And Trump is only president for a minority, a few people, not everyone. He’s been very clear he hates his enemies, and withholds funds and benefits for States that didn’t vote for him.
Essentially when it’s all stripped down, to say he’s president, vastly, mainly for himself, is entirely accurate.

Trump was impressed by Miller in their recent group brainstorms because Miller was the only one who had been formulating numerous detailed plans for vicious reprisals if occupying US 🇺🇸 forces are attacked by the occupied
Miller said he of course didn’t want to round up all the village men, but …..

“We’re keeping the oil”.
Butcher-Rapist Putin is butchering and raping Ukraine 🇺🇦, and now his friend, acolyte, and ally, Rapist Trump, has now started to rape and butcher Venezuela 🇻🇪
Americans 🇺🇸, where does Trump and the ghastly Miller get that authority ?
From you ?

He’s a full-blown ghastly idiot.
The US 🇺🇸 has no right to Venezuelan 🇻🇪 oil, or any other of Venezuela’s resources.
Only a pathetic shameful total idiot would or could think it does.

No, you can keep your precious shitty murderous president all to yourselves.
We 🇨🇦 don’t want him.
You wouldn’t understand.

Stealing Venezuelan 🇻🇪 oil.
The US 🇺🇸 has absolutely no legal right to any of Venezuela’s oil, or any other resources.
If Trump thinks he does have a right to Venezuela’s resources, in this respect at least, he is every bit as bad and egregious as Führer Herr Hitler.

Anyone advocating regime change in Venezuela is implicitly advocating for a long, bloody, expensive commitment—whether they acknowledge it or not. ICYMI @markhertling.bsky.social:
What ‘Regime Change’ in Venezuela Would Really Mean
It’s not clear the administration has settled on a goal, much less considered the consequences.

The MAGA regime was ordered to explain to Congress today why they illegally made redactions in the Epstein Files, just in case you needed more context as to why they are bombing another country and murdering their citizens.

Xi and Butcher-Rapist Putin won’t be doing anything immediately.
They’ll both be too effectively incapacitated hysterically laughing with glee at the American 🇺🇸 buffoon.

When Democrats eventually ask Trump - (Republicans certainly won’t ask him) - how he’s going to pay for this fiasco/quagmire, he’ll virtually certainly say “by selling Venezuela oil”.
But if the US seizure of Venezuela’s 🇻🇪 oil doesn’t qualify as theft, nothing does.
It’s the epitome of theft.

However, hope has to spring eternal, and perhaps, miraculously, against all odds, some of the Republicans who retain some sanity, actually join with the Democrats, to stop this blithering madman, before he kills us all.

A Mad King has usurped the power of Congress—which represents the American people. That is, he has seized power that belongs to you and me collectively. He has declared war without consultation with or approval from Congress. And with no imminent threat. This is a profound betrayal of the republic.

In my era there’s been the disgraceful slime-ball Gulf of Tonkin incident/scam which kicked off the brain dead Vietnam War, and the slime-ball WMD scam which started the equally brain dead Iraq War, but there’s never been anything close to, as ludicrous, egregious, and unjustified, as this.
