They’re making up the Venezuela strategy as they go.
This sums it up…
“We’re fundamentally dealing with an unserious, immature Commander-in-Chief, which means we are seeing unserious policy decisions which are incredibly hard to actually analyze and discern what their purpose is.” Michael Feinberg

Believing that Venezuela is an island is the same kind of mindset that leads you to believe you can impose big tariffs on coffee and bananas.

Trump’s apologists defend his actions on Jan. 6, 2021 by claiming he merely told the mob to march “peacefully and patriotically.”
The truth: Trump’s speech writers added that phrase. It’s entirely inconsistent with the rest of his incendiary speech, which included about 20 uses of “fight.”
