There’s something inherently ironic in calling out a Billionaire he claims is looking out for Billionaires interests. Given the U.S Navy’s, his branch of service, track record of well. Looking out for Billionaires interests. Or least the era’s equivalent of Billionaires. In the name of the Constitution.

That’s how the phrases “Banana Republic” and “Gunboat Diplomacy” were coined. Though to be fair the U.S wasn’t entirely responsible for the coining of “Gunboat Diplomacy.”

But Banana Republic? yeah that was almost entirely all us. U.S Companies, often fruit companies, would overthrow a Central American or Caribbean government. The U.S Military, including Marines, would march in as ‘Peacekeepers’. While the Corporation installed a puppet Government that served their interests. Ala “Banana Republic”. Though we obtained Hawaii much the same way. Except we went full territorial annexation in that case.
