Trump Captures Venezuela’s Maduro, Sends Investors and Memes to Caracas
KEY POINTS
- •On January 3rd, the US conducted a raid in Venezuela that resulted in the capture of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife.
- •Chairman Charles Myers of Signum Global Advisors plans to bring 15-20 investors to Venezuela in March for economic opportunities.
- •Reactions ranged from Elon Musk’s praise for freedom to Elizabeth Warren calling the raid unconstitutional and risky.
On January 3rd, President Donald Trump's special ops pulled a real-life 'Spy vs Spy' routine by raiding Venezuela and capturing Nicolás Maduro and his wife aboard the USS Iwo Jima—because where else to detain a big dictator? Signum Global Advisors’ Charles Myers is prepping a 15-20 investor tour in March, presumably to swap beach pics for oil deals. Eurasia Group's Ian Bremmer shared a refined horse sketch highlighting the raid’s tactical precision contrasted with crude post-coup plans, while hedge titan Bill Ackman predicted cheaper oil would send Putin napping 'in his safe room.' Meanwhile, Elon Musk and Senator Elizabeth Warren clashed online: Musk hailed it as freedom's dawn, Warren called it 'unconstitutional adventurism,' proving political Twitter is still the best battlefield. China? Unbothered, since Taiwan issues are 'internal affairs,' not Venezuelan escapades. The world watches as Maduro moves from Caracas to US waters, proving global diplomacy never lacked drama or irony.

Nothing screams subtle foreign policy like a presidential capture, horse-themed strategy drawings, and Elon Musk cheering on military missions.
