American President Donald Trump is raising plenty of eyebrows across the board after he shared an image of himself as the acting president of Venezuela across his Truth Social account.
The news comes just days after an American military operation was conducted to capture the country's president and first lady, local media outlets shared.
Trump posted a shocking picture of himself as the acting leader of the South American country as of January 2026, leaving many people outraged and confused. Some called it a simple means of declaring his intentions that were shady from the start.
Trump shared how Maduro would face criminal charges linked to drug and weapons in New York, adding how his administration would be running Venezuela and its oil assets during the transition period.
After the capture, Venezuela's vice president, Delcy Rodríguez, was sworn in as the country's interim president.
They continue to engage with the Trump administration throughout this period of time.
