A hungry people will over-throw their oppressive Government. Stay OUT of it President Trump! We have enough of our own problems here at home.
Not his job or responsibility. Fix America like you were hired to do.
The wealthy, the patrons, brought this on them selves.
Spain must be forever ditched before the new world colonies can lead normal lives.
The patrons are now in Miami and will never go back to screw things up
I thought he was president of the U.S.A.?
If done correctly, helping solve those problems (like busting drug lords and human traffickers and help those failed countries set up self-sufficient safe communities) is a win-win situation.
PS: I'm Grania again! If anyone remembers my real world name I would really like keeping the two entities separate
We cant fix marxism with humanitarian aid
We cant fix islam with humanitarian aid
Who the hell is advising this man
Venezuelans got EXACTLY what they wanted and deserved, and this is the horrific result. They willingly voted for and empowered Communism and a COMMUNIST DICTSTORSHIP.
Venezuela was once the richest country in South America until the communists took over. Mr. Trump, you want to "do whatever it takes" = THEN WORK TOWARDS ENDING COMMUNISM AND THE COMMUNIST DICTATORSHIP IN VENEZUELA! But whatever, you do don't pro up and support the current COMMUNIST DICTATORSHIP by giving them ANY U.S. "humanitarian aid" because NONE of that money will EVER get to the people who need it and every cent you give will be used to prop up the COMMUNIST REGIME in Venezuela.
Let Venezuela overthrow their COMMUNIST OPPRESSORS and then spend their OWN darn money to rehabilitate Venezuela.
Your job is NOT to make Venezuela great again; YOU WERE ELECTED AND EMPOWERED BY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO:
"MAKE A M E R I C A GREAT AGAIN" and don't you forget it!
The Venezuelan people made their bed, let them lie in it until they have had enough and OVERTHROW THE COMMUNIST OVERLORDS THEY THEMSELVES PUT IN POWER. Only then should we begin to even think about helping them and not until.
Send them a copy of the US Constitution and tell them to implement that... everything else will take care of itself,
That would mean a bloody military occupation.
I hope he doesn’t mean it.
Any aid given to a dictatorship, will be seized to prop up the dictatorship. They will take all the food and ensure it ONLY goes to socialist loyalists.
Just because Jivanka wants us to.
Venezuela is none of our business.
The Reagan doctrine involved providing resources for peoples in Communist dictatorships to fight for their own freedom (e.g. Afghanistan Mujahedeen).
That might get to be a little stickier in Latin American, but if Colombia is willing to be a teammate, that might work. Maybe a joint agreement including friendlier places like Chile, Panama and Costa Rica.
I don’t mind feeding the hungry people, if we can.
There is no amount of money or humanitarian aid that will “fix” a socialist hell hole like Venezuela. The people will have to revolt and create a new constitution and representative government that respects private property rights.
Not our problem. What’s he going to do, occupy the country, take their oil, and put everyone on the dole? Sorry, yes, we should cut off the current government, close their oil sales, and starve out the current government and politicians. The locals can’t get hurt any worse. But who replaces them? At what cost to us? Are we going to get into nation building?
Trump needs to fix his own house first.
Umm, how about we fix America first?
I’d hire a half dozen of RoRo freighters, fill ‘em with food and medicine, and have ‘em stand off just outside the territorial limit.
When the heads of the Venezuelan leaders, generals, judges, and socialist party members are delivered to the escort ships in a big stack of duffle bags, then ID’d and checked off, the ships will pull in and begin unloading.
We’re now in the days of spreading the suffering. There really is no hope for this world. The United States has sacrificed many lives to get where it is and you can’t save the world. Trump is showing troubling signs.
I don’t know who his audience is.
His populist views make me think he supports the protesters not the government.
