‘He Doesn’t Want to F*ck Around’: Trump Takes Victory Lap Over American Enemy Running Scared

 

President Donald Trump took a victory lap of sorts on Friday while taking questions from reporters at the White House, boasting that Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro is offering “everything” to him because he knows not to “f*ck around” with the U.S.

Trump was asked if he had “authorized CIA operations in Venezuela” and replied, “Well, I wouldn’t say that, but some interesting things are happening around the world, I’ll say that.”

Another reporter then asked, “It’s been reported, Mr. President—it has been reported that Maduro offered everything in his country, all the natural resources. He even recorded a message to you in English recently, offering mediation. What should we do to stop that?”

Trump replied, “He has offered everything. He’s offered everything, you’re right. You know why? Because he doesn’t want to f*ck around with the United States. Thank you, everybody. Thank you. Thank you, guys. Thank you, everybody.”

MSNBC anchor Katy Tur then picked it back up, saying, “Donald Trump, using a word we don’t normally hear on television there, put it that way. I’m Katy Tur —good to be with you. It is 2:12 p.m., and we have been listening to Donald Trump in the White House, in the Cabinet Room, with a number of his Cabinet officials and the Vice President.
