So, tRump invaded Venezuela because Maduro imitated his signature jerking off 2 giraffes dance

As if his humiliation was not complete, Nicolás Maduro is facing a new charge: copying Donald Trump’s dance moves.

The US president on Tuesday accused the ousted Venezuelan leader, who faces terrorism and drug trafficking charges, of imitating Trump’s signature hip-swaying and stiff arm-waving.

“He gets up there and he tries to imitate my dance a little bit,” Trump told a gathering of congressional Republicans in Washington.

The jibe appeared to reference a report that Maduro’s regular public dancing – he appeared on stage to a techno remix of his mantra “No War, Yes Peace” – and other displays of nonchalance in recent weeks contributed to the White House’s decision to abduct him.

‘One dance too many’: Insiders say Maduro’s ‘public dancing’ was final straw for Trump

In a time of truly crazy news, this might be the most insane thing I’ve ever read…

President Donald Trump authorized the unprecedented attack on Venezuela and kidnapping of President Nicholas Maduro Friday night after having escalated military threats against the South American nation for months, but according to two insiders who spoke with the New York Times, it was the “Maduro’s regular public dancing” that was Trump’s breaking point.

“It was one dance move too many for Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro,” the New York Times reported Sunday.

“Mr. Maduro’s regular public dancing and other displays of nonchalance in recent weeks helped persuade some on the Trump team that the Venezuelan president was mocking them and trying to call what he believed to be a bluff, according to two of the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk about the confidential discussions.”

Maduro has been filmed dancing in public multiple times in the lead up to his capture on Saturday, with several instances being documented in the last two months. He was seen dancing onstage during a student rally to a song championing peace in Caracas in late November, and he was filmed dancing with a robot operating with artificial intelligence at the Expo Motores Productivos event on Dec. 22, less than three weeks from his eventual capture.

Some critics, including Dylan Goforth, executive editor of the investigative news outlet The Frontier, perhaps in jest argued that Trump – known to frequently dance at his own rallies – was upset with Maduro for having stolen Trump’s “swag.”

An epidemic of insanity.

Evil people agree with Trump.

Christian Nationalists wishing for the end of times.

Nazis foaming at the mouth to govern the U.S.

How simple it was for podcasters to brain wash the masses.

The right destroying the education system by getting rid of critical thinking, civics, and problem solving. White washing
U.S. history.

The media pretending all of this is normal.

The bought and paid for Supreme Court.

Allowing corporations to control the U.S.

1/4 of the population has been replaced by pod people who are out to destroy the U.S.

We are in the Twilight Zone and none of this madness is real.

Take your pick or add to the list.

The Jerkin Off Two Giraffes. Thank You My Friend for the much needed chuckle. I hate trumps guts and the collective guts of republicans, those in office and those who voted for them. Let us not forget those who voted for him.
