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.

    You are still arguing based on this thing called reason that is completely incomprehensible to Trump and his cronies.

      TBF the Military and Security Apparatus is still intact so Trump is probably not entirely wrong about the support being nonexistent.

      She might have the love of the people, but it’s not the people with the guns.
