What caused the Great Depression?
Most people would say the stock market crash of 1929. That was probably the No. 1 factor, but the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 made it worse. The act raised tariffs on over 20,000 imported goods by almost 60%. /1

Maduro is a dictator and Venezuelans have fled for decades. But Trump’s actions aren’t about human rights or election results. They’re about control of Venezuela’s oil. He just proved he’ll use blatant lies as a pretext to seize leaders who won’t comply.
Trump and his cronies can try to dress this up, but it is an illegal act of war to replace Maduro and grab Venezuela's oil for his billionaire buddies.
