Why did Donald Trump's plan to occupy Venezuela backfire?
Donald Trump is losing it right now as his invasion of Venezuela did not go as planned. Sure, he captured Nicolas Maduro, but Maduro looks happier than ever. He's given the cameras the thumbs up sign as he is in the federal prison in New York. right now when he was walking into the federal prison wishing people Happy New Year's. And I guess Donald Trump just thought what the people of Venezuela were going to be like, Hey, Donald, let us give you our oil. You can run Venezuela. As Democratic Congress member Eric Swalwell said, I'll play this clip in a little bit. He said Donald Trump couldn't even run a casino. You expect him to run a country like Venezuela of 28 million people? The people of Venezuela do not want Donald Trump to run or operate Venezuela or occupy Venezuela.
We're hearing from the former vice president, now the interim president of Venezuela, Delcy Rodriguez. And she's saying that she absolutely does not want Donald Trump to be occupying Venezuela. She says there's only one true leader of Venezuela, and that's Maduro. Also, the governors of the various regions loyal to Maduro, at least as of this recording, show no signs of surrendering or just handing over Venezuelan oil to Donald Trump. At the same time, Donald Trump threw the main opposition leader, Maria Corina Machado, under the bus. I mean, people expected that she was going to be the person who would be installed as the new leader of Venezuela. She was the main opposition leader.
What did Venezuelan leaders say about Trump’s attempted takeover?
She won the Nobel Peace Prize. I mean, she's someone who's supported by the Europeans, the Canadians, Australians, and others as a pro-democracy voice. That's at least, I'm just letting you know how they describe her. There are people who describe her differently, but I think she expected that she would be the new leader of Venezuela. But Donald Trump says the people of Venezuela do not respect Maria Corina Machado. He goes, she's a nice lady, but she doesn't have what it takes to actually rule and lead Venezuela. Trump says that he wants to be the one ruling Venezuela and occupying it for some uncertain period of time. in order to take their oil away and give it to the American oil companies. I mean, I just think that Donald Trump probably cut some deal with Putin and Xi Jinping, that he would take the Western Hemisphere and Xi Jinping can have Asia and Putin can take all of Europe and they would just share the spoils of invading all of these nations and extracting resources.
What other justification can you have for Donald Trump's the way Donald Trump is behaving right now. It just seems to make sense if you kind of put those puzzle pieces together right there. Now, Donald Trump's been making deranged post after deranged post all night. I'm talking about like 100 posts, post, post, post. And he's making posts like this again. On a day where the United States invaded a country, Venezuela, Donald Trump says it is an occupation to take their oil and that he's going to run it for an indefinite period of time, right? While the American people, I guess, want to see like some semblance of stability here, this is what Donald Trump is actually posting on his social media platform.
Donald Trump says the CIA overthrew the 2020 election, and that's why he lost in 2020.
How is Trump using social media to justify the Venezuela invasion?
This is a real post that Donald Trump made. Donald Trump reposts an account that says the Central Intelligence Agency toppled the United States government on November 3rd, 2020, live on national TV. And Donald Trump says 2.7 million Trump votes were deleted by Dominion. In 2026, as Donald Trump invades Venezuela, Donald Trump is saying the CIA overthrew the 2020 election. what a deranged maniac he is. Donald Trump also says that he is sending yet another warning to Nigeria after invading Venezuela. He says that the Nigerian government better move fast and stop killing the Christians or Donald Trump says he's going to come into your country, Nigeria, Guns a blazing. That's the video that Donald Trump put out that he's going into Nigeria.
Guns a blazing, he says. First, let me be very clear.
