don't believe the bullshit they're spewing about wanting Madura to step aside.
Trump is looking to learn from Madura how to lose an election and remain in power.
Let's pay attention.

Donnie doesn't care about democracy in Venezuela. Donnie cares about Donnie.
Don't believe what they say, watch what they do.

Maduro may have run Venezuela's economy into the ground, but they still have a lot of natural resources to exploit, and there are probably still a few hundred thousand large gold coins of theirs that are still sitting in Cuba, waiting to be shipped to Toronto.Some were sold in Europe, but most of the ones sold so far were sold in Toronto, and then on to the USA.
