Excuse Me?! Trump Admits He Told Oil Companies About Venezuela Attack *Before* Congress!
President Trump shockingly confessed to briefing oil companies on his Venezuela attack plans to abduct Maduro, bypassing Congress. What?!
More details:
WTF Just Happened
Okay, stop the presses! Did you just read that?! President Donald J. Trump, currently our U.S. President as of December 2025, just casually dropped a bombshell on Air Force One. He openly admitted to telling oil companies about his plan to attack Venezuela and snatch its leader, Nicolás Maduro. And get this: before he bothered to inform Congress. Are we living in a movie?!
He was talking to reporters, just chilling, saying he briefed these companies “before and after” the attack, describing them as crucial. WHY? Because apparently, they're "crucial" for "fixing the infrastructure" after Maduro’s capture. What in the actual hell?!
Wait, HOW Did This Happen?
So, the Trump administration’s excuse for this absolute madness? They're calling it a “law enforcement operation” to detain Maduro for “narco-terrorism” charges in New York. A law enforcement operation that apparently involved a "surprise bombardment" of a sovereign nation? Uh, what?
They’re claiming this doesn't need congressional approval because, you know, it’s just a little arrest. But Democrats are screaming that it's an illegal declaration of war. And Trump? He’s literally saying the U.S. is going to "run" Venezuela now and "be in charge." Oh, and seize their oil industry. WHAT?!
He even said, “We’re not going to invest anything. We’re going to just take care of the country.” So, a free takeover for "big oil companies"? This cannot be real.
Are We Serious Right Now?
Let's just process this:
- He informed oil companies about an international "attack" before his own country’s legislative body. Is that how foreign policy works now?
- A "surprise bombardment" and abduction of a head of state is somehow a "law enforcement operation"? Please explain.
- The White House pretends they don’t want regime change, but Trump is out here saying we're going to "run" Venezuela and its oil? That's not mixed messages; that’s a full-blown contradiction.
- Senator Chris Murphy basically said it’s all about making money for Trump’s friends in Wall Street and the oil industry. I mean, he said the quiet part out loud.
"Once again, you’re seeing that this president’s foreign policy, the invasion of Venezuela, the ouster of Maduro, is about making his crowd filthy rich. It has nothing to do with American national security." — Democratic Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy
Okay, but actually HOW can a president openly admit this and just... shrug?
💡 Why This Is a Big Deal (Unfortunately)
This isn't just a political oopsie; this is HUGE and utterly terrifying. First, it potentially means the U.S. launched an illegal war without Congressional approval, setting a truly wild precedent. Second, it screams that U.S. foreign policy could be explicitly dictated by corporate interests, specifically oil companies, rather than national security or genuine diplomacy.
Who's affected? Oh, just all of Venezuela, dealing with a "rusty, rotten" infrastructure that American companies are now supposedly "fixing" without U.S. investment. It basically screams "resource grab" to the world. What does this mean for international law? For other countries with resources the U.S. might want? The implications are chilling!
So… What Happens Now?
Maduro is apparently appearing in a New York courtroom facing drug and weapons charges. So, that's happening. Meanwhile, expect the debate over the legality of this operation to rage on in Congress and beyond. Oil companies are probably already packing their bags, ready to "invest money" (but not really) in Venezuela’s oil fields.
The world is watching, wondering if this is the new normal for international relations. Is this a one-off "law enforcement" escapade, or a blueprint for future resource-driven "interventions"? Honestly, I need a nap. This cannot be happening. Right?!
