   Fuck Trump for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. No one, except   
   Cuba, Russia, and China, recognizes Maduro as head of state. Biden   
   twisted Maduro's arm till he called that election. Maduro then had Hugo   
   Chavez's leading opponenent Maria Corina Machado barred from running.   
   The unified opposition ran Edmundo Gonzalez, her ally, instead. Maduro   
   lost. The entire world said so.   
      
   Trump must not say that the U.S. will run the country given that we   
   aren't even occupying the place. He's got to recognize Gonzales and make   
   it safe for Machado to come out of hiding. Give them every bit of   
   support and help restore the economy.   
      
   No clue if grabbing Maduro violated international law, considering his   
   illegitimacy, but if we run the place and Gonzales does not, that's   
   clearly against international law.   
      
   Macron congratulated Trump! No other European leader did.
