Donald Trump says the U.S. will run Venezuela “until such time as we can do a safe, proper, and judicious transition.” There’s no plan for nation-building beyond handing the keys to American oil companies like Chevron.

The contrast is jarrin

Their actions say otherwise.   Project 2025 is MAGA’s ideological foundation, an unquestionable doctrine where loyalty to a leader eclipses loyalty to the Constitution itself. And It conveniently aligns with the interests of a new economic elite like Larry Ellison and Peter Thiel, who gain from a system that concentrates authority and weakens public accountability.   Yet e
