Hugo Chavez's 2006 UN speech could have been delivered by Trump a decade later

NEW YORK CITY (September 30, 2006). Your humble correspondent is no fan of Chavez's policies of totalitarian Marxism. However, his U.N. address, given on September 30, 2006, as it relates to the United States government's bellicosity, global imperialism, dollar hegemony and foreign adventures could very well have been delivered a decade later by Candidate Donald Trump.

Of course, we all know that with Trump, that "we just want to going back to doing business, leaving everybody else alone and not being the world's policeman" is a far distant memory.

This is an AI translation of the original speech.

And for those who are wondering, yes, this is the speech where Chavez refers to then-president George W. Bush as Satan ("The devil was here. You can still smell the sulfur"). Chavez wasn't wrong about that, either.
