    Maduro and Trump are friends

    Maduro gets to escape his country and save face instead of being assassinated or executed.

    Trump gets to manufacture a conflict so he can start martial law and become a dictator

      As I’ve already replied elsewhere where you(?)'ve also spammed this comment, Trump doesn’t have friends.

      Trump has parasites who take advantage of his stupidity, narcissism, and pettiness, and now also his dementia. And I suppose at some point, before he was so far gone, he might have had marks he was talking advantage of.

      He’s psychologically incapable of friendship; he’ll betray anyone without a second thought the instant they’re no longer of benefit to him, or someone convinces him to, which these days doesn’t take much effort.

      And he’ll die before (knowingly) helping anyone for free.

      If he can’t give Trump something shiny enough, Maduro is fucked, no matter how much of a friend he might believe him to be.

      I could see that, but let’s not attribute this to Trump. His dementia has him checked out most days. This is down to his handlers whispering in his ear.
