I mentioned the astroturfed protest for Maduro, but I guarantee you that the protests celebrating his removal are far larger, and not one dollar spent on them. They were truly organic.

No pre-printed signs, just the Venezuelan flag flying proudly.

And what was missing? A huge military presence after the US frees a country.

The celebration of Maduro’s removal in Venezuela was one of the largest I’ve seen, and they are happening anywhere you have a large concentration of Venezuelan expats.

The media won’t dare interview real Venezuelans on this.

I’d like to deliver some good news as we expose Democrats, a group who is about to have the worst year, since losing the Civil War.

In what I promise you will happen again, and again…For the first time in RECORDED HISTORY, North Carolina now has more registered Republicans than Democrats.

I saw a meme that read: I’m done defending Somali fraudsters. This week I’m defending Nicolas Maduro.

How many limbs can you lose in Trump’s bear traps before you finally give up?

Venezuelans are doing the Trump dance. Frankly, I would love to visit Venezuela in a year or so. The dollar will be strong. The people will LOVE Americans, actually most already do.

Long before MAGA hats became a neurological trigger for progressives, Trump’s brand was welcomed straight into the heart of Leftism: Hollyweird. He was the brash billionaire builder, the embodiment of American excess wrapped in confidence and spectacle. He turned construction cranes and skyline silhouettes into cultural currency.

That acceptance didn’t plateau. It accelerated.

The Apprentice wasn’t a novelty hit. It was a juggernaut. NBC didn’t air it reluctantly; they structured prime-time around it. When Celebrity Apprentice followed, Trump crossed from wealthy curiosity to full-scale cultural authority. Careers rose and fell based on his approval. He wasn’t just famous anymore. He was consequential.

Trump had become a star-maker.

Anyone pretending otherwise is lying, and the archives are merciless. There are hundreds of clips, interviews, and quotes of Left-wing figures praising Trump openly. Joy Behar herself once declared she “loved Donald Trump,” a statement that now survives as an artifact she wishes would disappear:

Trump's Deposition of Maduro: A Strategic Pivot for the Western Hemisphere

On January 3, 2026, U.S. forces conducted a military operation in Venezuela, resulting in the capture of President Nicolás Maduro and the effective end of his regime.

This action, directed by President Donald Trump, marks a significant escalation in U.S. foreign policy toward Latin America. Beyond immediate regime change, the move addresses longstanding concerns about foreign influence in the region, while promising humanitarian, security, and economic benefits. By removing Maduro, the U.S. aims to neutralize Russian and Chinese footholds close to its borders, alleviate a massive refugee crisis, enhance national security, and foster a prosperous trading partner in Venezuela. This fits into a broader Trump administration strategy to reassert U.S. dominance in the Western Hemisphere, as evidenced by actions in Panama and alliances with leaders like El Salvador's Nayib Bukele.

Countering Undeniable Russian and Chinese Influence

Russia and China have maintained substantial presences in Venezuela for years, using economic and military ties to expand their influence in the Western Hemisphere. Russia provided Venezuela with loans exceeding $17 billion, often repaid in oil, and supplied advanced weaponry, including air defense systems.
