Once you read about Cabello, you'll see how trump won't be able to "run Venezuela" without him. Trump's military, and trump himself, would meet their match with this guy. Cabello makes trump look like some second tier hustler.
From wikipedia...
"...Information presented to the United States State Department by Stratfor claimed that Cabello was "head of one of the major centers of corruption in Venezuela."[44] A leaked U.S. Embassy cable from 2009 characterized Cabello as a "major pole" of corruption within the regime, describing him as "amassing great power and control over the regime’s apparatus as well as a private fortune, often through intimidation behind the scenes". The communiqué likewise created speculation that "Chavez himself might be concerned about Cabello's growing influence but unable to diminish it."[7]...
Cabello has been accused, by defector Leamsy Salazar, of being a leading figure in an international drug trafficking organization,[5][6] of using nepotism to reward friends and family members by the Atlantic[7] and of directing colectivos while paying them with funds from Petróleos de Venezuela by opposition media in Venezuela.[8] In 2013, there were at least 17 formal corruption allegations lodged against Cabello in Venezuela's prosecutors office.[9][45]
On 27 January 2015, reports accusing Cabello of drug trafficking emerged.[6][46][47] In a series of investigations by the United States government, it was stated that Cabello's alleged involvement in the drug trade as the "capo" [sic] (head) of the Cartel of the Suns (Spanish Cartel de los soles), had also involved high-ranking generals of Venezuelan military.[48][49][50]
On 26 March 2020, the U.S. Department of State offered $10 million for information leading to his arrest and/or conviction by the US in relation to drug trafficking and narco-terrorism.
... mid-July 2017, reporters in Washington, D.C. observed an increased security presence surrounding United States Senator Marco Rubio. On 13 August 2017, The Miami Herald reported that a US Department of Homeland Security memo alleged that Cabello may have initiated an assassination plot targeting Rubio, and may have contacted "unspecified Mexican nationals" to discuss killing Rubio. Cabello is a strong critic of Rubio, whom he dubbed "Narco Rubio". Rubio, who is a critic of the Venezuelan government, has led an effort in the United States government to take action against officials of the Latin American government, often singling out Cabello. The Department of Homeland Security could not verify the details involved in the threat, but took it seriously enough to contact multiple law enforcement agencies about the incident and Rubio's security detail had increased in size.
Cabello has been sanctioned by several countries and is banned from entering neighboring Colombia. The Colombian government maintains a list of people banned from entering Colombia or subject to expulsion; as of January 2019, the list had 200 people with a "close relationship and support for the Nicolás Maduro regime"...
Canada sanctioned 40 Venezuelan officials, including Cabello, in September 2017.[55][56] The sanctions were for behaviors that undermined democracy after at least 125 people were killed in the 2017 Venezuelan protests and "in response to the government of Venezuela's deepening descent into dictatorship".[55] Canadians were banned from transactions with the 40 individuals, whose Canadian assets were frozen...
The European Union sanctioned Cabello and six other Venezuela officials on 18 January 2018, singling them out as being responsible for deteriorating democracy in the country.[58] The sanctioned individuals were prohibited from entering the nations of the European Union, and their assets were frozen.[59] Cabello, known as number two in Chavismo, had not been sanctioned by the U.S. when the European Union sanctioned him...
18 May 2018, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the United States Department of the Treasury placed sanctions in effect against Cabello, his wife, his brother and his "testaferro" Rafael Sarria. OFAC stated that Cabello and others used their power within the Bolivarian government "to personally profit from extortion, money laundering, and embezzlement", with Cabello allegedly directing drug trafficking activities with Vice President of Venezuela, Tareck El Aissami while dividing profits with President Nicolás Maduro...reports estimate that approximately $800 million worth of assets were frozen by the United States government. Cabello denied the reports, stating that it would be foolish to have assets located in a place where they could be seized..."
