Does trumpster now try to use frozen Venezuela 💲💲 to siphon towards his wall?😂😂😂

But the Wapo still insists everything is “AOK” in Venezuela. 😏

Trump wants the OIL OIL OIL

He needs to step down for the good of his ppl.

American first? Right? Sounds like globalism to me.

Now do Putin.

The Iraq of the Western Hemisphere and the Chicken-hawks are chirping. Here we go...

Awesome! Socialism starves children!
