Trump: Intellectual Author of Failed Regime Change Attempt in Venezuela

Trump washes his hands of anything to do with the recent disastrous military incursion in Venezuela. But the testimony of Luke Denman, one of the captured U.S. participants, stated in no uncertain terms that the mission was to take control of the airport, seize President Nicolás Maduro and fly him out of the country to hand him over the U.S. authorities. The goal was to collect the 15 million-dollar bounty that Trump placed on the Venezuelan president’s capture. This alone would indicate that Trump was one of the intellectual authors of the failed attempt. Trump’s “don’t blame me” response is not surprising as he always does the same when his words lead to murderous actions.
