President Donald Trump trolled the left over Venezuela with a Truth Social post Sunday night.
Leftists upset over the action that resulted in the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro were triggered over the weekend when Trump posted an edited photo that titled him the “Acting President of Venezuela.” The image was made to look like a Wikipedia page, with the title resting just under Trump’s portrait.

It didn’t take long for people to get upset about the image. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minnesota, complained that Trump is “not even acting like a president at home.”

Others reacted in a similar manner:
We need Nuremberg style trials for Trump and his cronies. Not “truth and reconciliation” as I will not reconcile with any of them.

“acting” president is definitely true, just not for Venezuela

This isn’t normal?! I don’t care what mental gymnastics folks have done to try and make this “normal” but it’s not… if Obama or Biden did any of this people would be screaming from the roof tops… as they should have.

Can someone in Trump’s inner circle maybe Melania, Ivanka, or hell, even Barron finally grow a spine and yank that damn phone out of his tiny hands? The man’s out here playing pretend president of Venezuela.
