Trump addresses crisis in Venezuela

Mountainmanbob · Feb 18, 2019

Add one more to the long list of great Trump speeches.

This should be very encouraging news for the people of Venezuela and Cuba and Nicaragua and Honduras.

I guess it's encouraging that he didn't call any of those countries [profane]hole countries before he made his speech. When was this speech and what about the fact checking on his entire speech?

Anyone have a link to a transcript, I don't have time to look for one (at work right now)

...given he never mentioned the latter three countries, I'm not sure why they would be encouraged.

As for Venezuela, it's generally counter-productive for US Presidents to threaten military action in the region. Such words only validate the propaganda of the Venezuelan government: "“If you choose this path, you will find no safe harbor, no easy exit and no way out. You will lose everything,”

He mentioned them in the full speech that I saw on TV.
Good enough for me to repeat it.
I thought I was posting the full speech?

When you have time.
Best just to watch the president speak.
A great speech.

that's the problem. Speech is like 30 minutes but I can read it in 5 minutes. I don't have the time.

I do the same thing with Obama's speeches, easier to just read them and mentally insert all the awesome applause

I haven't read the transcript yet because I would like the fact checking to be on hand. I wonder who wrote his speech if it was anything decent since he has the reading level of a fourth-grader.

I remember when I used to get embarrassed listening to President Bush speak...

to imagine that we now have a President that makes Bush Jr. look like a Pulitzer Prize winning Nobel Laureate by comparison :doh:

President George W. Bush never claimed to be 'like really smart' and a 'very stable genius' He may have been unpresidented and a smocking gun, but at least he never wished lasting peach for Israel. He knew how to handle himself during press covfefe too and he never fed anyone hamberders at the White House. I'll admit that he's in a much better light when he's compared to Donald Trump.

If it was a decent speech then I would like to know who wrote it for him. I doubt he wrote the speech because it would need to be proofread and repeatedly checked for his well known spelling mistakes.

Half of enjoying a good speech is watching the delivery method and personality you miss that when you don't watch.
To each his own no problem.

Okay. I didn't watch the video and the article I read only quoted excerpts regarding Venezuela.

His speech clearly achieved it's goal - to make his base feel good.

What good it does for suffering people of Venezuela -- is another mater.

btw, Honduras is certainly not a socialist country.
