Donald Trump on Saturday said that he did not see Venezuela’s opposition leader Maria Corina Machado as a potential replacement for Nicolas Maduro after he was removed from power overnight.
“I think it would be very tough for her to be the leader. She doesn’t have the support within - or the respect within - the country,” Trump said, adding that he thought she was a “very nice woman” when addressing the potential for her to take power.
I guess I should watch closely and compare notes from all the other failed attempts to “bring democracy” (read: install puppets) to some oil-rich country, but I just can’t. Nothing good can come out of Trump’s regime.
