Trump said that Venezuela’s new leader, Delcy Rodríguez, would help the United States run Venezuela. She quickly said the opposite.

Trump said Delcy Rodríguez was sworn in as Venezuela’s interim president and would act as a partner in letting the United States run the country.

“She’s essentially willing to do what we think is necessary to make Venezuela great again,” he said.

Less than two hours later, Ms. Rodríguez — who was Nicolás Maduro’s vice president — delivered a televised address to Venezuela that made clear she viewed the United States as an illegal invader that must be rejected.

As an American, I believe that we need to come together ASAP and form a police task force to remove the regime by legitimate, democratic means. It's called its shots: The regime has said that it intends to eliminate 100 million Americans.

By deportation for now. Let's not wait for its final solution.

    Afraid we're too far gone, Biden blew our last chance at holding these people accountable. At this point it's going to take internal economic collapse and likely external war to end this.

    Not being cynical! But that's my take from modern history.

    What? Could you link me the quote for that. 100 million? Surely this can't be a number they said.

    There is no way 1/3 of the population are there illegally (their justification for removing them), right?

    May the multiverse gods have mercy on our timeline...

    Here's a link to an article. As the reporter here points out, 100 million is suspiciously close to the number of nonwhite people in the U.S.
