Ana Navarro claims Trump’s ‘ego’ was the driving force behind Maduro’s arrest

“I think this has a lot to do with Donald Trump’s ego. I think he thought it would be easier to get rid of Maduro,” Navarro raged about the president’s motives.

Contrary to the views of some of her Democratic colleagues, the political strategist shared, “I don’t think this is regime change because the regime is still there. He has lost the head. He has gotten rid of the titular head, Maduro, and he is getting the biggest trophy there is,” Navarro said of Trump, noting that Maduro’s vice president, Delcy Rodríguez, is now Venezuela’s interim leader.

Navarro also sighed, “Donald Trump doesn’t care about drugs,” referring to how the president said the main reason for going after Maduro was because he was running a narco-state and pumping illegal drugs like fentanyl and cocaine into the US, resulting in the deaths of thousands of Americans.

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced on the day of Maduro’s arrest that he and his wife, Cilia Flores, had been indicted in the Southern District of New York and charged with narco-terrorism conspiracy, cocaine importation conspiracy and several machine gun-related charges. The dictator professed his innocence during an arraignment on Monday.
