Whatever Trump touches dies. Do the oil companies know this?

Any oil companies that join Trump in gutting Venezuela may find Trump's magic touch touching them.
Trump's involvement in Venezuela will take many years, probably longer than Trump's control of the presidency.
His stealing oil and take over of Venezuela may very well be found to be illegal by another administration and any
entity involved with Trump's ploy might well suffer the consequences even after Trump is dead and gone.
Even before that, corporations that try to enrich themselves from Trump's crimes might find that other countries don't
look kindly on this and could find themselves dealing with international difficulties even before Trump is gone.

Wouldn't it be interesting if Trump couldn't get any oil companies to invest in his takeover of Venezuela.
