            If Venezuela had an election, would any candidate but Trump’s favorit win? The same effort as in Argentina would be made to have a desired outcome.

              they had an election (in Venezuela )"already. I edited my prior remark with a link. don’t know about the elected President except he lives in Spain now.

              Milei in Argentina, was elected before Trump gave him money and even before Trumps administration.

              So if you are asking me, then No, what you are suggesting(#) never was the case afaik. But if you have different information then I’m curious what you have. Everything I know was that (unfortunately idiotic imo) the Argentina president was democratically elected, just like Trump was.
              In Venezuela there was an election but the diactorship of Maduro didn’t step down, and there were protests and civilians were killed, opposition jailed.

              Ed; the problem is foresee is that Milei who’s loosing popularity, and should maybe step down?, might be endorsed by the 40 B of Trump’s friend. The Argentina economy is doing very badly now and 40 B won’t help, some experts say.

                What do you mean? That it influences his decisions?

                  Yes that too. He’s like buying him. And also, I mean that It helps the current President to win more popularity with the people.

                    You asked for proof but I just have the feeling that the US do this all the time in South America, much like they do it in the EU.

                    How can a small country like Venezuela have an election where the US doesn’t try and succeed at letting the right-wing candidate win?
