NYT--Trump's Venezuelan action threatens MAGA Rift.Even SteveBannon said--

Mr. Trump and members of his administration have offered differing explanations of what would happen in Venezuela now that the United States has captured its leader, Nicolás Maduro, and brought him back to New York to face criminal charges. After Mr. Trump said that Americans would “run” the country, Secretary of State Marco Rubio tiptoed back from that position on the Sunday morning news shows, and noted that American troops were no longer on the ground there.

“The lack of framing of the message on a potential occupation has the base bewildered, if not angry,” Stephen K. Bannon, the pro-Trump podcaster, said in an interview. “While President Trump makes the case for hemispheric defense, Rubio confuses with talk of removing Hamas and Hezbollah.”

On his podcast, “War Room,” Mr. Bannon and some of his guests praised the way the military operation had been executed. But he also asked pointed questions, including whether it was “harkening back to our fiasco in Iraq under Bush.”
