Incredibly, there are naive people who believe that Trump has "liberated" Venezuela. Trump is only interested in petrodollars. That is why he is currently interested in oil-producing countries such as Venezuela, Nigeria, and Iran. In this regard, Trump presents a series of criminal paradoxes:

- He attacks Venezuela to liberate a people from a dictator, while supporting the current president of Syria, a professional executioner.

- He bombs Nigeria because he is concerned about persecuted Christians, but does not intervene in Sudan, where Christianity suffers much more atrocious and systematic persecution.

- He is promoting a "spring" in Iran to overthrow a despotic Islamic regime, while rubbing shoulders with Saudi Arabia, a major patron of jihadist terrorism.

- He wants to curb alleged Russian expansionism, while announcing that Greenland should belong to the US for reasons of geostrategic security.

- He seeks to prevent Taiwan from being dominated by China, while threatening, in a coercive and bullying manner, to take the Panama Canal by force.

- Until recently, he was a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize, even though he has consistently favored the genocidal state of Israel in its efforts to turn Gaza into a wasteland.

In short, applauding Trump unthinkingly is equivalent to selling your soul to a greedy and unscrupulous devil.

However, I have recently learned that, in this delusional world, it is metaphysically impossible to convince a certain legion of dichotomous and Manichean sheep; it is not that they have renounced "critical thinking," but that they are simply incapable of it, given the voluntary "collapse" of their intelligence. For them, criticizing Trump is equivalent, for example, to being a communist or defending Maduro... Faced with such crude and obtuse ideas, I believe that the best response is disdain.
