But then so is Trump. Each one is an asscheek, they go together.

a foreign head of state.

Considering the elections are disputed they can claim he's not an elected leader.

All of the oil companies will. Probably the fruit companies too.

Which US company is benefiting from the illegal attack?

DJT/Mar-a-Lago realestate holdings inc.

Chevron

The dude is much better guarded and his people and the international community actually like him.

Oil, it has the largest unexploited oil deposits of any nation on earth.
