Trump styles himself as 'Venezuela's acting president' in Truth Social post with Fake Wikipedia Page [View all]

Trump has repeatedly asserted that the United States will "run" Venezuela, despite its interim President Delcy Rodríguez insisting that no foreign power was governing her country.

US President Donald Trump has referred to himself as "acting president of Venezuela" in an image of a mock-up of a Wikipedia page on his Truth Social account on Monday morning.

The post, which has been liked more than 24,000 times, is the latest in a string of claims that Trump and Washington are in charge of the South American country following the 3 January capture of Nicolás Maduro.
