What catastrophic events are currently unfolding in Venezuela?
All hell is breaking loose in Venezuela following the catastrophic earthquakes on June 24th, resulting in approximately 2,000 confirmed deaths, tens of thousands of people still missing and likely dead and over 10,000 people injured. Compounding this catastrophe is that Donald Trump continues to support The authoritarian leader of Venezuela, Delcy Rodriguez, and her right hand, Diosdado Cabellos, the enforcer in their regime, continues to loot and pillage from the people of Venezuela, blocking critical aid, blocking the war. rescue efforts in Venezuela. And Donald Trump is blocking Maria Carino Machado, the duly elected leader of Venezuela, who was forced to give her Nobel Peace Prize to Donald Trump.
Trump is blocking Machado from returning to Venezuela. She wants to be with her people who are suffering there in Venezuela. The people are beyond fed up with this Delcy Rodriguez authoritarian regime, which is basically just the Maduro regime. They need aid. They need support. The Trump regime is pretending that's taking place, but they're supporting Delcy. Maria Karina Machado is trying to get there. She flew to Curacao, and the Trump regime refused to acknowledge her diplomatic status, so she was forced to return to the United States. She doesn't have a Venezuelan passport. The Trump regime continues to attack Machado. Remember, she was forced to give Donald Trump her Nobel Peace Prize, and now Donald Trump just says she's out.
I'm still supporting Delcy Rodriguez because Donald Trump wants all of that oil money from Venezuela.
How is Donald Trump exacerbating the situation in Venezuela?
Donald Trump wants to be applauded because he claims he's given $100 million in aid and support to Venezuela while looting over $5 billion. billion in oil money from the people of Venezuela. And in any event, that money is going to Diosdado Cabellos and to Delcy Rodriguez. And it's not reaching the people right now. The people are absolutely livid. This is what happens when you get into bed with authoritarians and you start to do joint ventures with the bad guys. But then wait a minute. Donald Trump is one of the worst. No, let me change that he's the worst authoritarian of them all right now let's just go through the facts receipt by receipt right now you know on june 24th of this year a magnitude 7.2 quake hit north central venezuela 39 seconds later a larger magnitude 7.5 ruptured at almost the same spot
We saw all the buildings get destroyed over there, 58,000 buildings that were likely destroyed. The death count right now was at about 2,000, over 10,000 injured, tens of thousands of people remain missing. The body bags that we're seeing there in Venezuela Look to be in the tens of thousands. And one story that is now getting more attention, and it certainly deserves this, is that the Trump regime deported about 148 people from the United States right before the earthquake took place on June 24th. And the Trump regime deported these people, took away their temporary protected status, put them in Simone Boulevard Airport, then transfer them to a nearby hotel. And the earthquake struck. This was Hotel Sanctuary, like a sanctuary hotel.
And then the hotel collapsed. About 140 people who were deported by ICE are likely dead right now. And they're missing as a direct result of the Trump regime's cruel behavior. You know, this past week, the United States Supreme Court ruled that basically there's no such thing as temporary protected status anymore. As long as Donald Trump says, I don't want TPS. So there's actually more people right now who are set to be deported to Venezuela.
Who is Maria Corina Machado and why is her return to Venezuela significant?
The cruel and unusual behavior by the Trump regime is just compounding the suffering right now. We'll just go through this step by step as the New York Times reports as well. U.S. undercuts Venezuela opposition leader as she tries to return. Maria Corina Machado is like, I want to be with my people. She's like, I won the last election. I want to be with my people enough. Donald Trump and the Trump regime, you've told me be patient, be patient. We'll do elections in the future.
