Turns out that while I was away I missed the funniest development of the year. Trump tricked everybody into thinking that he was going to declare war on Venezuela so that people would tune into his speech and there would be motivation to watch and air it on the networks.
And, obviously, there was no declaration of war. Instead, everybody had to listen to Trump explain his economic policy. Good for him. The “war is coming” crowd deserves that and more. I’m loving this trick.
This is what being out of the country does to you. You miss everything that’s happening.

This is a blatant misrepresentation of what has happened.
Deploying USS Gerald Ford, an aircraft carrier, to Venezuela, costing tens of millions of dollars a day if not more. Just as a troll. So people would watch his news conference. Sure.
What is there to love about this? If true, he spent hundreds of millions of dollars on a stunt to make people watch him on TV. If false, he folded like a cheap tent again. You don’t deploy your navy for shits and giggles. It just makes you look weak.
It does seem to be a trick. Except you think it’s others who are being tricked when it’s the people clapping at this stunt who are the real marks.

I’m trying to find something positive about the administration. This is all I could scrounge up but if there’s something else, please let me know. Because the pickings seem very very slim at this point.
