pjmedia.com During Thursday’s cabinet meeting, Donald Trump mentioned that he’d spoken with his little Venezuelan pawn, “acting President” Delcy Rodríguez, and that the call had gone well. We later found out that they talked for a quite a while, at least half an hour, and that both Trump and Marco Rubio were on the phone.
The actions that have followed in the few days since sort of give you an idea of exactly how that phone call went down. I’m guessing Trump may have reminded her that there could easily be a “second wave.”
First of all, Ms. Delcy has dialed down her rhetoric. While she did issue a formal communiqué on Friday, condemning the United States for placing tariffs on anyone who gives Cuba oil — you can’t let the Chavista hardliners know you went full MAGA — she’s taken a break from her usual anti-U.S. speeches.
Even Diosdado Cabello, the second-most powerful man in the regime and the country’s “Minister of Interior, Justice and Peace,” which is a fancy way of saying the guy who handles the repression, torture, and paramilitary groups, is acting a bit more well-behaved in recent days. Then again, you probably would too if the U.S. had a $25 million bounty on your head.
This X post made me laugh. The caption reads “You put on the MAGA cap and yell: LONG LIVE TRUMP.” (That’s Cabello in the red tie — it’s even funnier if you know anything about this man.)
