Donald Trump Jr. on his podcast Triggered on Rumble.

Donald Trump Jr. confirmed on his show last Monday that his father, the President of the United States, gave Nicolás Maduro a very clear ultimatum to leave Venezuela with his family.

We have a real threat to our hemisphere right off our shores, and the Democrats are trying to sabotage our ability to deal with it. Maduro, the cartel leader, the boss, and the guy who got crushed in last year's election, right? Remember when he lost to Corina Machado? It didn't matter. You know, she was the main opposition candidate. They blocked her. Who cares? He stayed in power. Now, my father gave Maduro an ultimatum: Leave Venezuela now or something else will happen.' Maduro reportedly said he would leave, but only if he could continue to control the military while in exile, which isn't exactly how it's supposed to work, folks, Trump Jr. commented on his Triggered podcast, posted on the social media platform Rumble.

And look, the so-called"elites" have been telling us for decades that we have to support endless wars in the Middle East, and then there was, you know, Ukraine. But as soon as we start focusing on our own neighborhoods, the Democrats start barking about illegal orders. I just don't get it, and I get it as well as you do. Nobody wants to be in another endless war, not even in our own hemisphere. But stop the narco-terrorists? Stop the drug traffickers? Stop fentanyl, something that will save hundreds of thousands of Americans a year? Think about it. That has to stop now, argued the son of the US president.

And just to be perfectly clear, the Trump administration has designated the Cartel of the Suns as a foreign terrorist organization. Okay? It is a clear and present danger to the United States and, by the numbers, it is far more dangerous to Americans than anything else we have fought and funded in recent decades. This cartel turned Venezuela's state-owned oil company into a drug trafficking and money laundering operation. They use Venezuelan military aircraft to bring drugs from Colombia, process them in Venezuela, and ship them to Central America, and then on to the United States and Europe. And what are the Democrats doing? They are making videos urging our troops to disobey orders when it comes to pursuing narco-terrorists. That's why this sedition scandal is so dangerous—it's not just about politics; it's endangering the lives of Americans, declared Trump Jr.

Finally, he reminded everyone that the Venezuelan people already voted against Maduro in the elections, protested peacefully, and lobbied for international support, yet Maduro stole the election anyway and then brutally repressed his own people. So, the Democrats who are trying to undermine our armed forces at this critical moment should be ashamed of themselves. And remember, we are seeing this kind of subversion from the left on issue after issue. They are not only undermining the armed forces; they are undermining public safety in every major city.
