Live presser and Two Scoops threatens Venezuela with military action

[Stinky The Clown]

He KNOWS the FBI has his ass in its sights.

Dick wagging is the deflection.

Wagging the dog

[underpants]

1. Um, we already know he's a bully

He doesn't realize how muted his words become when every time something comes up it's ATTACK!

[htuttle]

2. Interesting -- just read about Russia snapping up their oil assets today

3. Follow-up Question:

"Mr. President, when you threatened Venezuela just now, was that supposed to be a joke?"

"Was that a joke?" should be every follow-up question he gets asked until he stops the flippancy.

President Sarcastic Teen.

[Angry Dragon]

10. everything he says is a joke

[maxsolomon]

21. in that he is flippant when it is uncalled for, yes

I just want reporters to call him on his lame jokes.

ask: what that supposed to be funny?

[Angry Dragon]

22. I can not ever recall Trump uttering words that came close to being a joke

[maxsolomon]

24. its not funny to me, either

but watch his rallies. they're rolling in the aisles. I know my aunt, uncle, and cousins all saw him multiple times in Cincy. and they were pumped, exhilarated at the experience, like they'd seen a rock star. like I'd have been after a Sarah Silverman show.

he says the things they resent being constrained from saying in Obama's America. "common sense" that is actually bigoted ignorance. laughing at SJWs, snowflakes, libtards, feminazis, etc ad nauseum. demonizing what they can't understand, and what they fear.

this is the Fascist impulse playing out.

[Angry Dragon]

25. Trump gave them their voice ...... gave them legitamacy

and he is going to find it hard to put the cork back into them

[maxsolomon]

27. my relatives won't be the ones in the streets

too old, too bourgeois. all they really care about is abortions and low taxes.

but the genie of fascism is certainly out of the bottle.

[hrmjustin]

4. Trump is so stupid!

This plays right into the dictator Maduro's hands!

[procon]

5. In what way does Venezuela pose any threat to our national security?

More likely, Trump is taking a page from the Bush playbook and looking for a way to steal their oil and rake in unlimited donations from a grateful fossil fuel industry.

[gratuitous]

7. When the only tool you know how to use is a hammer

Everything looks like a nail. I'm looking forward to President Trump threatening military action against Congress.

[leftstreet]

9. snarf

okay that made me laugh out loud

[procon]

11. Or the DNC. nt

[madokie]

8. Its all about OUR oil under their soil

or our oil companies think that anyway

Advice: Never believe anything read or heard coming out of Venezuela by our or the British press. You can take that to the bank

[htuttle]

12. Rosneft already owns their oil

But I'm sure they wouldn't mind some help from our military to make Venezuela safe to pump it out.

[SweetieD]

6. How soon before we see Trump in a military uniform. Because that is where we are headed.

Generalissimo Trump.

[procon]

13. Trump has already ordered his new uniform.

[smirkymonkey]

14. Is there a link for this?

I haven't heard anything about it yet. Not that I doubt you, but I can't believe this idiot is going off again on another country.

[blaze]

15. There are several now.

This, from Politico

[smirkymonkey]

19. I can't effing believe this idiot.

Will somebody PLEASE stop him now? I heard him threaten Iran on CNN the other day too. He is hell bent on getting us into a war with somebody. He will do anything to distract from his own crimes. The man is the greatest threat to peace in the world today.

[anneboleyn]

17. Yep, I heard it live. It's embarrassing and scary.

[smirkymonkey]

20. What a disaster!

The republicans need to grow up and stop this man. He is going to start a war with some nation. It's only a matter of time. I am sick to my stomach over this. I go to bed every night expecting that I am going to wake up the next morning reading the headline "WAR". He will do anything to get his scandals out of the headlines.

[Binkie The Clown]

16. Next he'll threaten the New York Times with military action! n/t

[GallopingGhost]

18. Too bad Donnie didn't serve in Vietnam

when he had the chance, since he loves military action so much.

[Angry Dragon]

23. who knew war could be so hard??

[GallopingGhost]

26. Yeah.

And he "loves war."

How the f*ck would he know?
