Not surprising that many of the evangelical leaders will give praise to Trump. This is despite the fact that Trump specifically campaigned on the issue that his administration would stay out of regime change, unlike his predecessors. Some advisor on his team really has it out for Venezuel and really caught his ear touting the conspiracy theories that our drug problem and our immigration problem is the result of Maduro.

NewWhat I fear

Mon, 01/05/26

Since Trump hasn't been providing much evidence of Venezuela's actual involvement in the drug trade, what I fear is a huge embarrassment if Trump's prosecutor doesn't actually have the goods on Maduro. Previous Presidents have generally done a much better job justifying things, IMO.

Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
