Fox News Pundit: US-Run Venezuela Fits Trump's Drill, Baby, Drill' Plan Perfectly
"Donald Trump started out with the whole premise is that we're going to be energy independent; we are going to Drill, baby, drill'; we are going to make sure we're self-sufficient; we're going to drive down the cost of goods and make manufacturing good for the United States of America, he said. That is America First.' That's what he was elected to do."
"The president told reporters on Saturday the U.S. would get the oil flowing the way it should be because America had built that whole industry there. That has upset many Democrats like Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE), who complained about it to CNN's Jessica Dean on Sunday evening. Coons said Trump's tone sounded more like a mob boss than a president of a democracy."
Jason Chaffetz said President Donald Trump's plan to run Venezuela after capturing Nicolas Maduro aligns with Trump's 'Drill, baby, drill' energy pledge. Chaffetz said removing Maduro advances energy independence, drives down costs of goods, strengthens U.S. manufacturing, and improves national safety. Chaffetz added an operational benefit: one less narco-terrorist. Trump told reporters the U.S. would get Venezuelan oil flowing because America had built that industry there. Some Democrats, including Sen. Chris Coons, criticized the remarks and likened Trump's tone to a mob boss. Venezuelans celebrated abroad while anti-Trump protesters displayed signs opposing intervention and accusing the U.S. of killing for oil.
