Trump said that Venezuela’s new leader, Delcy Rodríguez, would help the United States run Venezuela. She quickly said the opposite.

Trump said Delcy Rodríguez was sworn in as Venezuela’s interim president and would act as a partner in letting the United States run the country.

“She’s essentially willing to do what we think is necessary to make Venezuela great again,” he said.

Less than two hours later, Ms. Rodríguez — who was Nicolás Maduro’s vice president — delivered a televised address to Venezuela that made clear she viewed the United States as an illegal invader that must be rejected.

      Brother, a South African Billionaire poured all the money he could into the last election until it was broken. An Australian media mogul set the stage for this with 30 years of propaganda and Europe themselves built a system of reliance on America, all of which were necessary steps to getting here. This doesn’t happen without Fox news, without Elon Musk, or without Europe being so entangled in the US they can barely enact any sanctions without destroying their own countries.

        Your country was founded on stolen land and has a history of doing this throughout your history. The nazis were inspired by your nation.

        Stop blaming everyone else, take accountability, and accept that your country has to change itself.

        Edit: So it seems this touched a nerve. I just wanted to edit to add that, of course, America isn’t the only evil empire, it’s just, at present, the worst evil empire.

        Americans are, in my experience, very firmly in denial about the history of their nation, wanting to act like Trump is acting in some unprecedented way. He isn’t, at all. This won’t end when Trump is deposed. You need to change the spirit of your people.

        You are not alone in that, of course, but we all need to admit it.
