He'll be on a plane to Venezuela as soon as noon on January 20, 2029.
He wants all the oil for himself, and he wants to be the leader of Venezuela so that when the US seeks to have him extradited back to the US to face trial for his crimes here, he can just say no.

It was reported that he was "joking" about this. I'd bet the farm he wasn't joking. Venezuela has more oil than Saudi Arabia....Trump can't resist the idea of having that as his own.
He never joked. He just says the outrageous things he's thinking about and only says it joking when he gets caught.

(9,109 posts)not things that will never happen except in the diseased imagination of a certifiable loon with far too many people hanging on his every word.
If people let Trump keep yanking their chains, they'll exhaust themselves. And meanwhile, he'll be up to his latest shenanigans in real life.

But St. Peter could teach him Spanish, starting with "Mi casa no es tu casa."

But when he spouts evil, I take him at his word.
P.S. Could you adjust the date to April 7, 2026?
