You think that it is believable that Trump said that.
Yup, because we've all actually heard Trump say all kinds of stupid crap.
I noticed the economy "starting to turn" well before the election. But things don't all happen at the same time everywhere. I understand that.
What I really know is that I guy I didn't vote for looks like he is turning the economy around and nobody can talk about that.

You seem to have conflated "looked" with "comprehended" in your visit to that page. Factual story.

This is the first I've heard this. I swear every time I start thinking well maybe he isnt REALLY a true neocon, here comes another 'accolade'.
FFS
He’s worst than a neocon. Actually, he’s a neocon puppet and doesn’t even know it.
It's amazing the deluded people who actually think Trump is an opponent of the neocons or the deep state.
They're using him as a prop and soon they’ll discard him.
lol, you literally missed my point 🤣🤣🤣

If I lived in Venezuela I would love to be liberated from that despotism.
In an exchange that lasted around five minutes, McMaster and others took turns explaining to Trump how military action could backfire and risk losing hard-won support among Latin American governments to punish President Nicolas Maduro for taking Venezuela down the path of dictatorship, according to the official. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the discussions.
But Trump pushed back. Although he gave no indication he was about to order up military plans, he pointed to what he considered past cases of successful gunboat diplomacy in the region, according to the official, like the invasions of Panama and Grenada in the 1980s.
The idea, despite his aides’ best attempts to shoot it down, would nonetheless persist in the president’s head.
The next day, Aug. 11, Trump alarmed friends and foes alike with talk of a “military option” to remove Maduro from power. The public remarks were initially dismissed in U.S. policy circles as the sort of martial bluster people have come to expect from the reality TV star turned commander in chief.
But shortly afterward, he raised the issue with Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos, according to the U.S. official. Two high-ranking Colombian officials who spoke on condition of anonymity to avoid antagonizing Trump confirmed the report.
Then in September, on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly, Trump discussed it again, this time at greater length, in a private dinner with leaders from four Latin American allies that included Santos, the same three people said and Politico reported in February.
The U.S. official said Trump was specifically briefed not to raise the issue and told it wouldn’t play well, but the first thing the president said at the dinner was, “My staff told me not to say this.” Trump then went around asking each leader if they were sure they didn’t want a military solution, according to the official, who added that each leader told Trump in clear terms they were sure.
Eventually, McMaster would pull aside the president and walk him through the dangers of an invasion, the official said.
