11. Even Maduro was taken by surprise

Why do you think that happened?

There have been numerous attacks on his life both from the US and by Machado's political party. It's why the Venezuelan Supreme Court ruled she couldn't run as a candidate for president because of her participation in an attempted assassination and death of protesters in riots she instigated, much like pedo Trump on Jan 6. Maduro was cautious. He knew he was a target. Yet he was taken.

So even the major victims of pedo Trump's crazy behavior did Not see this coming.

I don't totally disagree with your comments. I try to keep an open mind. But pedo Trump's behavior has become unpredictable, abandoning all restraint. We should all expect the worse.
