Two Latin Women Battle for Affection of Older, Wealthy, Emotionally Unavailable American Man
Venezuelan Telenovela Engulfs Caracas and Washington
Both Capitals — In what analysts are calling “the Putin strategy,” Venezuelan interim president Delcy Rodriguez phoned Donald Trump a day before her rival, opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, met with US President Donald Trump in Washington.
The two women have sought to woo Trump with their assets as he weighs next steps in Venezuela.
Describing his “partnership” with Delcy as “spectacular,” Trump told reporters Wednesday that she “is a terrific person” and, “after I snuck into the presidential palace and removed my main rival, is letting me keep the oil. Very romantic.”
Not to be outdone, Machado deployed “the Infantino strategy” Thursday, presenting Trump with her Nobel Peace Prize.
“She is a wonderful woman ♥️,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
Reporters later overheard Trump muttering:
“Machado still doesn’t have the respect. But now I have a Nobel! Delcy doesn’t have a Nobel. But she has the oil! And is coy about offshore rights…. I wish Jeffrey were here. He’d know what to do. Putin and Zelenskyy make it so much easier…”
“I know!” Trump exclaimed. “Whoever delivers Greenland gets Venezuela! — and my heart! Maybe next time they can both visit Mar-a-Lago at the same time…Like a summit!”
