    To be fair, if she actually ‘signed off’ on this, there’s no way she could admit that and remain in power. No matter what, we shouldn’t trust anyone that Trump endorses (and certainly, who he puts in power), no matter how much they protest his influence.

      Though to be fair again, her being vice-president in the first place, it’s literally her job to replace the president if he is unable to do his job. So regardless of Trump’s wishes, she is expected to be the acting president.

        Yes, and if there had been significant military resistance I think people would not be side-eyeing her so hard. Given how quickly they located and secured Maduro, however, and the extreme lack of military response to the attacks, it’s seeming pretty likely that Trump made a deal with her (as he’s claiming) to get Maduro.
