How #MarcoRubio Is Running #Venezuela From Afar

The secretary of state effectively controls Venezuela’s finances, the distribution of its natural resources & its government. His grip on the country is a vivid manifestation of #US power in the #Trump era.

Sociopath

#Trump Saturday said that he would “push hard” to enact #legislation that would offer #payouts to people “badly treated” by the #Obama & #Biden admins, his latest threat to resurrect his illegal #SlushFund.

“It will immediately be back on the table, & I will get it done,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, vowing to pass “the Anti-Weaponization Bill.”

#Trump threatens to #bomb #US #ally #Oman as #Iran agreement expires

Trump threatened today to attack Oman if it interferes with US efforts in the #StraitOfHormuz, as the conflict with Iran continues & a 2-month window for peace talks expires without a path to end the war.

“If Oman gets in the way, we’ll bomb the shit out of them,” Trump said vulgarly in an interview with FauxNews.

Insane Mafioso #Trump threatens to prevent #US from trading with many countries unless the #FederalReserve lowers #InterestRates

“LOWER THE RATE OR I’LL STOP TRADING WITH COUNTRIES WITH WHICH WE HAVE A DEFICIT, which the U.S. Supreme Court, in its ridiculous & very costly Tariff decision, strongly acknowledged ‘the President’ has an absolute right to do. IT’S BETTER THAN TARIFFS!”Trump posted on Truth Social.
