What is Donald Trump’s controversial plan for Venezuela and its oil?
Donald Trump is having an awful Sunday morning as people across the world and here in the United States are letting Donald Trump know what they really feel about him taking over Venezuela so he could seize the oil and keep other stooges from Maduro's regime still in power so that Donald Trump could work with the other authoritarians there to take the oil for himself. You know, the Venezuelan community in the United States, they were saying, did Donald Trump misspeak when he said he wants to work with the current vice president, now president of Venezuela, Maduro's right hand, Delcy Rodriguez? And Donald Trump threw uh Machado, the opposition leader, under the bus. People said, no, Donald Trump didn't really mean that.
He didn't mean that. He wants his own authoritarians in Venezuela. He doesn't want a democracy in there because he wants the oil for himself that he can share with Putin. Don't you realize that that's Donald Trump's plan right here? And you think Donald Trump could take that action without coordinating that with Putin? Come on, let's get real here. So here's how it's being reported in The Economist. Venezuelans at celebration parties in Miami could not believe it, insisting that Trump Must have misspoken during his press conference. You think he was misspeaking when he said, I want their oil, like 20 times during that press conference? His plan appears to be for Venezuela to remain under the day-to-day control of Maduro's people, with its democratically elected leaders excluded and its wealth controlled by American corporations.
Then there's a lot of articles today. How, you know, highlighting what we've highlighted here on the Midas Touch Network, how uh Machado, the opposition leader who backed Edmundo Gonzalez, uh, who most people believe won the July 2024 election with 70% of the vote, that she basically said everything that Donald Trump wanted to hear. Miss Machado, that's the main opposition leader in Venezuela, who all of the you know, Trump bootlickers Said Trump's gonna put her in power and she's gonna run Venezuela as a democracy. This is what's going to happen. Miss Machano had gone out of her way to please Trump, calling him a champion of freedom, mimicking his talking points on election fraud in the United States, and even dedicating the Nobel Peace Prize to him.
But it was all in vain. How Trump fixed on a Maduro loyalist. As Venezuela's new leader, Nicolas Maduro balked at a gilded exile. U.S. officials then saw a more pliant option in his vice president, Delcy Rodriguez, known for stabilizing Venezuela's economy. So Trump went all in on basically Maduro's right hand or one of the people in the regime, Delcy Rodriguez, and threw Machado under the bus. Um the article goes on to talk about as well how Maduro's constant dancing was one of the reasons why Donald Trump decided to invade Venezuela. And then White House settled on Delcie as an acceptable candidate. And they believed that she would be a good figurehead for Trump to run the country with, and that she would allow the oil companies to extract the oil for the United States.
Although she came out with a statement right away saying that Maduro is the only president, and she demonstrated swift defiance as the Times reported. Reports, her swift defiance of Mr. Trump made clear that his plans to swoop into South American nation and run it as his own face many more hurdles. than he suggested. But I just want to show you this right here quickly. This is when Donald Trump threw Machado under the bus and said that um she doesn't have the uh respect of the Venezuela people. I just want to be clear. You can have different views about Machado. And especially the fact that the way she's been behaving with Trump, things that she's been saying lately, total, totally, um, I think you could be very critical of.
It does seem though that when she backed Mundo Gonzalez in the 2024 election, they won that that election. Most people believe in Venezuela. So the fact that Donald Trump said she doesn't have the respect, she's a nice lady, but doesn't have the respect of the Venezuelan people here.
