The ENTIRE oil industry REJECTED Trump's stolen Venezuela oil. Trump is reportedly depressed, left alone to deal with his own mess.

American oil companies are openly refusing to pour money back into Venezuela’s shattered energy sector until they know the regime won’t seize assets again or threaten workers’ safety. API chief Mike Sommers put it bluntly: “There are going to have to be these key prerequisites if investment is going to flow.”

He said it is far too early to predict when companies will return because nothing about Venezuela’s legal framework guarantees that workers won’t be driven out or that infrastructure won’t be stolen all over again. Even industry leaders who have tolerated years of political games say the same thing: no reform, no investment.

And then came the split. Over the weekend, Donald Trump publicly suggested that ExxonMobil should be excluded from Venezuela entirely after its CEO said on Friday that the country is “uninvestible right now.” But Sommers insisted the entire industry is united on one point: major structural change must happen before anyone goes back.

This is the hypocrisy we’ve seen again and again from Trump’s orbit. They attack companies for describing reality, then pretend they’re the responsible adults in the room.

The American people have watched enough authoritarian swagger dressed up as economic strategy. We’re done letting reckless strongman politics threaten workers, investors, and entire nations... for NOTHING.

Even the corporate oligarchs are realizing now that Trump is just as big an idiotic, reckless, double-digit-IQ failure.
