Rubio Comments On Biden’s Muduro Policy

It’s amazing how quickly a “foreign policy expert” like Joe Biden can go from keyboard warrior to international punchline.

Flashback to Biden in 2020, clapping back at then-President Trump for even considering a meeting with Nicolás Maduro. You remember the tweet — the one where Biden puffed out his digital chest and declared, “Trump talks tough on Venezuela, but admires thugs and dictators like Nicolás Maduro. As President, I will stand with the Venezuelan people and for democracy.”

Well, here we are in 2025, and let’s just say that tweet… aged like a banana in the sun.

Because while Biden spent four years “standing with the Venezuelan people” by, what, tweeting furiously and bumping up Maduro’s bounty to $25 million, President Donald J. Trump actually did something. He sent Delta Force. He took the gloves off. He greenlit an operation that snatched the Venezuelan dictator and his wife right out of Caracas and delivered them straight to a holding cell in Manhattan. No metaphor. No diplomatic nuance. Just actual action. And yes, Maduro looked every bit like the disgraced strongman he is — gray sweatsuit, eye mask, headphones, clutching a bottle of water like it might save him from a federal indictment. Spoiler: it won’t.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio wasted no time setting the record straight. “So, we have a reward for his capture, but we’re not going to enforce it?” he asked on NBC’s Meet the Press. “That’s the difference between President Trump and everybody else… President Trump did something about it.”

Exactly. The Biden administration raised the reward, but Trump raised the stakes.

Under Biden, Maduro was free to continue ruling by fear, allegedly trafficking cocaine with cartels, and propping up one of the most corrupt regimes in the Western Hemisphere. Under Trump, he’s awaiting trial in New York, facing alleged charges of narco-terrorism, cocaine importation conspiracy, and weapons trafficking. You know — minor things, really, if you’re in the Biden State Department.

The reaction online was swift. Biden’s old tweet got dragged harder than a CNN town hall. “This did not age well,” one user quipped. Others took aim at Biden himself — “Nothing about Biden aged well,” someone added. Ouch. Another simply replied with the universal sign of digital embarrassment: “Oof.”
