Trump said that Venezuela’s new leader, Delcy Rodríguez, would help the United States run Venezuela. She quickly said the opposite.
Trump said Delcy Rodríguez was sworn in as Venezuela’s interim president and would act as a partner in letting the United States run the country.
“She’s essentially willing to do what we think is necessary to make Venezuela great again,” he said.
Less than two hours later, Ms. Rodríguez — who was Nicolás Maduro’s vice president — delivered a televised address to Venezuela that made clear she viewed the United States as an illegal invader that must be rejected.


Voting isn’t the only say you have in your nation. I heard so much about how the second amendment is to prevent tyranny. Tyranny is here.
How do you imagine the second amendment being used going? Tell me specifically what you’re asking for because training and organizing takes time, so do plans against a military your country is deathly afraid of, but if what you want is random people shooting in the streets just say so, because that’s easy but leads to Trump declaring Martial Law. So I really want to know what exactly do you want to see?
What I really want to see is Americans forming resistance communities, educating themselves, organizing, and preparing for a revolution in the United States. As non-violent of a revolution as is possible. I want to see class consciousness, solidarity and compassion spreading and community building. I want to see worker and housing co-operatives starting up to build an alternative to the state and capitalism. I want to see those resistance communities work together to establish an alternative currency.
My second choice would be a civil war.
