🇺🇸 Trump Captures Venezuela’s Maduro

Happy Monday, Patriots!

President Trump issued a blunt ultimatum this weekend after the dramatic capture of Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro — warning remaining power brokers to surrender or cooperate.

Following a tightly coordinated U.S. operation that removed Maduro from power and brought him to New York to face federal charges, Trump made clear the mission isn’t over. According to senior reporting, the president personally warned Maduro’s inner circle that any attempt to resist or regroup will be met with swift consequences.

Trump framed the operation as a decisive blow against narco-terrorism, corruption, and decades of socialist rule — and a chance for Venezuela to finally chart a new course.

The message from Washington is unmistakable: the old regime is finished — and America is not backing down.

✅TRACKING TRUMP✅

History was made over the weekend when President Trump ordered Operation Absolute Resolve - the successful capture and extraction of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro and his wife from Caracas. Trump announced that America seized the narco-terrorist without a single American casualty, bringing Maduro to New York to face decades of drug trafficking charges that could see him locked up for life. The United States will temporarily run Venezuela until a proper democratic transition can take place, Trump explained from Mar-a-Lago, calling it a modern application of the Monroe Doctrine - or as he put it, the "Donroe Doctrine."

While Venezuelan exiles celebrated in the streets from Las Vegas to Madrid, Democrats immediately launched fundraising campaigns attacking the operation, with DNC Chairman Ken Martin calling it an unconstitutional power grab. Trump isn't stopping there. He issued a stark warning to Colombian President Gustavo Petro to shut down his cocaine factories, telling reporters bluntly that Petro "does have to watch his ass."

🔔 Trump Captures Venezuela’s Maduro🔔

President Trump announced Saturday morning that Venezuelan socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores were "captured and flown out of the country" following a series of explosions that rocked Caracas overnight. Trump provided details during a Mar-a-Lago press conference, revealing that Operation Absolute Resolve was conducted jointly with U.S. law enforcement and resulted in zero American servicemembers killed or injured. The United States successfully carried out a large scale strike against Venezuela and its leader Maduro, who has been captured along with his wife and removed from the country. Trump promised further details about the operation during the press conference.

Maduro maintained power through a series of sham presidential elections and was actively wanted by U.S. authorities on multiple narco-terrorism charges. The United States had an active $50 million bounty for information leading to Maduro's arrest and conviction. U.S. courts accused Maduro in 2020 of being a leading figure, if not the leader, of the Cartel of the Suns, an international cocaine trafficking operation led by top members of the Venezuelan regime that sought to flood the United States with cocaine to harm its people.

Venezuelan Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino López, who is also wanted by the U.S. on drug trafficking charges, addressed the nation moments after the strikes through a video posted on Instagram, denouncing them as an invasion representing the greatest outrage suffered by Venezuela. Padrino López rejected the narco-terrorism accusations and claimed the strikes were part of a regime change operation to submit Venezuela to the American Empire, calling for the international community to rally around Venezuela and condemn the United States.

Venezuelans celebrated the dictator's capture across the world. One Venezuelan woman who spent the last seven years in Chile expressed that she was immensely happy and overjoyed about the fall of Maduro, according to Reuters. Daniel Di Martino, a Venezuelan immigrant and fellow at the Manhattan Institute, explained in a NewsNation interview that Venezuelans were tired of 26 years of a regime that forced nearly one-third of them to leave their country, which is why he has no immediate relatives in Venezuela after his entire family left in the last ten years.

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that Maduro and his wife have been indicted in the Southern District of New York with Maduro charged with Narco-Terrorism Conspiracy, Cocaine Importation Conspiracy, Possession of Machineguns and Destructive Devices, and Conspiracy to Possess Machineguns and Destructive Devices against the United States.

The Democratic National Committee launched a fundraising campaign in protest of Trump's capture of Maduro, with an email declaring "Another day, another unconstitutional war from Trump, who thinks the Constitution is a suggestion." The email claimed Trump ordered an unauthorized attack against Venezuela and stated "The most important thing we can do is elect more Democrats who will check this administration's power." DNC Chairman Ken Martin released a statement condemning the arrest and claiming Trump acted illegally, declaring "This is the worst kind of betrayal from Trump. He committed the United States to an uncertain rile in South America with an indeterminate timeline." Martin claimed Trump is ready and willing to endanger Americans and abandon the Constitution as a last-ditch effort to hold on to power and relevancy.

Far-leftists gathered outside the United States Embassy in Madrid to protest against the "imperialist" overthrow of Venezuela's former socialist dictator. Hundreds of protesters took to the streets outside the U.S. Embassy in the Spanish capital on Sunday afternoon chanting slogans including "Out with the criminal gringo!", "We don't want to be an American colony!", and "Out with the Nazi murderers!" according to El País. The protest on Sunday contrasted sharply with a significantly larger demonstration on Saturday in Madrid comprised mostly of members of the Venezuelan diaspora, many of whom fled their homeland to the Spanish capital to escape the brutality of Maduro's socialist regime, with an estimated 2,500 demonstrators celebrating the dictator's fall.

The capture and removal of Maduro represents the culmination of Trump's maximum pressure campaign against Venezuelan narco-terrorism and socialist tyranny that has devastated one of South America's formerly wealthiest nations. Attorney General Bondi stated that Maduro will face the full wrath of U.S. justice for his decades of drug trafficking and crimes against humanity.
