I am shocked, SHOCKED, that a MAGA billionaire will be the primary beneficiary of Crooked Donnie’s Venezuela incursion!

Venezuela raid enriches MAGA billionaire

The extraordinary attack, which legal experts said violated U.S. and international law, created a financial windfall for a prominent Trump-supporting billionaire, investor Paul Singer.

Two months ago he made a “well timed” investment. Two months.

In November 2025, Singer acquired Citgo, the U.S.-based subsidiary of Venezuela’s state-run oil company. Singer, through his private investment firm, Elliott Investment Management, bought Citgo for $5.9 billion. The sale to Amber Energy, a subsidiary of Elliott Investment Management, was forced by creditors of Venezuela after the country defaulted on its bond payments.

Citgo owns three major refineries on the Gulf Coast, 43 oil terminals, and a network of over 4,000 independently owned gas stations. By all accounts, Singer acquired these assets at a major discount. Advisors to the court that oversaw the sale valued Citgo at $13 billion, while Venezuelan officials said the assets were worth as much as $18 billion.

Singer acquired Citgo at a bargain price in large part due to the embargo, with limited exceptions, on Venezuela oil imports to the United States. Citgo’s refiners are purpose-built to process heavy-grade Venezuelan “sour” crude. As a result, Citgo was forced to source oil from more expensive sources in Canada and Colombia. (Oil produced in the United States is generally light-grade.) This made Citgo’s operations far less profitable.

What a coincidence that a guy who donated millions to Trump campaigns made a risky investment that paid off in just two months!

Delcy Rodriguez is the choice of the US oil industry. SHOCKING!

Venezuela’s New Leader Is the Oil Industry’s Long-Time Ally

As the US threatened Nicolás Maduro’s grip on power in recent months, a cadre of executives, lawyers and investors tied to the oil industry made their case to anyone who would listen — the Trump administration, congressional aides: His familiar No. 2 Delcy Rodríguez should fill his shoes in Venezuela.

Foreign intervention directed by the oil industry.

Reading about all the fallout today, you get the impression that Chevron, by far the largest US oil interest in Epstienezuela, was not too pleased to hear about this hostile takeover, they're talking nonstop privately and publicly with oil analysts about how this affects their short and intermediate term outlook. They're all over the map, which suggests they were blindsided over this attempt to divert public opinion away from the Epstein files.

As Chevron is obviously scrambling, it seems to bolster the opinion that this military operation was not done for "American oil interests" (with the notable exception of oil speculator Paul Singer) but to shore up Bonesaw's OPEC (which Epsteinezuela regularly undercut on the world oil market).

Crooked Donnie says Venezuela will ship 30 to 50 million barrels of oil (about one to two months of production) to the US to be sold to US oil companies, and he will determine how the proceeds are spent in Venezuela.

Also Crooked Donnie says Venezuela must exclusively work with US oil companies and favor the US for sales of crude.

What did Delcy say to that?

Jimmy Kimmel in his opening monologue about the Venezuela incident:

"Yes, he's a criminal and a dictator who's driven his country into financial ruin, while he and his family have lined their own pockets, but Maduro is no saint either."

Only particularly dimwitted MAGA sheep ever believed it was about drugs or tHe mOnRoE DocTRinE.

Trump puts oil at the center of Venezuela takeover

“We’re going to run everything,” he added when asked what will happen to the country’s oil reserves.

According to MS NOW’s Joe Scarborough, Trump has also said that the difference between the U.S.’s incursions in Venezuela and Iraq is that former President George W. Bush “didn’t keep the oil. We’re going to keep the oil.”
