MIAMI (AP) — President Donald Trump on Monday pleaded with Venezuela's military to support opposition leader Juan Guaido and issued a dire warning if they continue to stand with President Nicolas Maduro's government.

"You will find no safe harbor, no easy exit and no way out. You will lose everything," Trump said in a speech at Florida International University in Miami before large American and Venezuelan flags.

Trump added: "We seek a peaceful transition of power, but all options are open."

The Venezuelan military could play a decisive role in the stalemate but has largely remained loyal to Maduro.

1. No one in the US pays attention to trump and so why should someone in another country care?

2. Because this may be the only sensible thing trump will do in his short stunt at being president?

And because that is exactly what the Venezuelan people want, the country cannot sustain more years of the Maduro "Chavista" regime, that is why.

Its a corrupt government continually robbing the Venezuelan people, getting rich from the oil and other business from the country while destroying its infrastructure, torturing, killing, fomenting division, catering to Russian, China, Cuba, Hezbollah, Iran, the FARC (what is left of it), the drug cartels, and the worst that humans can produce.

This is not about trump, it is about Venezuela and the Venezuelan people.
