But you have had a bit of pushback, which during this Trump administration is notable because Republicans in Congress, as we all know, have been remarkably acquiescent to Donald Trump.

So there was a vote in the Senate last week to advance legislation that would force Trump to seek approval from Congress to authorize any further military action against Venezuela.

And that passed 52 to 47.

And it included five Republicans, Rand Paul of Kentucky, Lisa Murkowski in Alaska, Susan Collins from Maine, Todd Young in Indiana, and Josh Hawley of Missouri.

So certainly by no means a majority of Republicans.

But five in this Republican era is not nothing.

And it really shows that there is at least some real concerns about what Trump is doing here.

Yeah, he's not entirely wrong there.

Now, look, the U.S.

attack on Venezuela is still young.

We don't know a lot about how people have reacted.

But what little polling we have, I am looking at polling data right now from YouGov.

And what you see is that in the last little sliver of time,

Since Trump attacked Venezuela, you saw Republican approval of the U.S.

using military force there just shoot upwards.

The latest that they have here is January 6th at 74 percent, 74 percent of Republicans supporting it.

Wow.

Yes, totally true.

And that's kind of what I wanted to get at here, which is Trump definitely has something that I don't think we've seen another U.S.

leader have before.
