Maduro was standing next to his wife Cilia Flores and several high ranking military officials for the event broadcast on radio and television.

The socialist scum in this country want to bring more of this crap here.
He’s much healthier looking.
Pffft! The Mexicans enforce THEIR border. I hear they have something against foreign nationals even owning land. But Trump is a racist for wanting to keep people who have no respect for this nation or its people out.
Maduro is an idiot.
He should have at least learned a few things from Libya’s Qaddafi.
First, create a hundred or more ways to spell your name.
Second, proclaim yourself a Colonel, not a General, in your own army.
The leftist dictators of today seem to lack the proper historical context for their efforts.
I blame our educational system.

Yeah whoever aimed missed the target.
Wow! I saw the video (in Spanish ) where he was announcing that the time had come - for his newest and even more hideous economic plan. And then the sound and the soldiers runnng for their lives. I have since read that several people were injured but, according to the “Ministry of Communications,” Maduro was uninjured. However, one very early report said he’d died, and he hasn’t been seen, to my knowledge.
