on the ground."

SquirrelG, a pompous prick who is the perfect Beta lefty to run that hilarious site.

I'd be willing to bet that most non-cartel Venezuelans would rather be ruled by Rubio than Maduro.

"I don't know how, but a rapidly growing economy, low inflation, secure borders, government reform, and respect for the United States on the international stage has to be bad for Trump somehow."

He can't keep getting away with it!
