Venezuelan writer Emmanuel Rincón has called President Trump a "true champion of freedom" after the capture and arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.

Taking to X, he said: "On behalf of the people of Venezuela, thank you, President Donald Trump. You are a true champion of freedom and will go down in history as the greatest and most important president of the past century in the United States. Your name will be synonymous with liberator in Venezuela, and there will be a statue of you in our streets. Long live freedom."

I’m guessing most Venezuelans feel the same way.

Uplifting report. And, most curiously, from NewsWeek of all places.

Yep, I would think Trump may have him arrested and brought to the US.

Oh, but US communists are already out there crying about legality, and not being told. Heck, if the Dems had been told, they would have warned Maduro.

Elissa Slotkin is probably beside herself over it, knowing that she has just landed in the dustbin of history while this journalist and his message are on the right side of it.

He was but he's been indicted in the Southern District of NY.

Look around and you’ll find there are people right here on this forum condemning what President Trump did.

This sure as hell ain’t the forum it used to be.

I lost a step brother to fentanyl before it was realized how absolutely deadly it was so I couldn’t give 2 shits about technicalities and legalities.

Will be an interesting day in Miami. Most of the Latin people I know are thrilled. They’ve been hoping for this and are now wanting Cuba to be next

Venezuela, Iran, Cuba...Trump liberates three hellholes that have been abused and terrorized by left wing supported dictators for decades?

We need to get used to the fact that, the democrats are as much the enemy of this country as Iran. If Trump would have notified Congress, he might as well have called Maduro directly to inform him we were coming.

FAFO!

Somehow, this action will cause oppression to the poor Palestinian people in Gaza. (/sarc)
