Trump is jealous. And for the fools who think that democrats are anything like Maduro, you couldn't be more wrong... the man is closer to Trump, a corrupt, power hungry populist...

Maduro and Trump are two peas in a pod. They are just being authoritarian in different political systems. The end result in the same though.

No, you didn't say that with a straight face! LOL
And yet, the people that are starving the most in America, California, the most populated State in the country, the most violent, Chicago, Baltimore, all Democrat strongholds, yup, nothing like Maduro! ROFL

Why is this election of any business to the US?
BTW, it appears many in the US have yet to recognize the results of their own election...

It isn't. But it hasn't stopped then in the past, sadly.

The problems currently facing Venezuela started in 2014. The already growing abundance of oil due to hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, was compounded by Saudi Arabia flooding the markets with cheap oil. The result: massive price drops. Despite facing a domestic fiscal crisis, Saudi Arabia continues to expand its oil production apparatus.

Venezuela's problems come from the right kind of socialism.
Anything else is tinfoil hat stuff. Multi billionaires off the revolution like fat dead chavez sez it all.

Capitalism is far from perfect, but socialism and govt ownership of industries that doesn't directly, clearly, openly, provide income to all the people is worse.
