Only a few hours after the Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro was removed from his palace, his job and his country by US special forces, Donald Trump was still marvelling about how it felt to monitor a live feed of the raid from his Mar-a-Lago mansion.
He shared his feelings with Fox News.
"If you could see the speed, the violence, they call it that... It was amazing, amazing work by these people. No one else could do something like this."
The US president wants and needs quick victories. Before he took office for the second time, he boasted that ending the Russia-Ukraine war would be a single day's work.
Venezuela, as presented in Trump's statements, is the quick, decisive victory that he has craved.
