"Trump Takes Venezuela by Storm – And So Do the Late-Night Critics"
In a move that has left the world reeling, Donald Trump's surprise military intervention in Venezuela has sparked widespread outrage and ridicule from late-night talk show hosts. The attack on Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has been condemned as a "crime of aggression" by over a dozen countries, including the United States.
Jon Stewart, a veteran commentator known for his sharp wit and biting satire, wasted no time in tearing into Trump's decision. "This is all exhausting," he said with characteristic candor. "Look, no one knows how this operation is going to work out, but based on the US track record, my guess is we're going to be happy about this for a couple of weeks... and then 30 years from now, there will be a Venezuelan leftist revolution, and the new government will point to this moment as the reason our embassy is on fire."
Stewart's take on Trump's motivations was equally scathing. "We need total access," the president had said, revealing his true intentions behind the attack. "We need to take out a tremendous amount of wealth out of the ground." Stewart mocked Trump's candor, saying that if he were running for re-election, his campaign slogan would be: "I'm not going to invade Venezuela... until I can get my hands on their oil."
But Stewart was just getting started. He noted that this brazen move sets a disturbing precedent for future US administrations. "If we need it and it's not too far away, we are going to take it." The implications were clear: if the US is willing to intervene in Venezuela's internal affairs, what's next? The late-night host left no stone unturned as he skewered Trump's decision.
Jimmy Kimmel, another sharp-witted commentator, took a different approach. He focused on the sheer absurdity of Trump's actions, including his claim that he would "run" Venezuela like it was a business venture. "He can't even run JCPenney," Kimmel joked, "so how does he plan to take over an entire country?"
Stephen Colbert, meanwhile, took a more tongue-in-cheek approach. He mused that if Maduro's public dancing had prompted Trump to invade, perhaps the next step would be to send the US ambassador to Netflix to negotiate a deal for the streaming giant. The late-night host also mocked the Republicans who tried to spin the attack as a crusade against drug trafficking.
Finally, Seth Meyers ended the segment with his characteristic humor and sarcasm. He noted that Trump's actions were so transparent that even the most ardent apologists couldn't deny them. "I still can't actually believe anyone thought Trump was telling the truth about being anti-war," he joked. The late-night host left no doubt: if you give Donald Trump control of the US military, there will be fighting, crying, and bad dancing.
As the world watches with bated breath, one thing is clear: the late-night critics are not going to let Trump's antics go unchallenged. They'll keep pushing back, keeping us informed, and keeping it real – no matter how exhausting the truth may be.

This guy Trump is getting roasted by everyone! I mean, can't even invade a country without people calling him out on it 
. And those late-night hosts are straight fire with their jokes 
. Jon Stewart's been saying some serious things about how this is setting a bad precedent for future US presidents 
. Like, if they think they can just waltz in and take over another country, that's not cool at all 
. And can we talk about Trump's "business" plan for Venezuela? 
It's like he thinks it's some kind of game show where the first one to say "I'm gonna make a profit" wins 
. Newsflash, Donald: this isn't a game 
.
but seriously though, folks are not happy about this invasion and these comedians are just calling it out for what it is - a bunch of bs 
i feel for venezuela right now, they're in such a tough spot with all this drama going on in the world 
he thinks he can just swoop in and save the day, but really he's just making a huge mess. newsflash: venezuela isn't your personal business deal 
i mean, can you imagine the next campaign slogan being "i'm not going to invade venezuela... until i can get my hands on their oil" 
and honestly, jimmy kimmel's joke about jcpenney is everything 
let's just say if trump thinks he can run venezuela like a business, he's got another thing coming 
And then to make matters worse, the grown-ups on TV are roasting Trump for it 
. But hey, at least we have late-night hosts like Jon Stewart and Jimmy Kimmel keeping us in stitches 
. I mean, who just invades another country without even trying diplomacy? It's like he's trying to make history for all the wrong reasons 
. Like Trump has been waiting for the perfect moment to pull off something crazy and then blame everyone else for it 
.
either. We should be worried about how this sets a precedent for future US interventions 
. What's next? Sending troops to Colombia or Ecuador just because they're oil-rich? No thanks 
.
meanwhile, seth Meyers just roasted trump so hard i'm surprised his face isn't on fire
