BREAKING: In a move that has sent SHOCKWAVES through the global political establishment, former President Donald Trump is preparing to HOST Venezuelan opposition figure Maria Corina Machado in Washington. This isn’t just a meeting—it’s a RADICAL power play that could IGNITE a new Cold War in America’s backyard, coming just weeks after the U.S. military STORMED Caracas and CAPTURED socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro.
During a bombshell interview, Trump revealed the planned summit, signaling a DANGEROUS and BRASH return to the “maximum pressure” doctrine that critics warn could plunge the volatile region into chaos. “I look forward to saying hello to her,” Trump stated casually, a chilling understatement for a rendezvous that effectively anoints a U.S.-backed ruler for a sovereign nation.
The meeting exposes the RAW, UNFILTERED ambition of Trump’s shadow foreign policy. Just months ago, he publicly DISMISSED Machado, claiming she lacked the support to lead. But insiders reveal a VICIOUS betrayal at the heart of his reversal: Trump was reportedly FURIOUS that Machado accepted the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize—an honor he believes was STOLEN from him. Is this geopolitical strategy, or a petty act of VENGEANCE disguised as statecraft?

Now, with a handshake in Washington, Trump isn’t just endorsing a leader—he’s potentially CROWNING one, reshaping a nation’s destiny based on a personal grudge and unbridled ambition. This is REGIME CHANGE by invitation, a terrifying precedent where American foreign policy is dictated by the WHIMS and wounded pride of a single man. The world is watching, but the question isn’t about Venezuela’s future—it’s about who truly PULLS THE STRINGS in a world where medals matter more than democracy.
