On December 20, the Wall Street Journal reported:
[Chevron CEO Mike] Wirth and Trump are known to be tight. The oil executive is an eloquent speaker whose TV appearances entertain the president, and the men chat about Venezuela and other topics.
Wirth was among the first to embrace “the Gulf of America,” Trump’s new moniker for the Gulf of Mexico. His company, which has donated to inaugural committees of both parties, gave $2 million to Trump’s, twice as much as Exxon Mobil and Occidental Petroleum.
Trump and Wirth appear to agree that opportunity abounds in Venezuela.
“It will only get bigger,” Trump said on Truth Social of the U.S. naval armada parked in the Caribbean, “until such time as they return to the United States of America all of the oil, land, and other assets that they have previously stole from us.”

Your world is dead, Second.
It was run on $38 Trillion of Debt, and was never real in the first place.
You'd better adapt or die.
And it IS The Gulf of America. Fucking deal with it.

Who owns the debt? People like me, who have to park their excess money somewhere.
How did such people get all the excess money that needs a parking place? By dear Donald's tax cuts directed specifically toward them:
Jan 10, 2024 — President Trump added over $8 trillion to the national debt. https://www.crfb.org/blogs/how-much-did-president-trump-add-debt
July 4, 2025 — Trump's "big beautiful" tax-and-spending bill is forecast to increase federal deficits by at least $3.4 trillion.
Just saying, 6ixStringJoker, you don't understand anything about the National Debt.
When the National Debt starts decreasing, not likely to happen, that will be proof that the wealthy are finally (finally!) paying their fair share for the first time in decades. What will they use to pay their taxes? The Treasury bonds, once sold back to the federal government, will pay the rich people's taxes. Obviously.

You shut the fuck up.
Venezuelians were out in the streets today cheering Trump's name, both in Venezuela and in America.
Fuck you stupid white college "educated" liberals.
Your time is finished.
Go hide under a rock. Nobody wants to hear one more fucking word out of any of you.

Quote:Imagine that Trump was abducted. Americans would be out in the streets cheering. But JD Vance becomes the new President and Trump's people continue to run the government. That's what happened in Venezuela. The old VP became the new President. Trump will be bombing the new government, which is the same as the old government.

The Rise of the Banana Republicans
The ‘Donroe Doctrine’ is the first time we’re getting honesty from Trump- but only in revealing our worst intentions

Not since the days of gunboat diplomacy has an American president so baldly asserted the right to overthrow a foreign government, occupy its territory, and seize its resources. Trump went further, rebranding the Monroe Doctrine as the “Donroe Doctrine” — a piece of nominative vanity that would be comical if it weren’t so revealing. “American dominance in the Western Hemisphere,” he announced, “will never be questioned again.”
The original Monroe Doctrine, proclaimed in 1823, was born from weakness masquerading as strength. President James Monroe declared the Western Hemisphere off-limits to European colonization at a moment when the United States possessed neither the naval power nor the military capacity to enforce such a pronouncement. It was aspirational theater — a young republic drawing a line in the sand it couldn’t actually defend, hoping European powers would respect American claims to a sphere of influence that existed more on paper than in practice.
Yet there was something genuinely aspirational in Monroe’s vision. However self-interested, it gestured toward a hemisphere of independent republics, freed from the dynastic squabbles of European monarchies. The doctrine imagined a New World defined by self-determination, even if that self-determination was to be supervised by Washington. It was imperialism, certainly, but imperialism that at least paid lip service to republican ideals.
The Donroe Doctrine dispenses with such pretense. This isn’t about protecting Latin American nations from foreign interference. Trump made the game explicit: Venezuela possesses the world’s largest proven oil reserves, and American companies will now “fix” its “badly broken” oil infrastructure. Translation: we’re taking the oil. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, standing beside Trump, made clear that Cuba and Nicaragua should consider themselves next on the list. “Their days are also counted,” declared Rep. Mario Díaz-Balart.

