Trump Plans Stanley Cup Victory Lap While Threatening Insurrection Act in Minnesota
KEY POINTS
- •On January 15, 2026, Trump met privately with Venezuelan opposition leader Mariá Corina Machado in Washington.
- •He threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act amid Minnesota protests as Governor Walz asked him to de-escalate tensions.
- •Later that day, Trump was scheduled to host the Florida Panthers, 2025 Stanley Cup champions, at the White House.
On January 15, 2026, Donald Trump dramatised his usual political theater from Washington, juggling a closed-door meet with Venezuela's opposition leader Mariá Corina Machado at exactly 12:3opm ET—a timestamp so typo-prone it screams 'fake news.' Meanwhile, he menaced Minnesota with the Insurrection Act amid protests, right as Governor Tim Walz begged him to 'turn the temperature down,' which seems wise since Trump plans a raucous White House bash with the 2025 Stanley Cup champs, the Florida Panthers. Nobel officials hilariously announced he’s still holding the peace prize medal but definitely not the prize itself, leaving his political résumé as inconsistent as his afternoon schedule.
