    1. What is it that people don’t understand about Donald Trump? The fact that he’s a malignant narcissistic sociopathic grifter who is extremely sadistic and enjoys causing other people pain?

      It takes a certain kind of monster to cut off food, medicine, and supplies to starving people all around the world that’s already been paid for and in warehouses ready to be delivered. Instead, he orders it to be burned and destroyed. That has resulted so far in excess of 700,000 people dying and counting. With 2/3 of those being innocent children. That’s who Donald Trump is. 🤬

    2. And Americans will bend over backwards to blame democrats or anyone other than the republicans for this. Rinse and repeat

    3. As much as I despise Trump and what hes doing to Venezuela (and everyone else), i dont like this argument. Here in Canada we just committed to securing Ukraines $2.5 billion loan, an act I’m entirely in favour of, and we have our own maple maga complaining “we’re giving billions to Ukraine, yet we have homeless people in Canada!!!”

      I mean, the government can spend on several things at once. In our situation, we have a budget which dog ears a certain amount of money to be spent on foreign aid, so its not like that money would be going into addiction counciling and low-rent housing.

      In Trumps situation, obviously hes choosing to neglect the poverty-stricken Americans, AND to terrorize and pirate Venezuelans goods, but those are 2 unrelated choices that dont effect each other.

    4. Trump really doesn’t see the poor from his elite vantage point. However, he does regularly grift their money.

      we don’t have “40 million poor” we have 40 million low wage workers by design. They are a critical part of our economy. Without them the people on the next level would not be. able to pretend they have a middle class lifestyle.

      We do not have 40 million better jobs for and if we did, the society would collapse without these people doing the low wage jobs they are currently filling.

      They have been building this system for a long time. Trump is just here to reinforce it.

      Remember that the rest of the government isn’t using its authority to stop him. Remember in the coming elections that they ALL need to be thrown out of office.

      Here’s working tirelessly to improve those numbers. We’ll have over 100 million in poverty by 2029.

      So about $0.45 per day per person? $14/month? How did we even get the $2 billion number anyway? A few ships floating by Venezuela instead of Iran?

      I’m all for helping people rise out of poverty, and against Trump’s made up war in Venezuela, but faux outrage click bait like this is how we wound up with Trump in the first place. He built his entire campaign on false anger.

      Find something legitimate to be angry about. Not like it’s all that hard to do.

    9. Don’t forget about the 40 billion for Argentina a nation more aligned with our enemies than with our allies.
