A viral video generated by artificial intelligence (AI) portrays Donald Trump promising to make Venezuela great again, days after the United States abducted the country’s leader, Nicolás Maduro.
The video portrays Trump with dark hair and a bushy moustache, speaking in a mix of Spanish and English, calling himself the new president of Venezuela.
“We’re gonna make Venezuela grande again – mucho grande,” the AI-generated POTUS says.
Wearing Venezuela's flag, he promises to have “big beautiful siesta” all the time with snacks and drinks, while he will be the DJ.
The video shared by Trump’s parody account was viewed over 5.6 million times.
Trump announced capturing Maduro and his wife on Saturday. They were brought to the US, where they will appear in court on drug charges.
Maduro has led Venezuela since 2013. His rule was marked with human rights violations, such as arbitrary detention, unfair trials, and torture, according to Amnesty International.
More than 7.7 million Venezuelans have left the country since 2014 due to economic hardship and political instability, many of whom celebrated Maduro’s fall. However, the country’s future remains uncertain.
Trump has long accused the Maduro regime of organizing illegal cocaine flow to the US. However, such a justification isn’t convincing given that POTUS recently pardoned former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, who was charged with drug-related crimes.
Trump said the US would run Venezuela “until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition” and take control of the country’s oil industry.
An estimated 303 billion barrels of oil are believed to be untapped in Venezuela, accounting for approximately 17% of the world’s reserves.

Moreover, Trump rejected the Venezuelan opposition leader and Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado, claiming she doesn’t have the “respect” of the country.
Russia, Iran, China, and other Maduro’s allies condemned his abduction, citing a violation of international law.
US allies the United Kingdom and the European Union, employed a more conciliatory tone, stopping short of outright condemnation of Washington.
Meanwhile, critics fear that unprecedented intervention and the lack of strong reaction to it may embolden other major international players like China and Russia.
