President Donald Trump on Friday would not rule out the possibility of a military intervention in Venezuela.

Asked about the possibility of a military intervention in response to a mounting crisis in the country, the President said that is something the United States "certainly could pursue."

"We have many options for Venezuela. And by the way, I am not going to rule out a military option," Trump said. "We have many options for Venezuela. This is our neighbor. You know, we are all over the world and we have troops all over the world in places that are very, very far away. Venezuela is not very far away and the people are suffering, and they are dying. We have many options for Venezuela, including a possible military option if necessary."

Hillary wouldn't say "we have a military option." She'd say "we're going in for democracy!"

That said, I say let Venezuela rot. And I knew he'd piss people off with that statement.

I was more annoyed that some jackass asked about Pence running in 2020. North Korea's making grandstanding threats about us and you want to worry about an election that's in three years? Fuck off. Watch, the Washington Post will spin his response tomorrow.

But he really has been like every other president. If you watch the national media, though, you'd think he was the worst president ever.

If you let Trump make all of the news about North Korea, aren't you just rewarding him for his uncontrolled rhetoric?

Given Trump's consumption of the news, continued coverage of NK probably just increases the chances of this escalating. Trump's original threats this week were only because it was raining at his golf course and he was watching TV all day.

Every President is a liar whose primary focus is their own ego.

Donald Trump is a liar whose primary focus is his own ego, *and* not smart enough to hide it as well as his predecessors.

He is different. He's pursuing policies that wouldn't have even been considered by any other politician from the left or right (Buy American Hire American, every new regulation signed into law 2 leave, travel ban, sanctuary city crackdown, the wall, actual border security, etc.)--not to mention he constantly speaks directly to the American people by tweeting and holding rallies.

This latest statement regarding Venezuela is him being transparent with the options available to us. In no way did he say he was going to use military action.

A downward swing that cuts illegal immigration by more than half in Trump's 6 months? I'm not buying it.
