Who lost CITGO? Not Trump.
Story in RT about RUSSIAN_MEDDLING in one of Our Highly Valued Freedoms. Some US investors are supposedly trying to repurchase CITGO from the Venezuelan government because Trump allowed the Russians to MEDDLE in CITGO.
Total ratshit as always.

Bit of history: Cities Service began in Bartlesville in 1916. Unlike most early oil ventures, it wasn't doing its own wildcatting; it was a holding company for oil ventures. Along the way Cities Service grubstaked many of the biggest fields in Kansas and Okla, including the famous well next to the state Capitol building in OKC.
Personal: I grew up close to Cities Service. They owned a carbon black plant in Ponca, which is amazingly still active as part of Continental Carbon. For a while I rented a house with one of those OKC wells in its backyard. So the smells and sounds of Cities Service are part of my life.
In 1982 Cities Service was bought by Occidental, which then hived off the CITGO service stations to the 7-11 chain. In 1990 the whole company was bought by Venezuela, with no objection from the USA STRONG government.
Finally in 2016 Rosneft bought part of the Venezuelan state-owned petroleum company.
So. Who lost CITGO? Not Trump. Bush The Father allowed it to be nationalized by Venezuela, and Obama allowed Rosneft to buy part of it.
Trump wasn't around when those purchases happened. If Russia is our enemy, how come Lord And Savior Obama allowed it to Prevert Our Precious Bodily Fluids? (Oil, that is. Black Gold. Texas Tea.)
The answer is simple. Russia isn't really the target of all this ratshit. Trump himself isn't the target, because he's just another loyal Deepstate puppet. Trump's supporters are the target.
