What is fundamentally different between Trump and Chavez?

Of course Chavez wears the label Socialist, and Trump wears the label Capitalist. But I call bullshit on both. They are both dictators. Both feel/felt comfortable making unilateral decisions to expropriate private assets.

And of course most of all both use the Bread and Circuses method of populism.

We need to be vigilant.

Venezuela was the richest country in South America in the 1970s and still sits on the largest reserves of oil.

Yet it is a failed state where the police and military are running the black markets while the people wither.
