Some Republicans in Congress are getting testy with Trump, and he’s still pissed at the Epstein vote. He’s got the majority of Republicans in the Indiana Legislature telling him to fuck off, which while it’s one state, does show that not everybody will do his bidding, even after he threatened to withhold federal funding. Plenty of Americans on the right are not too thrilled with the economy. And millions are about to get turbo-fucked with healthcare expenses. And murdering survivors in the water did not go over as well as he thought.
I don’t see how he sells a big war against Venezuela in an election year when they haven’t attacked us and Trump is already Bigly unpopular and he doesn’t have control over a Republican Congress. Maduro knows he can’t be trusted to make a deal, and he’s got Russia and China in his corner, so it’s in his interest to stick it out.
Hell, there are a lot of Americans who don’t realize that we are on the path to war with Venezuela. How does he go on TV and sell that, and surprise the hell out of them like that? It’s a fantastic way to help the Dems win Congress next November.
