Trump just placed a $50 MILLION bounty on Venezuela's president.
"He flooded America with fentanyl."

With his own $50M counter-bounty that shocked Washington.
And now he's about to learn why you never blackmail Trump:

US Vice President and Secretary of Defense loathe Europe (as they try to extort money out of it).
I wonder how much more evidence the UK government needs that Trump et al are deeply unreliable and we need to pivot towards Europe.

So the art of the deal is to agree to everything the opponent wants, but still call it a win?
My wise grandfather used to say that the more you know, the more you realise how little you know. Trump may be the exception to the rule…#DonaldTrump @realDonaldTrump
Trump’s expertise is truly unparalleled—he's the only man who could outdo Einstein in physics, outcook Gordon Ramsay, outcoach Belichick, outthink Sun Tzu, and still have time to mispronounce "anonymous" on live TV.
