This didn’t age well.
An old tweet from Joe Biden claiming Trump “admires thugs and dictators like Nicolas Maduro” surfaced on Saturday after President Trump captured the Venezuelan leader following precision military strikes on the South American country.
During the 2020 election cycle, Joe Biden said if he were elected President, he would “stand with the Venezuelan people for democracy” as he criticized Trump for reportedly being open to meeting with Maduro.
“Trump talks tough on Venezuela, but admires thugs and dictators like Nicolas Maduro,” Joe Biden said in response to June 2020 report claiming Trump is “open to meeting with” Maduro.
“As President, I will stand with the Venezuelan people and for democracy,” Biden said.
We know how that turned out.
Of course, Joe Biden did nothing to stand with the Venezuelan people.
President Trump ordered military strikes on Venezuela and captured Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores very early Saturday morning.
Maduro and his wife were indicted on four counts, including a narco-terrorism conspiracy charge.
Trump later posted a humiliating photo of a blindfolded Maduro aboard USS Iwo Jima.

President Trump also posted video of the military operation in Venezuela.
WATCH:
During remarks on the military operation on Saturday, President Trump told reporters that the US will “run Venezuela” until they have a peaceful transfer of power.

If Maduro turned himself in, does he get the reward?
LOL! Biden was always the master of the malaprop and the awkward statement.
That first picture looks like Joe the Clown is squeezing one out.
Yes, Trump talks to everybody!
Even dictators and evil people.
Trying to tell them to amend their ways,
Unlike Biden, who could not talk to anybody!
I doubt that Biden is burdened by anything related to “memories”.
Slow Joe will soon be a haunt himself.
Very good!
Joe Biden... wrong on everything 24/7
bkmk
They let Maduro play video games aboard the Iwo Jima?
Love it ...
How will this have aged when we learn that the Biden Admin INVITED Maduro to send the Tren de Aragua gang into the US, covering many of to the Venezuelans’ expenses, into the tens of millions of dollars?
Would that spell T-R-E-A-S-O-N?
Comes back to haunt him? Naahh, all Biden cares about is what flavor of apple sauce are they going to give him tonight.
Joe Biden is lucky he is not in jail. He needs to just count himself lucky, then go home, stay home, & just shut up. America doesn’t need to hear anything he’s got to say.
