Why not? He got a peace prize awarded to him just the other day, didn’t he?
“Mr. Trump, here’s one-third of a trophy.”
“One third? Where’s the rest of it?”
“Well, we heard you wanted a piece prize …”
Ba-dum-tshhh!
I bet as soon as he (temporarily) stops bombing Caracas he will claim to single handedly have ended yet another war. Eight so far, plus one that makes twelve or thirteen, right? (Sorry, run out of fingers to count. Nobody knew it was this hard)
I am not sure this deserves its own thread or not, but Trump claims Maduro has been captured:

He will certainly point out that, having captured Maduro, no more fentanyl is being smuggled from Venezuela.
As I’m sure you know, most illegal drug exports from Venezuela are cocaine to Europe. Not much fentanyl to the US.
(I take your post as a joke — yes, after Maduro’s ouster, there will be little fentanyl exported from Venezuela to the US. Same with moon rocks, and Macgiffins!)
It didn’t take long for Trump to say “oil” following our attack on Venezuela.
Also, the what files?
I’m reading the excerpts in The NY Times, including this:
“We are going to run the country until such time that we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition,” Trump said, suggesting an occupation
.What did he say about “files”? Not Epstein, surely…
Yeah! More moon rocks for the rest of the world!
I don’t think he did. The point is the idea that this is all an intentional distraction away from the Epstein files.
Ah, got it. For sure.
From The NY Times;
In declaring that the U.S. will be “running” Venezuela, the president has raised a host of questions: Will the United States have an occupying military force? Will it install a pliant government for some number of years? Will it run the courts, and determine who pumps the oil? All of this, of course, could enmesh the United States in the kind of “forever wars” Trump’s MAGA base has rejected.
A lot of the dumber right wingers were talking about running the oil in Iraq.
And all of them about how we’d be greeted as saviors.
They’re still on about the oil (yeah…how’d that work out in Iraq, eh?) but nobody’s saying anything about saviors, so I guess they’ve learned at least one thing over the last 20 years?
In the mean time, thieves and child rapists still run our country. So, that’s still a thing, I guess.
I think that is a typo. Where they wrote running they meant ruining.
The terms “looting” and “strip-mining” come to mind.
There must be 50 ways to ruin a country.
trump knows them all from first hand experience. Looting and strip mining are just the beginning.
Let’s measure my dick, Nick…
Drill drill and drill, Phil
Dig a mine hole, Cole
Steal a banana, Fofanna
Take all the trees, Louise
And it will be yours
The President’s Brain Is Missing, international war crimes edition;
Don’t talk too much. Donnie might fall asleep.
White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles has joined others in addressing the situation. “Wiles and others have urged cabinet members to shorten their presentations, according to administration officials,” the report notes, representing an attempt to minimize extended periods requiring Trump’s sustained attention.
