    I don't trust - or even agree with a lot of his views - but Tucker Carlson of all people asked the same question..... and basically said that he believes that removing Maduro, and what Trump and his administration has said about why they did it, means we are entering the empire building stage of the USA.

    I know a lot of people are excited and proud of it, but it is very short sighted. It will cause an increased risk of harm within the USA, it will result in more isolation, limit Americans ability to travel and potentially result in economic problems and set the stage for a war.

    I just think that the post World War II order is falling apart, because all of those that lived through it are dead and lessons learned are gone.

    All the MAGA supporters in the D&D told me that Trump was embracing an isolationist foreign policy.

    But the US is baiting conflict with Russia, removed the President of Venezuela and is again discussing military intervention for Greenland.

    Very weird - very weird indeed.

    Is Trump an isolationist or imperialist? Don't evade.

    To answer your question, I have never believed that Trump worked for Putin - however, since the second year of Trump's term I have felt and concluded that Trump is incompetent. I don't think that Putin is some amazing genius either, he is a thug that is good at accumulating power and taking advantage of his own people....... so if anything, he and Trump are similar.

    Then why is he seizing Russian assets and overthrowing Russian backed dictators if he is "Putins stooge" as you people love to claim?

    Trump over the course of his two administrations has both drawn down/removed the United States from foreign entanglements and gone out and gotten us involved in new ones.

    So, both, apparently.

    Not true.
    He is only keeping the oil to complete his soon to be built Presidential library diorama. Goes nice and bigly next to his new gifted airplane.

    We pulled out of 66 of international/UN groups today, including:

    U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change
    United Nations Population Fund
    Carbon Free Energy Compact
    United Nations University
    International Cotton Advisory Committee
    International Tropical Timber Organization
    Partnership for Atlantic Cooperation
    Pan-American Institute for Geography and History
    International Federation of Arts Councils and Culture Agencies
    International Lead and Zinc Study Group

    The White House refused to release a list of all 66 organizations targeted. This occurs after earlier withdrawals from the World Health Organization and the UN Human Rights Council.

    I'd agree with those takes, also not watching video. But, isn't the proper recourse for obstruction an indictment for obstruction? In no case is the proper legal remedy to barricade a business to deny it customers.

    He's definitely getting some kind of IV infusion in his hands. I can't find it now, but there are zoomed in photos out there where you can see the needle marks on the top of the hand.

    I'd also like to repeat that he's taken the MoCA cognative impirment test 3 or 4 times this year which is totally not normal. Reading the literature, the only time you take it that often is when you are tracking the progression of a cognative deficit. You don't screen a healthy person every 3 months.

    I'm pretty sure Steven Miller is the defacto President at this point.

    What a disaster.

    Most divisive President since at least Andrew Jackson, if not ever.

    By far the most divided I have seen the American people.

    Corrupt - doesn't believe in checks and balances.

    Lacks any real coherent vision other than doing whatever it takes to divert people away from figuring out he is the man behind the curtain.

    He and his group of wannabe authoritarians are parasites on this earth.
