President Donald J. Trump just notched another huge win on the world stage, and Democrats are furious. At least, they want us to think they are.
Trump greenlit the operation that snagged Nicolás Maduro, the narcoterrorist and socialist dictator. Now Maduro sits in American custody. Democrats want to believe that Trump committed a war crime, invaded another country, got us into an “illegal war,” and all that. But, they’re not angry about what Trump did. They’re angry because Trump did it after they spent years talking about it.
Democrats spent years screeching about Maduro's iron-fisted rule. Unfortunately, their Trump Derangement Syndrome trumps everything, even crushing a dictator who menaced our backyard.
It’s true, and we have the receipts.
Back in February 2020, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) sneered, “And the President brags about his Venezuela policy. Give us a break. He hasn’t brought an end to the Maduro regime. The Maduro regime is more powerful today and more entrenched today than it was when the President began.”
Boy, it sure sounded like he wanted Trump to end the Maduro regime. Well, fast-forward to Sunday, and he’s telling George Stephanopoulos that Trump’s actions were “reckless” and that Americans are now living in fear.
“This is reckless,” he said. “And the American people are just, this morning, in fear of what’s going to happen here.”
And he wasn’t alone.
Here’s what Sen. Dick Durbin had to say back in 2019:
The people of Venezuela deserve better than this. We can’t allow this President’s short attention span to stop us from delivering on our promise to help the Venezuelan people rebuild their country. Boredom or fomenting a new crisis elsewhere is no excuse for inaction. https://t.co/Ski5RPGMop— Senator Dick Durbin (@SenatorDurbin) June 20, 2019

Nicolás Maduro repeatedly denied the will of the Venezuelan people, including when two thirds of them voted for an end to decades of political & economic ruin and criminality.
However, I disagree with President Trump’s use of U.S. military forces without Congressional approval &…— Senator Dick Durbin (@SenatorDurbin) January 3, 2026
So brave.
All talk, all saliva, no action !
You aren't going tt be able to set the narrative this time, Chucky.
The only Americans who are scared are those who are guilty of something.
All hat, no cattle. But of course Durbin got it
backwards.
Or was that Schumer? Their all of the same cloth
John Kerry- “i was for the $87 billion before i was against it”...
Their idea of dealing with it would be to try to get a UN Resolution to condemn him. (At which point, Maduro would yawn - and go back to dictatoring.)
Or maybe try to get countries to pledge to not buy their oil. (But then the countries would buy it anyway a couple months later or have it siphoned through an acceptable country.)
All for show but nothing would happen. Yet they would still claim they “did something” to an evil dictator.
Wonder how many Democrats have won elections thanks to Venezuela and their Smartmatic voting?
Or, how many stolen elections have happened and their Venezuelan Deep State proxies are to be thanked and applauded behind the scenes.
