We're Not Talking About It

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : Yesterday, news broke that he secretly authorized the CIA to take some sort of action in Venezuela, the details of which aren't clear and haven't been confirmed.
50% : This brings the total number killed up to 27. "Trump is truly aghast at how Maduro savaged the economy of a once-vibrant Venezuela," reports Nahal Toosi in Politico, mentioning how Trump appears to "genuinely dislike" Venezuela's president.
50% : But Trump isn't just satisfied with strikes on boats.
50% : " "Why did you authorize the CIA to go into Venezuela?" a reporter asked Trump yesterday.
44% : "I can only say that billions of dollars of drugs are pouring into our country from Venezuela," and that "a very strange election" put Nicolas Maduro in office, "to put it mildly." "What I can tell you is Maduro is a narco-terrorist," said Attorney General Pam Bondi, who has placed a $50 million bounty on Maduro's head, wanting him to face charges in the U.S. Earlier this week, another six suspected narco-traffickers were killed in a strike ordered by Trump on a boat in the Caribbean suspected of carrying drugs.
42% : Never one to keep his mouth shut, Trump told reporters a bit about his plans: "We are certainly looking at land now, because we've got the sea very well under control," he told reporters.
35% : If Maduro wants to be treated like a legit head of state, not the leader of a cartel, he isn't helping his own case: Nor is he interested in entertaining diplomatic pathways: One possible theory: This deportation flight was denied landing and turned around, possibly as retribution for Trump's choosing to strike the boats in the Caribbean.
