It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

🧵 — as Elon + others share A.I. slop videos of Venezuelans, polls show a split between Venezuelans at home (mostly AGAINST Trump’s attack and kidnapping of Maduro) and Venezuelans abroad (more are FOR it) —> x.com/dropsitenews...

The indictment doesn’t mention oil or fentanyl. Just cocaine. (After he just pardoned the president of Honduras)

Trump openly frames military force as a commercial acquisition tool. You can’t credibly argue limited self defense, LE action, narrow authorization, or emergency necessity while simultaneously describing infrastructure takeover, profit generation, corporate involvement, and follow-on strikes.
Trump: "We're going to have our very large United States oil companies go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure and start making money for the country. And we are ready to stage a second and much larger attack if we need to do so."

Where is our Congress??? John Roberts & his SCOTUS have done so much damage by declaring a president immune from our laws.
As a citizen I do not agree with this Venezuelan war of Trump's.
Stay focused. This is all to avoid the Epstein files, videos and photos.

A state service branded to the leader is a hallmark of personalist governance. Benefits appear to flow from Trump, not the institution. Citizens are repositioned as clients. Well-being becomes linked to political allegiance. The Constitution recedes, and Trump becomes the perceived gatekeeper.