The Real Donroe Doctrine
Seeking cash and an ego boost, not regime change
By Paul Krugman | Jan 05, 2026

For Americans of a certain age, the snatch and grab abduction of Nicolás Maduro, Venezuela’s president, brings back memories of the 2003 invasion of Iraq, in some ways with good reason.
Almost everyone now sees Iraq as a cautionary tale about the lies of the powerful: We were taken to war on false pretenses. Almost everyone also thinks of Iraq as a prime example of the power of delusional thinking on the part of the powerful themselves. Slogans of the time — “We will be welcomed as liberators”; “Mission Accomplished” — are now routinely used ironically, to denote foolish projects doomed to catastrophic failure. And Donald Trump’s Venezuela adventure is another tale of lies and delusion.
But in other ways the Trump/Venezuela story is very different from the Bush/Iraq story.
Two days after the abduction, it’s clear that Trump wasn’t seeking regime change, at least not in any fundamental way. He’s more like a mob boss trying to expand his territory, believing that if he knocks off a rival boss he can bully the guy’s former capos into giving him a cut of their take.
If that sounds harsh, bear in mind that before Trump stepped in, Maduro and his fellow Chavistas — the movement founded by Hugo Chavez — faced strong opposition from domestic pro-democracy forces led by María Corina Machado. Edmundo González, a Machado ally, clearly won Venezuela’s 2024 election, only to have Maduro steal it. So, if Trump wanted regime change he would be supporting Machado and her movement.
But in his triumphal Saturday press conference, Trump sneeringly dismissed Machado, declaring that “it’d be very tough for her to be the leader, she doesn’t have the support. She doesn’t have the respect.”
Instead, he appeared eager to support Maduro’s second-in-command, Delcy Rodriguez, implying that she was ready to cooperate with his designs. Indeed, during the press conference and afterward Trump repeatedly declared that he was already “running” Venezuela.
But it took only a few hours for Rodriguez to make him look like a fool: Later that day she and other leading members of the Maduro government denounced U.S. actions and declared on TV that Maduro is still president of Venezuela.
Oops. By Sunday Trump was threatening to punish Rodriguez for her defiance.
How did Trump make such a big miscalculation? Trump has surrounded himself with sycophants like Pete Hegseth, who has repeatedly described him as “the greatest president of my lifetime.” He lives in a self-aggrandizing fantasy world — a world in which he has a 64 percent approval rating and is a contender for the Nobel Peace Prize.
The Washington Post reports that Trump turned on Machado because she committed the “ultimate sin” of accepting her genuine Nobel prize.
Anyway, the core of Trump’s fantasy involves imagining that he really is the character he played on The Apprentice, a master of the Art of the Deal.
Given Trump’s belief that he can always out-deal, out-bully and out-cheat everyone else, it’s easy to see how he interpreted some conciliatory conversations with Rodriguez as a signal that she would be his obedient puppet.
Trump’s self-image as the ultimate dealmaker explains why he was so ready to believe, falsely, that he controlled Venezuela. It also explains his insistence that by, as he imagined, seizing Venezuela, he had gained a valuable prize in the form of its oil. “We’re going to be taking out a tremendous amount of wealth out of the ground.” Many Trump critics share his view that there’s a lot of money to be made from Venezuelan oil and condemn his intervention as an attempt to steal that money.
But you know who doesn’t think there’s a lot of money to be made in Venezuela? Oil companies. They see a dilapidated infrastructure that would cost billions to repair. They don’t see a stable political environment above ground. And while Venezuela has large oil rese

We're going to have a lot of fun showing you what the Legacy Media and the Democratic Party were saying about Maduro and what needed to be done about him when Joe Biden* was president... and none of them meant a goddamned word of it. Even when Biden* was still running for President.
We know that you've already forgotten about all of that.
But we didn't.

Hello to all the loyal viewers and die-hard fans of Jimmy Kimmel — the people who can watch five minutes of Trump talking about foreign policy and instantly tell the difference between a real doctrine and a drunk guy doodling on a placemat at Mar-a-Lago. I hope you’re somewhere comfortable right now, maybe half-sliding off the couch with your phone in one hand and a snack you definitely didn’t intend to eat this late in the other, because tonight we’re going to talk about something that sounds like a bad joke, feels like a comic-book supervillain plan, and is actually being treated like a real threat by an entire country: Donald Trump’s so-called “Don Roe Doctrine” and how it just turned the Canadian people into some of the most determined Trump-resisters on the planet.
If you somehow missed it, here’s the quick horror recap. After Trump’s unlawful invasion of Venezuela — you know, that little “kinetic action” he announced like he was plugging a hotel opening — he walked into a press conference and bragged that he’d basically upgraded the Monroe Doctrine. Remember that old 19th-century policy that said the Western Hemisphere was kind of our neighborhood and European empires should back off? Trump stands there, sweaty and proud, and declares that under his “new national security strategy,” American dominance in the Western Hemisphere “will never be questioned again,” and that they now call it the “Don Roe Doctrine.” He even stumbles over the name like he’s not sure if he’s saying “Monroe,” “Don Roe,” or “Don’t Know,” which is honestly the most accurate version.
