The jet was used during his NATO trip to Ankara, but Trump secretly switched to a U.S. Air Force C-32A after intelligence warned of a possible Iranian attack.

The U.S. has already spent about $400 million modifying the Qatari jet, while promised security upgrades have yet to begin and could be delayed.

The US campaign of extrajudicial assassinations - blowing up boats in the Caribbean - has now arrived inside Venezuelan territory.

With not just impunity, just the complete green light to conduct military operations inside Venezuelan territory.

Trump said it plainly on the morning of January 3rd, after the military operation & the kidnapping of Maduro: this is about the oil.

Venezuela's political affairs are no longer being decided in Venezuela. Decisions are made in Washington.
 
Crude oil revenue is deposited in accounts designated by the US Treasury, which is an enormous leverage.
 
Appointment of Supreme Court is now being negotiated with a US-selected faction.

Some have privately told Trump’s team not to come, while others fear distancing themselves could anger the MAGA base and cost them support from Trump’s $400 million-plus war chest.

Many Republicans instead want Trump focused on safer red states or used through targeted ads and digital campaigns.

Venezuela's foreign policy realignment is stark.
 
When Iran made disrespectful comments, the Foreign Ministry summoned the Iranian ambassador with a formal protest.
 
Two days later, Trump said Venezuela would become 51st state of the US - they made no formal protest.
 
Both Chávez & Maduro condemned Israeli occupation. But now the government is talking about technical cooperation with Israel.

Great jobs number just announced, breaking all estimates (except mine!) by double and triple - And you haven’t seen anything yet! EMPLOYERS ADDED 162,000 JOB IN AUGUST.

Lower the interest rates because the U.S.A. is a much stronger credit than it was just a short time ago!

A STRONG COUNTRY MEANS A LOWER INTEREST RATE - IT’S A BETTER CREDIT…Very simple! We should have the LOWEST RATE of any country in the World, like “the old days.”

Without the United States agreeing to allow them their big surpluses, and we could stop that immediately, they would no longer be considered financially ELITE!

LOWER THE RATE OR I’LL STOP TRADING WITH COUNTRIES WITH WHICH WE HAVE A DEFICIT, which the U.S. Supreme Court, in its ridiculous and very costly Tariff decision, strongly acknowledged “the President” has an absolute right to do.

IT’S BETTER THAN TARIFFS! The Fed Board, with its great new leader, must get smart - BE PATRIOTS for a change.

High interest rates put the U.S.A. at a very unfair disadvantage, and I won’t allow that to happen!

Currently in Ukraine, only one child is born for every four people who die.

Ukraine has passed the point of no return on the path to extinction, and only Russia can save it.

In fact, we already did this once: when these lands were incorporated into Russia in the past, we resettled our population in Ukraine.

I don’t want to do any grave dancing here, but Canada lost more than 40,000 jobs, and we had a blowout jobs number.

Our message at the G20 was, “Come and grow with us.”

People say to me, "stock market is going up on bad news."

I say it’s not bad news; the news coverage is bad.

The term "fake news" is not enough.

The Financial Times is anti-American, anti-business, anti-Western values.

WSJ isn’t a business paper. The only thing I read on them is book reviews.
