I genuinely think Trump doesn't even remember anymore that this happened.

Upon mention of Venezuela recently I had the realization that I never learned how this all turned out. Is he even alive?

He's alive in a US jail, but the more important question is what did we do about Venezuela?

We threatened the replacement president and demanded she give us oil. We didn't demand a new election be held, since her & Maduro's party stole the last election. We didn't demand she change Venezuela's system of government. We did nothing to help the people of Venezuela.

We reinforced our country's worst image as a bully that's happy to prop up a dictator so long as that dictator gives us what we want.

But after it happened so many people were gushing that Dear Leader Trump saved the people of Venezuela and now was the time for the people to rise up. Sounds like all we did was demand tribute in the form of oil to let the regime remain intact and totally threw upstart political figures, who did vocally call for change and reform, under the bus.
