Trump ran as an isolationist opposing foreign wars. Today's invasion of #Venezuela shows that was BS. Greenland may be next.

Europe misread Trump as an isolationist. It's now clear he's an imperialist.
Gaza, Panama, Canada, Venezuela and Greenland are all in the crosshairs of Trump's manifest destiny. Europeans thought the risk was America would leave them alone. Now the risk is America will attack.

Then, Trump’s administration didn’t take action on 40 investigations and killed cases involving Tesla, Space X, and Neuralink — saving Elon billions.
The $291 million was a bribe.
