won't be upset, both HE AND Trump have their eyes on Venezuela.......That county has even larger oil reserves underneath it than the Saudi's or Russia...........An aircraft carrier strike force complete with a half dozen destroyers to guard the carrier headed that way.?????????....
Just so Trump can make up for his Tiny Mushroom penis?????? He has tried everything else to re-direct the Epstein situation.......
And the evidence is mounting about his involvement with Epstein..........

The Republicans in Congress and the Supreme court justices better do something.........
