https://apnews.com/live/trump-us-venezuela-updates-01-03-2026Trump dismisses criticism he did not seek congressional permission for Venezuela strike
By MICHELLE PRICE
Trump brushed off criticism from U.S. Democratic lawmakers that he did not seek permission from Congress ahead of time and that the strike was illegal. He called his Democratic critics weak, stupid people and blaming his political opponents for inflation in the U.S.
He said the operation in Venezuela was really genius.
All they do is complain, he said of the Democrats.
They should say, Great job. They shouldnt say, Oh Gee, maybe its not constitutional. You know, the same old stuff that weve been hearing for years and years and years, Trump said.

... the Constitution and the rule of law are intended to control those they don't like, and not intended to hamper their own crimes and misdeeds.
