President Trump’s effort to turn the U.S. military into an investor in Venezuelan oil is a blatant abuse of power and taxpayer dollars.

Six months later, not a single objective has been achieved. Indeed, he has weakened our position in the Middle East and the world significantly.

While the President and his family accumulate billions of dollars through dubious deals, normal hardworking Americans are struggling just to get by.
