It was probably easy to do, so he did it? I was pretty sure, he would not engage in all out war to capture him and he didn't. I thought he was just bullying Venezuela. However, Dump is a bull in a china shop. Actions have consequences. Sure, it seems cool to apprehend someone like Maduro, but there are long-term consequences, just like Iraq. Donnie can't see beyond his approval ratings.

Where will we bomb next? Greenland? Iran?
