The Trump administration has been trying for months to remove Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro from power. So far, they’ve failed miserably.

In January, Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó declared himself the country’s rightful president. He argued that Maduro, who has been in power for six years, rigged the election last May that kept him in charge — and that as a result, Guaidó, as the head of the National Assembly, is now the rightful interim president of the country according to the Venezuelan constitution.

The United States immediately backed his claim, and has been working ever since to help him push Maduro out once and for all. They’ve sanctioned politicians and businesses, sent much-needed food and medical aid, and helped sustain a global campaign to back Guaidó and boost his popularity...............................

Who has over 10,000 times lied to the American people in a very short time, and why would anyone believe anything this crook says when he's shown himself to be so corrupt? He's intentionally spreading propaganda for putin.

A big, big difference. Also, you're not getting along with 'everyone'. You're doing a terrible job getting along with all the countries we used to get along with very easily.
