Headline slightly sensationalised compared to article content. But he did say he’d go to Venezuela if he loses.

I'm sure Maduro will welcome him with open arms.

This is slightly at odds with many Republican legislators because many people fleeing Venezuela are firmly on the right. When DeSantis did his whole transporting Texas asylum seekers, one of the main issues was that money for that was not to be used for people fleeing Venezuela.

Does Venezuela give consent? I guess that's never mattered before anyway.

[–] ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'd ask him to promise, but I know what his promises are worth.

Yep, I'm not clicking that. So the headline will have to do

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Tabloids are not gonna work for me

Does he know they don’t speak English there?

[–] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago

He barely speaks English as it is

[–] uebquauntbez@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Mr. Trump, you don't need to run there, start early and you can walk.

[–] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Put him on a bus.

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

As usual the US is doing everything it can do destroy Venezuela smh

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 3 points 1 month ago

Getting Maduro out would help Venezuela a lot. Sending Trump, not so much.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Can we all chop in for a ticket to send him now, save him the trouble of trying to come up with nicknames for Harris and Walz that they don't turn into positives? Like "Tampon Tim" ...."He's going to stop the red wave!" Which is how Trump ended up building Walz.

Edit: "chip" in. Economy of course.

[–] Zipitydew@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

I'd rather this become terms for jailing him now. Sounds like a potential flight risk ahead of sentencing for his 34 felony counts.

[–] mathemachristian@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago

That would be awesome he'd get a fair'trial there Im sure.

[–] Red_October@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Of all the times for that treasonous orange shit to lie, why did it have to be this one?

[–] norimee@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Haven't the Venezuelans to deal with enough shit?

He is like "Who around here is the most down, so I can kick them even more?"

[–] Otakulad@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

If he is being serious, please take all the MAGA Kool aid drinkers with you.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Interpol being notified? Escaped felons should be

[–] mjhelto@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

My question would be, "why wait?"

[–] GiddyGap@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

I've heard this before. What a baby.

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Wonder what Venezuela has to say about that.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago

Is that a promise?

[–] Resol@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I bet he'll run for president there too, and then fail, and then flee to another country that's most likely allied with Venezuela.

[–] Gingerlegs@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

lol, adding more reason to vote against himself every day. Gotta love it

Any way to make that legally binding?

Didn't he say he'll leave the US in 2020?
