he knew that Biden would be on TV tonight and would be complimenting his administration/people (Biden's) for putting this deal together and making it happen.

Tr**p had to beat him to the punch.

That's what Tr**p does. He takes credit for things he hasn't done and blames others when he can't take credit.

Prove your assertions.

Maduro is a criminal and dictator.

According to estimations by the United Nations (UN) and Human Rights Watch, under Maduro's administration, more than 20,000 people have been subject to extrajudicial killings and seven million Venezuelans have been forced to flee the country

60 Minutes interviewed a bunch of rural voters

When 60 Minutes told them they were one and
