Donald Trump is a fraud and a bully. He sends out ICE agents to grab defenseless people and lock them in private prisons funded by the U.S. government. These private prisons have reaped millions in profits, my tax dollars and yours.
Like Hitler, Trump wants to control huge portions of the world. Hitler’s first step was to take Czechoslovakia because he wanted the iron, oil etc., as well as the food Germany couldn’t provide for its citizens. Now Trump has seized Venezuela saying U.S. oil companies will control their oil. There was no mention by Trump of improving the lives of Venezuelan citizens. His sights continue on Greenland, Gaza and other rich resource areas. Both the oil companies and private prisons continue to send money to support Trump’s MAGA PAC and personal projects.
Trump says he arrested Maduro because he is a drug king, yet he has pardoned a man convicted of bringing 400 tons of cocaine into the U.S. He says Maduro is a dictator, but welcomes the El Salvadoran dictator to the White House. He says neither Edmundo Gonzalez, elected in 2024 to be the Venezuelan president, nor Maria Machado, longtime opposition leader, can be president because they are not popular. In other words, Trump would not gain personally with them in office.
Everything Trump does is for personal gain. People who voted for this fraud should realize now they have been conned.
