Donald Trump sends fierce 4-word warning to Colombia's president as Venezuela ship seized

"Colombia is producing a lot of drugs," Trump told reporters.,,,"So he better wise up or he'll be next. He'll be next soon," he added. "I hope he's listening; he's going to be next."

What puzzles me is what personal profit his nibs sees in knocking over Columbia? Maybe his Honduran buddy, that he just let out of prison, promised him a cut of the loot, if Lord Trump makes his smuggling easier?

Oh, wait, now I understand.

Columbia's Top 10 Exports

Mineral fuels including oil: US$22.5 billion (45.3% of total exports)

Gems, precious metals: $4.3 billion (8.7%)

Coffee, tea, spices: $3.6 billion (7.2%)

Live trees, plants, cut flowers: $2.4 billion (4.8%)

Fruits, nuts: $1.8 billion (3.7%)

Plastics, plastic articles: $1.7 billion (3.4%)

Electrical machinery, equipment: $1 billion (2%)

Aluminum: $826.9 million (1.7%)

Animal/vegetable fats, oils, waxes: $781.2 million (1.6%)

Sugar, sugar confectionery: $715.2 million (1.4%)

And maybe he'll give wifey a necklace made from gems looted from Columbia? If anyone calls him on it, he's recycle the "Checkers speech".

If you visit Bogota, there are fellows trying to sell you emeralds in the touristy areas, but the gold and silver is in the jewelry stores. The gold mines are out in the mountains where it is risky to go. The cocaine industry is 18-20 billion dollars a year. So it's a threat at this point and the new Pres is in talks, etc., with the cartels.
