Trump Made Huge Diplomatic Move Because His Feelings Got Hurt

White House insiders say President Donald Trump chose not to install a nominal ally as leader of Venezuela following his lightning invasion this weekend because she bruised his ego.

Many expected that after the MAGA administration’s shocking capture of Nicolas Maduro in the early hours of Saturday, Trump might have sought to appoint opposition figurehead María Corina Machado as the oil-rich nation’s new head of state.

Two people “close to the White House” told The Washington Post on Monday the president declined to do so because Machado had committed the “ultimate sin” of offending his pride.

They cited the opposition leader’s decision in November to accept the Nobel Peace Prize rather than turning it down to protest the committee’s decision not to give it to Trump.
