Analyst says Trump all but admitted Venezuela raid was sparked by personal slight
President Donald Trump’s offhand reference to Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro “trying to imitate my dance” during a recent press moment has sparked fresh buzz, with one Democratic analyst calling it a “stunning confession” about Trump’s motivation for ordering last weekend’s dramatic raid and capture of Maduro. The comment appeared to echo New York Times reporting that Maduro’s public dancing—seen by some in Trump’s circle as mocking Washington—helped push the administration toward its unprecedented military operation to seize him. Trump’s bizarre framing has become a focal point in broader debates over the legality and geopolitical consequences of the U.S. action in Venezuela.
