The scene unfolds with President Trump standing behind his Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, who was adding details to the presidential address formalizing the kidnapping of Nicolás Maduro. Rubio vehemently recalled that the Venezuelan president, considered illegitimate by half the world, had a $50 million bounty on his head.
“"Don't let anyone claim them; nobody deserves them, apart from us."
This statement woke Trump from his lethargy. He responded with a smile, asserting they must ensure no one else claimed the money. According to the column, this would be another reason why Trump allegedly removed the Venezuelan dictator from the presidential palace: to keep the reward.
The article notes that the $50 million legitimately belongs to the infiltrated mole who informed the US about Maduro's movements and the details of the presidential residence. This intelligence allowed the CIA to build a replica of the residence in Kentucky to rehearse the capture.
The columnist speculates on the possibility that if the informant attempts to collect, they might be told “Rome does not pay traitors” and eliminated, preventing a conspirator from acting against those who used him as a spy.
