"President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced that he is recognizing Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido as the legitimate president of Venezuela.

"In its role as the only legitimate branch of government duly elected by the Venezuelan people, the National Assembly invoked the country's constitution to declare Nicolas Maduro illegitimate, and the office of the presidency therefore vacant."

So, how does that give Maduro carte-blanche?

Geez, Trump hates Maduro because he's an authoritarian dictator? Trump loves dictators.
