Trump said that Venezuela’s new leader, Delcy Rodríguez, would help the United States run Venezuela. She quickly said the opposite.
Trump said Delcy Rodríguez was sworn in as Venezuela’s interim president and would act as a partner in letting the United States run the country.
“She’s essentially willing to do what we think is necessary to make Venezuela great again,” he said.
Less than two hours later, Ms. Rodríguez — who was Nicolás Maduro’s vice president — delivered a televised address to Venezuela that made clear she viewed the United States as an illegal invader that must be rejected.
Say you’re living in a house with a shitty landlord. The local mobster turns up at his house, beats him up, and steals the keys to his tenants’ houses. The tenants cheer! The mobster then proceeds to turn up at your house, open the doors with the keys, and steals all your shit.
The mobster is not on your side and never was.
Note that “all your shit” includes your copper plumbing and wiring so your house is uninhabitable. He probably tracked in a bunch of PFAS and other toxic stuff all over your garden too. And left an upper decker in your toilet for good measure.
And then his friends companies will offer to replace your copper pipes with some shit that’s illegal in their home town
ah the 'ol upper decker!
hit em where it hurts (and where they can’t see it, only smell it. well except for the toilet that keeps flushing brown)
