The Main Gossip, Bless His Heart!

Oh, sweetie, have you heard the latest kerfuffle with that President Trump? Well, I never! Just last week, he sent our military right into Venezuela! Can you believe it? And after all that talk about how he wouldn’t start any new wars – why, he practically campaigned on it!

His own Vice-President, JD Vance, was just crowing in 2023 about Trump’s 'best foreign policy' being not starting any wars. And then there was Senator Rand Paul, amazed by his cabinet, saying Trump rejected 'warmongers'! Heavens to Betsy, what a turnabout!

Now, I hear the rich folks, those hedge fund billionaires like Bill Ackman, are just delighted! They’re saying this whole messy business will 'lower oil prices,' which is just dandy for them. And darling Elon Musk is patching things up, calling it a 'win for the world.' *A win for whose world, I ask you?*

Honestly, the way these politicians change their tune is enough to give a gal whiplash! All those folks who swore up and down that Trump was a 'populist' for the common man, avoiding those dreadful foreign entanglements – where are they now, hmm?

Why, Tulsi Gabbard, bless her heart, was just telling folks in Bahrain that Trump had ended that 'endless cycle of regime change.' And then, poof! He’s off invading Venezuela! It just makes you want to throw your hands up in the air!

And the nerve of these wealthy types! They’re already planning 'field trips' to Venezuela to scout out oil, gas, and even tourism opportunities, according to that Charles Myers. It’s like they have their little picnic baskets ready before the dust even settles.

But here’s the kicker, sweetie: Trump even offered our oil executives 'reimbursement' for assets the Venezuelan government nationalized ages ago, if they’d just go and take control of the oil fields. And guess what? Nobody’s taking him up on it! The infrastructure is old, and it costs too much to fix. Well, I never! An imperialist war and nobody wants the spoils!

Clarifying What Actually Happened (Between Sips of Tea)

So, here’s the skinny, dear. President Trump, despite all his talk of being a populist who would put working-class Americans first and stay out of wars, has launched a military assault on Caracas, Venezuela. This happened last week, according to the papers.

The article says he’s openly claiming to have invaded Venezuela for its oil. This has embarrassed folks like JD Vance, Rand Paul, and Tulsi Gabbard who previously praised his foreign policy stance.

Meanwhile, the really rich people, the Wall Street types like Bill Ackman and even the Jeff Bezos editorial board, are practically cheering him on. They see profit in the venture, particularly in oil and gas.

However, the catch is that Venezuela’s oil infrastructure is quite outdated. Oil companies are apparently reluctant to make the huge investments needed to get it up to snuff, especially when they can make good money with less fuss elsewhere.

This means President Trump is waging this war, but the very executives he’s trying to benefit are hesitant to jump in and claim those oil fields. It’s quite the spectacle, wouldn’t you say?

Why Grandma "Just Can't Even" Today

Honestly, sweetie, sometimes I just don’t know what to make of this world anymore. Back in my day, a president said one thing and did another, but it wasn't quite this brazen! This whole 'populist' act has turned into a fraud, plain and simple.

First term, he gave big tax cuts to the rich, messed with banking rules that caused failures, and threw out treaties. Now, in his second term, more tax cuts for the wealthy, and he doubled health insurance premiums for millions of families! He even called the affordability crisis a 'hoax'! A hoax, I tell you!

And then there are those dreadful Epstein files! Every time they release more, it just gets worse and worse for him, and he’s still holding onto thousands of them. What’s he hiding, I wonder? It makes my stomach churn!

Prices are still too high, unemployment is creeping up, and the economy feels stuck. It’s enough to make a gal want to just sit down with a big slice of apple pie and forget all about it. But then who would keep track of all this drama, hmm?
