There's blue maga people, or at least person, who keeps saying Maduro was just extracted by Trump because they are friends... While completing ignoring the death and destruction if it let's them get one on trump
It's possible he's just making a deal with Maduro, who he'll send back to Venezuela as his pawn. I guess we'll see.
Maduro is a former bus driver, union organizer, and firm supporter of the Bolivarian revolution. It's very unlikely that he'd be made a comprador, and even less likely that the supporters of the Bolivarian revolution would let it slide.
iirc Maduro was already in negotiations to surrender himself to Trump as a part of some deal that would lift the sanctions. But the negotiations took too long for Trump.
