Why don't you despise every leader USA has had during your lifetime? USA has, for a very long time, been supportive of dictators and warmongers, so long as it in in USA's economic interests.

Did you know he supported a coup attempt against Hugo Chavez... the current president of Venezuela
*former
Chavez is dead, if he's still president of Venezuela then fair play to him. Also, it's worth noting that the economic warfare engaged against Venezuela very much predates Trump's time in office.

If you're blaming Trump for Venezuela, you're a bit thick. And if you think a new leader will take a different path, you're even more thick.

That's not to say I'm impressed with Trump in this regard. Had he de-escalated this issue, I'd be hailing him. Sadly that's not the case. I guess USA really needs that oil. Either that, or they really don't want to see an economically successful socialist state.
