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.


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.
