“Nice country ya got there. If you’d like to keep it, you have to vote for our candidate.”

Blatant corruption of and interference in the upcoming election in Argentina. Trump only knows how to govern by using protection rackets.

Every one of these boat strikes is illegal, according to U.S. law & the Constitution, Venezuelan law, and international law. Without due process, they're just straight up murdering people. Why is the rest of the world seemingly being silent about it? I just don't understand how he gets away with it.

After Trump's odd behavior today in Egypt, praising Egyptian leader as his "favorite dictator", he "loves him", "he's been there since the beginning", including when he ran against "crooked Hillary", could it be the $10M US dollars, 200 lbs of cash, taken from National Bank of Egypt

$10M cash withdrawal drove secret probe into whether Trump took money from Egypt

Then political appointees shut the case down.
