How many times can a criminal dodge a question?
STEPHANOPOULOS: Trump said the US is going to 'run Venezuela.' Under what legal authority?

RUBIO: We want a better future for the people of Venezuela

STEPHANOPOULOS: I'll ask again -- what is the legal authority?

RUBIO: We have court orders

Donald Trump cannot be trusted to lead America into war. He is unaccountable to America. He is lawless. He only seeks conflict to cover up for his failures. Congress must step up and reassert its power. No more forever wars.

"Trump didn't mention Venezuela’s opposition politicians, the legitimate winners of its 2024 election, by name. He said the US intended to govern Venezuela. “We’re going to run the country, until such time as we can do a safe, proper, and judicious transition". www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

Trump’s apparent violation of international law will almost certainly go unpunished, but the rules and norms will be missed.

He's literally set himself up as Ruler of Venezuela.

George Bush at least got a congressional resolution and an attempt at a UN resolution before invading and occupying Iraq.

Trump didn't even consult with the Gang of 8 in Congress and now declares himself the ruler. Sheesh.
