More proof Trump doesn't know what he's doing.

Meeting with US oil companies on Friday, Trump asked Halliburton CEO why the company left Venezuela.

In the most delicate way possible, the CEO explained that the company had to leave because of the sanctions imposed against Venezuela in 2020.

It went unmentioned that Trump was President (2017-2021) when those sanctions were imposed.

I shudder to think how much wreckage he’s gonna leave behind that we’ll be left to clean up by then.

I also don't think that things will return to "normal" when he is gone.
