The world is a very scary place under President Donald Trump's rule. His words are often laced with dishonesty, yet there have been instances where he has spoken the truth – albeit with his signature bombast. The US president recently acknowledged that his primary motive for capturing Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro was to secure control of Venezuela's vast oil reserves.
This bold move is characteristic of Trump's unapologetic approach to global politics. He once proclaimed "Peace on Earth" as a New Year's resolution, but two days later, he was raining down deadly force on Caracas. The American public has grown accustomed to this duality of Trump's words and actions, with the former being far removed from his reality.
Trump aims to wield fear in Venezuela to remove Maduro and gain access to the country's valuable resources. This strategy relies on intimidation rather than regime change or military occupation. Even Cuba is feeling the pressure as Trump warns its leader to "watch his ass," while signaling a potential airstrike against Mexico aimed at drug cartels he claims are running the country.
The implications of this rhetoric extend across the Atlantic, as European allies now live in fear of Trump's words becoming reality. The US president has humiliated several world leaders, including Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky, and threatened to pull the plug on support for Ukraine if they stand up to him.
However, Trump sees himself as a global emperor rather than a national leader. He believes his own morality is the only thing standing between him and total domination. According to him, judges have limited power to restrain him under certain circumstances. This self-assessment raises questions about the limits of US authority worldwide and the accountability of its leaders.
Those who oppose Trump must now confront this reality head-on. While the arsenal at his disposal may seem formidable, major European powers and other nations do have leverage if they act in concert. Most importantly, the US public has a powerful tool: it can vote to take control of their government by flipping key seats in the House of Representatives in November.
Ultimately, it is time for the American people to overcome fear, unite against Trump's menace, and assert their voices honestly.

I'm really worried about where this country is headed under Trump's leadership... like, what's up with his words being totally different from what he actually does? 
He talks about "Peace on Earth" one day, then bombs someplace the next. It's like he has no idea how his actions are going to affect people's lives.
That's not leadership, that's dictatorship.
Which is just plain creepy.
he says one thing but does another and it's like, hello! 
i mean, what's next? him becoming a superhero with godlike powers?! 
the fact that europeans are living in fear of his words is crazy and it's like, hello accountability! 
we need to make sure our leaders aren't getting away with murder...literally 
so yeah let's unite against trump's menace and make our voices heard 
he's got no idea how his words affect people, like what even is with Venezuela? one minute he's all about peace on earth next minute they're getting bombed 
and now europe is getting all worried bc he's gonna pull out of some treaty or another? this dude has no idea what it means to be a real leader 
.
️ - it's time to stop being held hostage by trump's ego and start makin' some noise 
.
so i think its crazy how trump thinks he can just dictate what happens globally without any consequences... his ego is literally out of control 
and its not even like hes being strategic or effective in his moves lol
we need more empathy, understanding and diplomacy over all this aggression and fear-mongering 
- one minute he's talking about peace and harmony, the next he's raining down force on anyone who gets in his way 
. European countries are starting to wake up and smell the coffee
