Truly Trumpian grift. Insider trading on an illegal invasion.
“What appears to be a newly created account appeared to invest $30,000 Friday in Maduro's exit. After Maduro went into custody Saturday morning, that same investor netted $436,759.61.”
Someone made $400K by predicting Maduro's capture. Here's what happened
The winnings come as the rules governing prediction markets are still evolving.

Their messaging is so fucking incoherent. Maduro was an illegitimate leader who lost in 2024, which is why we're replacing him with his VP instead of the person who won in 2024. We did this to stop fentanyl, which is why he's indicted for cocaine.
We're also occupying Venezuela via Zoom call.

Trump is in direct contradiction with a peace plan with Ukraine. He should be removed now. You can't be in a war and be negotiating for peace at the same time.

As Trump gets more desperate, politically weakened and more exposed by the Epstein files, he will like other malignant narcissists just double down and get more extreme.
How long will Republican politicians keep enabling these dangerous actions?

Ok, so Canada can indict Trump for bribery, bomb Washington DC, and send the Mounties to round him up. It's that how this works?
This is effectively might makes right by Vance. The US does not have sovereign authority over foreign leaders.

Vance pushes back and says this was not illegal, arguing "Maduro has multiple indictments in the United States for narcoterrorism. You don't get to avoid justice for drug trafficking in the United States because you live in a palace in Caracas."

This is an AI-manipulated version of a real video of the US military operation in Venezuela.
While the real clip does appear to be genuine, this specific version has been manipulated using Grok to add dramatic explosions and strikes.

Trump is no doubt delighted that he can shaft a woman AND a Nobel Peace Prize winner at the same time.
Trump on María Corina Machado: "I think it'd be very tough for her to be the leader. She doesn't have the support or the respect within the country. She's a very nice woman but she doesn't have the respect."

The indictment against Maduro is about cocaine. If we had an honest White House Press Corps, every press interview Trump did would start with why he pardoned a narco terrorist president who imported 400 tons of cocaine into the United States.
