40. I do believe that it is important to note that Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, when he was alive and crazy like trump

tried to do the same, twice. He tried to give away a sword of Simon Bolivar to a couple of World leaders, but he was not able to, someone with a better mind than Chavez stopped him, and like trump now, he was only able to give them replicas.

For those who may not know who Hugo Chavez was, he was a so called "socialist" who in reality was a dictator, he died of cancer, and the speculation is that he, and other thugs from his regime opened Simon Bolivar's grave, took some bones out, made tea, and they all drunk it. All those who drunk the tea have died of cancer.

Simon Bolivar liberated Venezuela from the Spaniards, he also liberated Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and of course Venezuela, and he also helped with the liberation of Argentina, even though the credit has gone to Jose de San Martin, although Martin could not have been able to accomplish it without the help from Bolivar.

Why am I pointing this out? Because if one takes the time to analyze trump's moves to become a dictator, and compares the moves that Chavez made, you will find the parallelism, the use of the same methods which if trump and his minions are not stopped, the USA runs with the danger of becoming another Venezuela. IT CAN HAPPEN HERE!

So even stupidities like that of the sword he has copied from Chavez. He and Chavez are twins from different mothers, they both act/acted as if they owned the country, and they both serve a master, in Chavez case it was Fidel Castro, in trump's case is Putin.

That is why I tell some of my Venezuelan friends who think trump will end Maduro's regime, that it will not happen, Putin did not allow it in 2018, and won't allow it now. I hope that, for the Venezuelan people, that I am wrong. Chapter 9 of John Bolton's book "The Room Where it Happened", he talks about how Bolton was ready to bring Maduro down, but Putin gave the orders to trump to leave him alone, trump stopped Bolton, one of the reasons why trump is going after Bolton.
