Trump Announces Soon-To-Start 'Stop Them By Land' Plan, Forgetting Map Exists
KEY POINTS
- •President Trump confirmed US efforts to stop suspected Venezuelan drug traffickers would begin on land very soon.
- •This announcement followed an increase in US military activity in the Caribbean targeting drug boats.
- •Despite designating Nicolás Maduro as a terrorist on Monday, Trump said he planned a diplomatic talk with him.
- •Trump said smugglers appeared deterred from using sea routes, so the focus would shift to land, which he called easier.
On Thanksgiving, President Trump revealed his latest idea to tackle Venezuelan drug traffickers: stamp them out on land 'very soon,' apparently because planes and boats got tired. With U.S. military buildup in the Caribbean smashing alleged drug boats, Trump casually mentioned plans to chat with Nicolás Maduro — who was just labeled a terrorist boss by the U.S. this Monday — proving diplomacy is just a confusing side quest. Trump bragged about smugglers avoiding sea routes, then dropped the bomb: 'land is easier,' as if the Venezuelan jungle is just a backyard BBQ. Advisors are either nervously updating their calendars or Googling 'land border' for the first time.

When boats quit smuggling, Trump gets epic: 'Let's stop drugs by land!' Next stop: balloons, pigeons, or maybe smoke signals.
Trump’s new anti-drug strategy sounds like my plans to avoid chores: just start somewhere on land and hope for the best.
Nothing says tactical genius like confirming 'land is easier' while US troops stare at a map labelled Venezuela wondering what shoe to drop first.
