Trump’s favored leader exposed as a ‘rabid Chavista’

Every morning in London, Delcy Rodriguez (pictured) - Nicolás Maduro's vice president - would pick up her tube of toothpaste and berate it as a 'capitalist product.' The ritual, recalled by former US diplomat Brett Bruen, captures the hardline ideology of the woman President Donald Trump has effectively left overseeing Venezuela's transition in the aftermath of the ouster of Maduro. Bruen, who served at the US Embassy in Caracas, calls Rodríguez a 'rabid Chavista' and a 'tried and true socialist,' and warns that the administration's approach is turning a military victory into a political farce. 'From a strategic standpoint, that's astonishingly stupid, even for him,' Bruen said of Trump's vow that the United States will 'run Venezuela.' But the toothpaste anecdote is only the surface of a deeper rift.

Pam Bondi forced to admit Trump’s Maduro claim is a complete fiction

Justice Department prosecutors under Pam Bondi were forced to admit that the central claim Trump used to lay the groundwork for ousting Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro was a fiction. The president for months has promoted the claim that Maduro was the leader of a drug cartel called Cartel de los Soles.Now DOJ prosecutors say the organization doesn't exist. Prosecutors still accused Maduro in a New York courtroom on Monday of participating in a drug trafficking conspiracy but they distanced themselves from the claim that Cartel de los Soles was an actual cartel.

Trump: ‘My wife hates when I do this’

Donald Trump revealed to a group of Republican lawmakers what his wife hates most about his speeches – and it's not what comes out of his mouth. First Lady Melania Trump pleaded that the president stop imitating weight-lifting during his bit on transgender athletes because 'it's not presidential.' She also thinks he shouldn't dance on stage in what has become a popular spectacle, Trump said at the GOP retreat at the Trump-Kennedy Center in Washington, DCon Tuesday. Trump told Melania that his fans 'really like' his dancing, which is usually performed at the conclusion of his remarks to the hit Village People song Y.M.C.A., but that she replied: 'They don't like it, they're just being nice to you.'

Pete Hegseth pushes to strip Democrat of military rank and pension

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has moved to strip a Democratic senator's military rank and pay after he released a video calling on troops to disobey orders. 'Six weeks ago, Senator Mark Kelly (pictured) — and five other members of Congress— released a reckless and seditious video that was clearly intended to undermine good order and military discipline,' the secretary wrote in a statement. 'Therefore, in response to Senator Mark Kelly’s seditious statements — and his pattern of reckless misconduct — the Department of War is taking administrative action.'

Report: Trump sours on Venezuela opposition leader over Nobel Peace Prize

President Donald Trump is noticeably distancing himself from Venezuela's opposition leader María Corina Machado, with White House insiders revealing his displeasure stems from her acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize—an honor Trump has long coveted for himself. 'If she had turned it down and said, 'I can't accept it because it's Donald Trump's,' she'd be the president of Venezuela today,' a person familiar with Trump's thinking told the Washington Post. 'Her acceptance of the prize was an 'ultimate sin.' While Machado later dedicated the award to Trump, one person said the damage was already done.
