Certainly, Maduro is no saint. But leave it to a Donald Trump to turn a guy like that (and maybe Venezuela itself) into a victim...

of a blatantly obvious and illegal seizure of a sovereign country's assets. (F.K.A. 'imperial aggression.')

And Trump's threatening other countries too. Mexico, Cuba, Columbia, Nigeria, Greenland.... and counting??

ADOLPH would be proud.
