Suddenly, the applause he gave on that red-carpeted airport tarmac makes a lot more sense. 🤡
“In days after Alaska, a European intel agency distributed a hard-copy report in an envelope to some of the continent’s most senior national security officials, who were shocked by the contents: Inside were details of the commercial and economic plans the Trump admin had been pursuing with Russia.”
Make Money Not War: Trump’s Real Plan for Peace in Ukraine
The Kremlin pitched the White House on peace through business. To Europe’s dismay, the president and his envoy are on board.

Trump just shut down the airspace around Venezuela.
Yet pardoning former Honduran President Hernández, convicted of moving more than 400 tons of cocaine through the US.
Let that simmer for a moment.
That's 1/3 of the cocaine Colombia produced at its height.
Is this far enough for you, MAGA?

Trump has shut down the airspace surrounding Venezuela.
Legally he can't.
Yet airlines will redirect because they know Trump is as psychotic as Escobar and will order a plane to be shot down.
Flightradar24 has already shown that the airspace has been avoided by most airlines the past few days.

US says Venezuela’s airspace ‘closed’ as fears of armed conflict rise
No immediate response from Venezuela after President Trump’s makes the announcement on social media on Saturday.

He’s threatening a fake cartel in a country sitting on a ton of oil while freeing an actual narcotrafficking ex-president who he likes. This isn’t hard to understand unless you want to make it hard to understand.

So Trump is getting “tough” on drug trafficking by pardoning a convicted drug trafficker, former president of #Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernández. Pardon a right-wing trafficker & topple a left-wing one, seems to be the policy! 🙄😓
