Thanks.

Thanks.

I guess I could find that clip later, but I really don't want to hear his voice again.

I search the comment I get an X post by Jake Sherman referencing a Trump comment regarding Maduro. I'm not getting any other results.

You know what’s really bad.
M$Greedia is yet to condemn his language.
On another level Venezuela is not a US colony.

He wasn’t in charge of our military the last 20 years. Under such leadership anyone would be able to fuck around with the US.

Not only did he say it, he was proud of having said it. And JD thought it was hilarious.
