The convicted felon in the White House doesn't give a shit about drug criminals - he just pardoned one. He is after Venezuela's oil.

Is Trump really an oil guy?

It’s his second term, and he doesn’t care about the GOP after him, so it’s not like he needs funds for the next election, or needs to deliver on the economy.

And as I understand it he doesn’t have long term bonds of friendship with Texan oil folks.

Nepotism-wise, his kids only need one job each, that’s all squared away already. Trump needs allies who can keep him and his kids out of jail, but oil companies don’t have any super powers in that area.
