Not long ago, Venezuela was the wealthiest nation, by far, in South America. But years of socialist rule have brought this once-thriving nation to the brink of ruin. That’s where it is today.https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings...can-community/
The tyrannical socialist government nationalized private industries and took over private businesses. They engaged in massive wealth confiscation, shut down free markets, suppressed free speech, and set up a relentless propaganda machine, rigged elections, used the government to persecute their political opponents, and destroyed the impartial rule of law.
In other words, the socialists have done in Venezuela all of the same things that socialists, communists, totalitarians have done everywhere that they’ve had a chance to rule. The results have been catastrophic.

Peace-loving nations are ready to help Venezuela reclaim its democracy, its dignity, and its destiny. All the nations in our hemisphere have the shared interest in preventing the spread of socialist tyranny. Socialism, by its very nature, does not respect borders. It does not respect boundaries or the sovereign rights of its citizens or its neighbors. It’s always seeking to expand, to encroach, and to subjugate others to its will.
The twilight hour of socialism has arrived in our hemisphere — (applause) — and, frankly, in many, many places around the world. The days of socialism and communism are numbered not only in Venezuela, but in Nicaragua and in Cuba as well. (Applause.)

Socialism promises prosperity, but it delivers poverty.
Socialism promises unity, but it delivers hatred and it delivers division. Socialism promises a better future, but it always returns to the darkest chapters of the past. That never fails. It always happens.
Socialism is a sad and discredited ideology rooted in the total ignorance of history and human nature, which is why socialism, eventually, must always give rise to tyranny, which it does. (Applause.) Socialists profess a love of diversity, but they always insist on absolute conformity.
We know that socialism is not about justice, it’s not about equality, it’s not about lifting up the poor. Socialism is about one thing only: power for the ruling class. (Applause.) And the more power they get, the more they crave. They want to run healthcare, run transportation and finance, run energy, education — run everything.
They want the power to decide who wins and who loses, who’s up and who’s down, what’s true and what’s false, and even who lives and who dies. (Applause.)
In short, all of us here today know that there is nothing less democratic than socialism. Everywhere and anywhere it appears, socialism advances under the banner of progress, but in the end, it delivers only corruption, exploitation, and decay.
Den 16-åriga gymnasisten med Donald Trump-keps som figurerade i det virala demonstrationsklippet från Lincolnmonumentet blev snabbt symbol för den rasism som frodas i Trump-eran. Sanningen var en annan och nu stämmer pojkens familj Washington Post på 2,3 miljarder kronor för förtal.https://www.dn.se/nyheter/varlden/ut...-23-miljarder/

Uppståndelsen kring den 16-årige Nicholas Sandmann började den 19 januari med en film där det framstod som att pojken med ett hånflin demonstrativt stod i vägen för en äldre man från den amerikanska ursprungsbefolkningen, medan Sandmanns kamrater såg ut att uppmuntra honom. De upprörda reaktionerna blev omedelbart omfattande.
...
Man ser också att det är den äldre mannen från ursprungsbefolkningen som väljer att gå mot Sandmann och slå på sin trumma på mycket nära avstånd.
