Trump is on the phone with state media (Fox News)

Typical bloviating and BS.

Apparently Vance tweeted that Trump offered “off ramps” to Maduro. Trump said the off ramps were that Maduro had to give up.

Will you let or push for Nobel Peace Prize winner Machado take over?
Trump: they gave a Vice President so we’ll see. Maduro’s election was a disgrace ….like our election in 2020.

Trump: Everything was pinpoint. They built a replica house to practice.

Trump: I’m proud to be an American
Fox News hostess: We are too.

Trump: Maduro will be heading to New York.
I think he said Maduro is in a ship. After the call one Fox host said Maduro is on the USS Iwo Jima.

“We had a dead country a year and a half ago….Biden…”

News conference at 11:00.

Then it was inappropriate. They should have asked for the 7 to 8,000,000,000 in judgments to be paid.

Do you now see which side you have embraced?

Jimmy Carter said Maduro won fair and square, so which side are you on?
