CARACAS, Venezuela -- Venezuela's president delivered his most scathing critique of President Trump on Friday, telling him to stop intervening and "get your pig hands out of here."

Speaking before a crowd of supporters, President Nicolas Maduro accused Mr. Trump of promoting an interventionist policy that infringes on his socialist government's sovereignty.

"Go home, Donald Trump!" he said in heavily accented English....

President Nicolas Maduro is about as much a LEADER as Peewee Herman is a heavyweight boxer.

Venzuela was at one time a prosperous Country. Under Maduro and socialism it’s “gone with the wind.”

Better to be hated by some than loved by them. It shows who’s side you’re on.

This staged outburst by Maduro is for domestic Venezuelan consumption. A few days ago an audio tape was released of a Venezuelan general telling his subordinates to prepare to use snipers for crowd control, and it would be done under the fog of an order issued by Maduro that uses foreign invasion as the pretext to crack down on their domestic opposition.

When word gets out to the Venezuelan people that Maduro rejected monetary good will from Trump, they will be thinking it's time to put him into the dust bin of history. Mad is mad!

Monetary injections won’t help any problem. The statement of wanting to help ease the suffering of the people will move mountains. The blustering blather from a bus driver denouncing this statement from Trump will do far more to bring this whole episode to a crashing end than the driver turning his head to yell at the passengers. Guess who the first one is to get squished when the bus hits the back of a semi-trailer?

It will be a wicked crash. Trump's desire to help the people did more to put a spotlight on Maduro's reckless leadership. Maduro is leading one more Communist regime that will kill millions of people.

Trump’s done the right thing not getting us involved there.

DEFINITION:

MADURO: designating or of a cigar that has a dark-brown wrapper leaf

Even his name symbolizes death. Cigars are killers.

Why are Maduro and his cronies so fat while his people starve?

He should be called “Maduro The Fat”.

Oddly, I kind of agree with this Venezuelan second string quarterback.

President Trump, please don't waste your time and our money trying to help Venezuela. The commies own this disaster and the starving masses voted them into power.

Their only purpose now is to serve as a brilliant example of how socialism takes prosperous countries and destroys them.

A good old fashioned Latin American revolution is the only effective solution for Venezuelas problems. They should get on with it.

Trump should have stayed out of this fromthe beginning. Every day, Venezuela is proof-positive that socialism is a failed economic system.
