Trump shrugs off bombings of Venezuelan boats..
I have posted a number of articles from different media organizations on the same topic: Another sinking of a boat from Venezuela in international waters, ordered by Trump.
Today, while sitting in the Oval Office, Trump was quite pleased with himself, and made the following comments:
Trump told journalists in the Oval Office late Monday afternoon that future airstrikes could hit Mexican cartels smuggling drugs by land — and that there was little doubt about the culpability of the deceased boaters.
Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of joint chiefs of staff, “showed me a little while ago the clip, but you could actually see it. But you don’t have to see it, because we have recorded proof and evidence. We know what time they were leaving, when they were leaving, what they had, and all of the other things that you’d like to have,” the president said.
But we have noticed that there are no ships in the ocean anymore … meaning no drugs are coming across and [we are] probably stopping some fishermen too,” Trump added.
“I mean, to be honest, if I were a fisherman, I wouldn’t want to go fishing… I’d say, ‘Man, maybe they think I have drugs downstairs. I don’t want that.’… But no, there are literally no boats. This was a boat, and we were surprised to see it.”
Trump added: “That means there’s no drugs coming by sea, but they do come by land. And you know what we’re telling the cartels right now, we’re going to be stopping them too. When they come by land, we’re going to be stopping them the same way we stopped the boats. And you’ll see that.”
“But maybe by talking about it a little bit, it won’t happen. If it doesn’t happen, that’s good,” he went on.
“They killed 300,000 people in our country last year, and we’re not letting it happen anymore.”
