Riding an extraordinary wave of false hope, Dumpy shit the bed and dreamed up a choice morsel of magnificent bullshit on Sunday:
President Trump Posts Picture of Himself as ‘Acting President of Venezuela’ – via antiwar.com – by Dave DeCamp
President Trump on Sunday shared a picture of a fake Wikipedia page that described him as the “Acting President of Venezuela” as he continues to push the idea that the US is “running” the country following the attack to abduct President Nicolas Maduro.
Trump has insisted that the real acting president of Venezuela, Delcy Rodriguez, who served as Maduro’s vice president, is willing to go along with his plan, which has received a cool reception from US oil companies.
While Rodriguez has said she’s willing to cooperate with the US, her government has maintained a message of unity and defiance in the face of US aggression and continues to call for the release of Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores. (read more)

That was the good news. Unfortunately, for the peace president, there is some bad news to go along with his latest deranged fantasy.
Report: Military Tells Trump It Needs More Time to Prepare for War With Iran
Military commanders in the Middle East want more time to prepare for Iranian counterattacks
What a shame! He’ll have to put bombing the bejesus out of yet another country and extinguishing lives on the back burner for a while. But there is a silver lining…the defense contractors are making lots of money. Winning!
And a day can’t pass without Dumpy threatening another country…this time with a vat of slime known as Marco Rubio.
Trump Threatens Cuba, Suggests Rubio Could Serve as the Country’s President
President Donald Trump asserted that Cuba was vulnerable after he kidnapped Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. He demanded that Havana make a deal with Washington or face additional aggression from the US.
“Cuba lived, for many years, on large amounts of OIL and MONEY from Venezuela,” the President wrote on Truth Social Sunday. “THERE WILL BE NO MORE OIL OR MONEY GOING TO CUBA – ZERO! I strongly suggest they make a deal, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.”
Earlier this month, President Donald Trump ordered an attack on Venezuela that killed over 100 people and captured Maduro. Some of those killed were Cuban soldiers who were serving as Maduro’s bodyguards.
“Cuba provided ‘Security Services’ for the last two Venezuelan dictators, BUT NOT ANYMORE! Most of those Cubans are DEAD from last week’s USA attack,” Trump wrote. “And Venezuela doesn’t need protection anymore from the thugs and extortionists who held them hostage for so many years. Venezuela now has the United States of America, the most powerful military in the World (by far!), to protect them, and protect them we will.”
Following the capture of Maduro, Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio threatened several other nations in our own hemisphere. “If I lived in Havana and I was in the government, I’d be concerned,” Rubio said.
On Sunday, in a second Truth Social post, Trump wrote that Rubio serving as President of Cuba “sounds good to me.” – antiwar.com
It’s so comforting to know that the U.S. government has solved all problems at home. No poverty, no homeless, consistent affordability, a perfectly sound infrastructure and free healthcare, just like they have in Cuba and Venezuela.
“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”
