Evil commie Venezuela (as Republicans keep painting it)? Is that really the angle he's going for?
It was in the midst of claiming Venezuela dumped all of its criminals in the US. In Trump’s view Venezuela is safer than the US since America let all the Venezuelan criminals in through that open border.
Yeah, but imagine if it were the 60s and that claim was being made about the USSR, that it's safer than the US because all the criminals were sent to America, so he's going to go to the USSR if he loses.
The Republicans are still stuck in "we hate commies" mode. So this is a very weird thing for Trump to say.
So in other words, it's business as usual then lol
It's really just balancing the criminal deficit to send them a 34x convicted criminal.
Venezuela is an ally of Russia.
Venezuela is an authoritarian state (for the moment).
Venezuela is thus perfect for Trump.
It all makes more sense when you realize these people don't know what 'communism' or 'socialism' are. It's just an alternative word for 'bad' to them. I once heard a Republican blame companies raising gas prices at the pump on 'socialism'.
