He will be murdered eventually, or end his days in prison (hopefully a Mexican or Venezuelan one), and though I'm not a violent person, I will celebrate his death and/or demise. He's a dangerous idiot.

When he says he’s going to ‘take care of everybody’ I get distinct flashbacks to that scene in Father Ted where mad Tom offers to ‘take care of’ Dougal’s rabbit infestation.

It's absolutely terrifying that this absolute twat has this much power and nobody is stopping him.

He's just going to keep starting wars so he can stay in power.

America is no longer a democracy, its under a dictatorship.

Not evening starting wars. He’s used the US military, without speaking to congress, to take a leader of another country (yes a horrible leader, I’m not supporting him) and announce that now he runs that country.

gamerchick · 03/01/2026 17:21

I can't follow anything he says. He just waffles on while the people standing next to him take half breaths because he smells.

He's a strange person.

Look at the guy behind him!

I'm watching it with the sound off and I can still tell that every word coming out of his mouth is bonkers.

If by the guy behind him, you mean Marco Rubio, he's the Secretary of State and this is on him. Trump's a psychotic, delusional, narcissistic moron, but Rubio's wanted some version of this for a long time.

It's like watching a horror movie, with a cast of arse lickers. Only three years left, starting to count the days.

TheGrimSqueakersFlea · 03/01/2026 17:25

Trump is a prick. He needs removed from office, but that won't happen

Don’t count on it

Ah so the US will rule them until the oil runs dry, I wonder how many more Venezuelean citizens will be sent to prisons in El Salvador.

Thelnebriati · 03/01/2026 17:35

For years online, Venezuela has been used as evidence that socialism doesn't work. I wonder how it will fare under Trump.

ARoomSomewhere · 03/01/2026 17:35

I thought the fact he went straight for; 'it's OUR oil, that we are taking back' audacious, even for DJT. Then the endless wiffle-piffle, rambling on and on (even had a pop at Jimmy Carter for goodness sake!). Then Cabbage Patch Satan comes on and says: 'FAFO' like it's a playground dare. Appalling dangerous children, both of them. Putin, Xian and Netanyahu will rub their hands, whilst Zelensky & the population of Gaza, yet alone rhe popu6of Venezuela will look on in horror.

Americano75 · 03/01/2026 17:38

The fuck was that?

Anothercoffeex · 03/01/2026 17:39

TBH i think starmer is worse than trump.
At least I see trump doing his job even if the man's a loony, he's doing something.
What is the uk starmer doing 🤔, nothing just running the uk down.

Strangerinastrangeland2023 · 03/01/2026 17:39

So now he's not happy with Putin. Yes, let's annoy another lunatic on the planet and see what happens.
And to think this idiot has his finger on the nuclear button. Why kind of morons vote this clown back into office?!?

Oh he’s not happy with Putin on one day, then best mates with him the next. Truth is Trump admires all the other lunatics, he recognises them as kindred spirits.

minsmum · 03/01/2026 17:42

He's already talking about invading Cuba, where next he wants Greenland and he seems to think what he wants is enough

Ineffable23 · 03/01/2026 17:17

So I think the gist is:

The US is going to govern Venezuela until they can get it"stabilised". Hmm Question mark for me over whether that's going to be not very long or a jolly long time.

Then there's going to be LOADS OF DRILLING. By American oil companies. And this is apparently going to make Venezuelans rich. Hmm

And that other dictators had better watch out. Hmm

I just have no words to be honest.

I can't tell how this is going to play out.

He said the same about Gaza.

Sideorderofchips · 03/01/2026 17:44

I saw somewhere that putins response is

'Countries should not invade other countries'

hottentot · 03/01/2026 17:44

Unfortunately this is like every other country the US has taken over in the name of democracy.

Pacificsunshine · 03/01/2026 17:44

Reminds me a lot of the invasion of Panama by Bush Senior to force regime change. Trump is particularly graceless, but this is nothing new.

ExtraOnions · 03/01/2026 17:45

It’s called “Colonialism” .. we used to do it back in the 17th / 18th / 19th Century, it was wrong then, and it’s wrong now.

A larger, richer country, with more firepower, invades a poorer country that has lots of resources that want. They then rule directly, followed by the installation of an approved (puppet) leader.

The larger nation stays there until resources are depleted, then leave the invaded nation in a worse / more turbulent, position than they were in in the first place.

*see British Empire

JennyForeigner · 03/01/2026 17:46

If Trump is this worried about drugs, has he thought about invading checks notes Afghanistan?

It's like the Bay of Pigs but instead of a Kennedy, a demented old madman trying to divert attention from his sex crimes and instead of the massive success of the Bay of Pigs, worse than that.

Evaka · 03/01/2026 17:47

He's off his tits. Terrifying course of action. I already want to get off 2026 please.

EmeraldShamrock000 · 03/01/2026 17:47

He is a law breaking lunatic.

AyeKarumba · 03/01/2026 17:47

Him and his government should be put in jail.
