Yeah, no. The “Taiwan is just like Venezuela” wins the prize for the most insane take of 2026 thus far.

Don’t be foolish; that’s not what I said or implied. Taiwan and Venezuela are not the same, except that by manhandling Venezuela, Trump has handed Taiwan to China, giving Xi the “sphere of influence, if.America.can.do.it.in.her.own.backyard.so.can.we.” excuse he needs to gather in the wayward province of Taiwan.

Proof positive that Trump can’t even play checkers, let alone 4D chess.

We have a madman in the White House who has no clue what he is doing, and what he is destroying. He sees a shiny object and reaches for it. His statecraft doesn’t go much beyond that.
