What puzzles me is what personal profit his nibs sees in knocking over Columbia? Maybe his Honduran buddy, that he just let out of prison, promised him a cut of the loot, if Lord Trump makes his smuggling easier?

Oh, wait, now I understand.

Columbia's Top 10 Exports

Mineral fuels including oil: US$22.5 billion (45.3% of total exports)

Gems, precious metals: $4.3 billion (8.7%)

Coffee, tea, spices: $3.6 billion (7.2%)

Live trees, plants, cut flowers: $2.4 billion (4.8%)

Fruits, nuts: $1.8 billion (3.7%)

Plastics, plastic articles: $1.7 billion (3.4%)

Electrical machinery, equipment: $1 billion (2%)

Aluminum: $826.9 million (1.7%)

Animal/vegetable fats, oils, waxes: $781.2 million (1.6%)

Sugar, sugar confectionery: $715.2 million (1.4%)

And maybe he'll give wifey a necklace made from gems looted from Columbia? If anyone calls him on it, he's recycle the "Checkers speech".
