will help Venezuela get rid of the Maduro regime.

Not sure why she doesn't understand that trump is not on the side of Democracy but on the side of fascism. According to John Bolton and Olivia Troye, they have said it many times that trump admires Maduro, he wants to be like Maduro. On chapter 9 of John Bolton's book "The Room Where it Happened" (dedicated to Venezuela and his efforts to down the Maduro regime), he explains that Bolton had all the pieces in place to bring Maduro down, Putin called trump and told him that Maduro was "Strong and Intelligent" so trump called Bolton and told him to leave Maduro alone, that Maduro was (you guessed it) "Strong and Intelligent". Then Olivia Troye went on TV and said that trump wanted to be like Maduro, all these attacks on little boats without proofs of drug smuggling is just a show, and of course a crime. I may be wrong but, I don't think trump will go after Maduro, if anything, he may retaliate against Maria Corina just because she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

I hope that I am wrong and the USA will help that country get rid of that awful regime, but I have my doubts, mostly when trump is actually following the blueprint from Venezuela. If anyone cares about current history, find the information on how Chavez was able to implement a fascist (communism is fascism) regime, and how Maduro has kept it going, then compare with what trump is doing in the USA and you will find the parallels, its the same blueprint for all fascists everywhere.
