1. For why Trump do that?

I'm in shock, so my grammatical skills may be a bit off . . .

I can think of a number of reasons why Trump did that.

1. Trump wants to rule the world, so he picks on weaker countries.
(Greenland may be next.)

2. Trump wants control over the oil reserves.
(Worth a lot of money, and Trump likes money.)

3. Emulating the Obama initiated strike on Osama bin Laden.

4. Epstein distraction.

And the BIG one!

5. Congress? Approval? I don't need no stinkin' approval for anything I do!

I think if Trump now thinks he has taken over Venezuela, he may be in for some disappointment.
