Trump Declares War on Communist
Trump has declared the head of the democratic opposition in Venezuela to be the legal president of the country, sparking potential conflict with the South American communist leader. Bloomberg reports:
President Donald Trump recognized Juan Guaido as the interim president of Venezuela Wednesday minutes after the opposition leader declared himself the head of state, in the U.S.’s most provocative move yet against the leftist regime of Nicolas Maduro.
Maduro responded by breaking diplomatic relations with the U.S., giving American diplomats 72 hours to leave the country.
AdvertisementGuaido, 35, is the president of the Venezuela National Assembly, which Maduro doesn’t recognize. Venezuelans took to the streets in the biggest opposition protests since mid-2017 to back Guaido and increase pressure on Maduro.
“The people of Venezuela have courageously spoken out against Maduro and his regime and demanded freedom and the rule of law,” Trump said in a statement. He said that because the country’s National Assembly had declared Maduro illegitimate, “the office of the presidency is therefore vacant.”
This is a historic event, and Americans are looking forward to freedom being defended in the Western hemisphere.
What kind of “war” has President Trump declared. Has the Senate approved It?
President has 30 days without senate.
Are you daft or just illiterate?
Talk about Fake News
Many of us have predicted that Maduro and his wife would already have grabbed the money and run. That’s usually how a socialist nation ends and a constitutional republic starts over. I haven’t given up on the creep. I’m betting the nation’s coffers already have been looted, laundered and stashed in numbered accounts. I believe he’ll soon flee in a private air transport to some remote but temporary place before he takes up residence somewhere like the South of France.
So what! He gives our delegates 72 hrs to get out of the country! Good RIDDANCE,who needs Venezuela anyway?We should get out and stay out!Who needs them?
This one caught ne off guard. I thought it was going to be about Pelosi
So did I!!
My immediate reaction was “Pelosi or Schumer?”
Nick and Larry I was hoping it was rhe entire democrat house of congress, they’re all comunist
If they had guns the dictator would have been removed years ago. Now it will take decades at best to bring back the country close to where it had been.
Dear President Trump, these evil Demorats need to get out of the way so you can move on to build the much needes Wall on our Southern Borders.
Evil socialist’s
I hope the people of Venezuela can knock off that jerk that calls himself a leader before he loots the country, and then get a good and reasonable government up and going quickly. They should be able to come back rather quickly once they get going because they are an oil producing country.
It would be great to see how well we could do if we got rid of these horrible Demonazis in this country so that we could get done the things that need to be done.
So true! Get him out before he runs with what resources they will need. Want to bet the middle east will take him in or Russia?
…….Time to Eradicate COMMUNISM from The Americas once and for all!!,…..Good Job President Trump!!,…..Next is Bolivia, Nicaragua, and Cuba!!,…
Next is the USA (demotards)
It’s time for POTUS to enforce the Monroe Doctrine!!! Get Iran, China, and Russia out of the Western Hemisphere!!! Their meddling and trouble-making is not welcome here!!!
I came here thinking to commie leader was schmuck schumer or nazi piglosi. Anyway, we should arm the venezuelan resistance but offer ZERO troops. We have our own leftist filth issues…..
I think we should just stay out of it and let their people handle it. It could turn into us getting into another war like in the middle east. We have enough of our own problems to deal with. They can deal with their own. I say we can sympathize with them but that’s all.
Declaring war on ms piglosi and her twin shoemur while making declarations.
