"On Saturday, Donald Trump fancied himself at his most Churchillian as he hailed the derring-do of US military heroes who toppled Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro in an audacious overnight operation. But far from the gravitas of London's cabinet war rooms or the White House's situation room, Trump was luxuriating at his winter retreat, the gilded Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida, where he whiles away the days playing golf and the evenings playing DJ."
"Wearing a dark suit, white shirt and blue tie, the president claimed Maduro had sent savage and murderous gangs into the US which, with a weave of the Trump brain, led to a digression on crime in Washington DC, then the role of the national guard, and then how the national guard is doing great work in Memphis and New Orleans."
Donald Trump celebrated an overnight operation that toppled Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro while speaking from Mar-a-Lago. He praised US military personnel and outlined vague plans for American involvement in Venezuela. He repeatedly diverted to personal grievances about legal treatment, complaints about officials, and a perceived lack of credit. He linked Maduro to violent gangs and shifted to anecdotes about crime in Washington DC, Chicago, Memphis, New Orleans, and Los Angeles. He criticized governors and mayors, framed state National Guard deployments positively, and mixed policy remarks with score-settling and partisan attacks while Secretary of State Marco Rubio remained expressionless.
