‘He Does Have to Watch His Ass’ — Trump Warns Colombia’s Petro Following Maduro’s Capture
Asked about Petro’s comment that he was “not concerned about anything happening to him in the aftermath of this operation,” Trump responded: “He has cocaine mills. He has factories where he makes cocaine. And yeah, I think I stick by my first statement. He’s making cocaine and they’re sending it into the United States, so he does have to watch his ass.”
The comments follow an earlier incident in December in which Trump warned that Petro “better close up those cocaine factories,” citing at least three major cocaine production facilities in Colombia. At the time, Trump said the U.S. government had direct knowledge of their locations and called Petro “a troublemaker,” adding, “he better watch it.”
Petro, a self-described Marxist and former guerrilla, has clashed repeatedly with U.S. authorities since Trump returned to office. The Colombian leader was previously sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury and had his visa revoked after publicly urging the U.S. military to disobey Trump’s orders and join a “multi-national” force to “free Palestine.” He has also sparked diplomatic rows with the United States over deportation flights, referred to Trump as an “obstacle to democracy,” and even suggested that “humanity” should “get rid of Trump,” snapping his fingers in a widely condemned interview that aired in October.
The escalating tensions between Trump and Petro come in the wake of a historic U.S. military operation that led to the capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro.
Letter To The Editor
“my team?”
This is nothing but a political campaign stunt where Julie Giordano is campaigning for the upcoming Primary on June 26, 2026, a little over 6 months away and the General Election in November!
“my team?” That’s right, you read it right! Julie Giordano plans on using county employees to campaign for her during work hours at our expense! Yes, our expense, the county taxpayers! It’s time to get someone to step up to the plate to run for County Executive and then fire her and everyone that helped her campaign illegally and unethically! If you don’t think this is a campaign stunt, the last the last year of her time in office with 6 months before her Primary then you are a brain dead RINO who doesn’t deserve to vote in Wicomico County! She’s desperate and she is running scared! Why didn’t she do this the previous 3 years if she really wanted to support small businesses! Oh, and she used a blue heart for the liberal that she is!
