Trump is meddling in Venezuela with a new Executive Order.

Live on MSNBC

LOL -- they are condemning Venezuela for corruption and cronyism. This is about shoring up Big Oil's profit interests in Venezuela.

Venezuela is a "threat" to the US.

Protections for financial investors.

US companies can continue to trade with Venezuela.

From today on the rest of the world is not to visit us, do any trade with us, etc.

We are too dangerous to the world and have to be dealt with somehow.

For real.

Big wet kiss to Rexy as the oil platforms are being swamped in the gulf.
Beyond disgusting.

TPTB must be okay with all of this otherwise the MSM gloves would come off and they would carve 45 into bite sized chunks as they have done with any other president that stepped over the line... this guy ? they just let him roll over everything.

Oh goody! If Trump is demanding that Venezuela have free elections, when can the US expect to see an end the Republican gerrymandering and voter suppression laws?
