Trump is trying to change how the midterm elections are conducted
Many of these endeavors go far beyond typical political persuasion, challenging long-established democratic norms.

Trump and Rubio are doing such a great job running Venezuela that the U.S. is now warning Americans to leave Venezuela to escape armed militias.
And they want companies to go to Venezuela? No way companies will do that.

The US is also effectively telling *Venezuelans* to flee Venezuela, because those paramilitary threats apply even more to them. So Trump’s action will likely *increase* the 8 million who’re fled, a small but significant proportion of whom enter the US causing the “problem” he promised to solve

Trump’s desire to “takeover Greenland the hard way if necessary,” is threatening the alliances of NATO and follows Putin’s playbook of destabilizing the UK and EU. In fact, Trump often sides w/ Putin, who likes seeing Trump dismantling American institutions and fomenting violent unrest amongst us.
