Señor Beto es muy guapo. That compliment from Mr. Trump was the bright spot of an otherwise very upsetting week.

My close friend and advisor Stalin Gonzales had once again failed to achieve any concessions from Maduro, despite the very fair ask for us to control the board of directors for Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA).

That was yet another moment showing me my own failures and inadequacies. Being compared to such a bright star of your political system helped me through that dark time.
