Venezuela has been imploding for years now, long before Trump even thought of running for President.  The people have no food, there are no medical supplies, all this because communism doesn't work!  Look at Cuba, look at the USSR, look at China (who also abandoned pure communism, and now has all the evil of communist corrupt leaders exploiting the masses combined with some facets of capitalism). Anyway, Venezuela has been on its last legs for many years now.  Its been fine for the wealthy leadership, but the people have been suffering horribly for years and years.  But rather than admit failure, they just let the people continue to starve.  Such a terrible thing to have happen to a country that was once bountiful with natural resources on every front and very prosperous.....then the stupid idea of "free stuff" for everyone got a hold, and the people voted in communism, only to their own ruination. "A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.  .  From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse doe to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.” So while the country is on its last legs, and the cruel dictatorship refuses to give up the reigns of power (including totally rigged elections to stay in power) or even do what is right for their people, Trump is helping "the people" by recognizing a new leader who has risen up  that really wants to help the ridicules situation that Venezuela has found itself, and give communism a decent burial, and get their country back onto its feet again.
