This guy's grifting never ends. Qatar gives him a jumbo jet. Then he steals Venezuelan oil using the U.S. military like it is just one of his personal mafia enforces. Then (SURPRISE!) he stashes the proceeds of the stolen oil in an off shore Qatari bank account...and nobody bats an eye.
Just another day in Trump's dystopia.
And very soon he'll move on to the next outrage, like a shell game. Keep everybody guessing which shell that pea is under.
Soon nobody will even remember that he used our military to steal half a billion dollars from another sovereign nation and then fleeced U.S. taxpayers for it.
We'll never see a penny of it.
Either will Venezuela.
The White House has reportedly stashed millions of dollars from sales of Venezuelan oil in Qatari banks since the ouster of President Nicolas Maduro, raising huge questions about how the money will be allocated and if Congress and the American public will have a say.
An estimated $500 million from the first Venezuelan oil sales has already been deposited in U.S.-controlled accounts, but that could be the tip of the iceberg as American officials seek to broker sales of up to 50 million barrels of oil, Semafor reported Thursday.
It’s not clear what the money will be used for or who will decide how to allocate it.
Donald Trump has said he will use the money as he sees fit to stabilize Venezuela’s economy as part of a larger plan to “run” the country indefinitely, apparently while leaving Maduro’s former vice president Delcy Rodriguez in power.
The murky arrangement is likely to draw criticism and legal action from critics who say the money should be going directly into U.S. coffers or handled in a much more transparent way.
