        The soccer route to Latin America is a brilliant stroke of genius! In the meantime, America is fully engaged with, nay distracted by, a moron in the WH. A moron, btw, who's doing his damnedest best to insert a permanent wedge between the USA and the rest of Latin America.

        Ugh. We’re over here fighting and China is buying up half the world. Thanks Trump! I’d be surprised if he can put on his pants correctly.

        They have done the same in Africa, and I’m sure they will be providing funding for critical infrastructure projects in the near future, if not already.
