Trump's comments aboard Air Force One contrasted with the diplomatic tone of Venezuela's Delcy Rodríguez, who extended an invitation to work with the U.S.

Donald Trump stated late Sunday that "we're in charge" of Venezuela, while warning its interim leader Delcy Rodríguez that she will fare "probably worse" than captured President Nicolas Maduro if she does not cooperate.

It was his latest threat to Rodríguez, the former vice president, who struck a more diplomatic tone as she extended an invitation to work with the U.S. “on an agenda of cooperation” and “within the framework of international law.”

Trump threatened military action against Colombia, drawing backlash from its president, but said there were no plans for immediate intervention in Cuba, predicting its government was "just going to fall." He again outlined his desire to take over Greenland, drawing widespread pushback including from NATO ally Denmark, which governs the Arctic island nation.

It's not a sane plan at all. It only works because we are not a sane nation and half the government refuses to hold him accountable for anything. The obvious counter to this strategy is to impeach him for being a lunatic with no coherent plans who lies about everything.

I'd argue that pretty much everyone I know is sane. I think the issue is more that all of our technology and culture has rapidly evolved and the laws that protect us have not so now it's easier for these groups to take control. This regime has done a ton of illegal or immoral things and our laws failed to bring them to justice every single time. The laws are all setup so you can pay your way out of justice and only a few people have enough money
