Trump Posts Photo of Himself as President of Venezuela

Donald Trump posted a photo on Truth Social depicting himself as the “incumbent president of Venezuela” from January 2026, alongside his role as President of the United States. The post comes after his statements that the US would “govern” Venezuela temporarily and “regulate the flow of oil,” as well as the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Trump claims that Venezuela is “rich and safe again” and seeks to attract American oil companies to invest in reviving the country’s energy sector, but faces skepticism. The Venezuelan government’s stance towards the US remains contradictory.
