Rachel Maddow calls out the real reason Trump invaded Venezuela - Rachel Maddow - MS NOW [View all]
Rachel Maddow runs through the litany of excuses and justifications the Trump administration has presented to explain the military invasion of Venezuela, and points out that none of what has been floated holds up under scrutiny.
Every principle the Trump administration claims to be defending comes with examples of the administration not caring at all about that principle.

But there is one reason that is consistent with Trump's behavior through the first year of his second term in office. - Aired on 01/05/2026.
