Trump Warns Venezuela, MTG Shocked Voters Got What They Voted For
Marjorie Taylor Greene, reacting to Trump's rhetoric about striking Venezuela, expressed dismay that 'regime change, funding foreign wars' isn't what 'many in MAGA thought they voted to end.' This isn't just about Venezuela; it's a pattern. Remember when candidate Trump promised to end 'endless wars' but then escalated drone strikes and increased military budgets, like the $717 billion National
Defense Authorization Act signed in 2019? It seems the only thing 'America First' truly ended was any pretense of consistent foreign policy. One might wonder if the concern for 'American tax dollars being consistently funneled to foreign causes' extends to the $3.8 billion annually the US sends in military aid to Israel, a figure maintained and often expanded under administrations across the
political spectrum. Or is 'foreign causes' a selective term that only applies when it's politically convenient to critize? The consistent thread isn't non-intervention; it's simply which intervention gets the primetime outrage slot.
