We're TAKING 90 BILLION Barrels of Venezuelan Oil — and the Fake 'Constitutional' Critics Are TOTALLY WRONG!

NOBODY knows deals like I do. NOBODY. I just made the BIGGEST energy deal in the HISTORY of our Country — 90 BILLION barrels of BEAUTIFUL Venezuelan oil, ALL OURS, taken right out from under the noses of the Fake News losers and the Radical Left politicians who spent DECADES letting Maduro STEAL it. The Crooked Harvard guy — Hausmann, total low-IQ, knows NOTHING about energy, a TOTAL disaster of a “critic” — he says my deal is “unconstitutional.” UNCONSTITUTIONAL! The guy worked for a government that doesn’t exist anymore! His own country kicked HIM out! And he’s lecturing ME? On X! On TWITTER! I have the BIGGEST following in the world, probably ever, and THIS guy is going to tell me about constitutionality? PLEASE. Read the Constitution, Ricardo. Read it! It says TRUMP WINS. That’s what it says. Beautiful deal, the BEST deal, tremendous for America, and the stupid people are saying it’s unconstitutional because that’s what stupid people SAY.

So here’s what happened — and I’m telling YOU first, the BEST people, the people who actually WIN — my Administration is in advanced talks to take a DIRECT STAKE in SEVENTEEN of Venezuela’s greatest oil and gas fields. SEVENTEEN! Not five, not ten — SEVENTEEN. 90 BILLION barrels of proven reserves under those fields. NINETY BILLION. That’s almost TWICE what the entire United States of America has, and we have a LOT. We have TREMENDOUS reserves. The BEST reserves. But now we have Venezuelan reserves too, and the smart people — the VERY smart people, the BEST people, my uncle who was a great professor at MIT, tremendous genes — they’re saying this is the biggest energy win in the HISTORY of the United States, bigger than anything Lincoln did, bigger than anything Washington did, and believe me, I know more about Lincoln and Washington than ANYBODY alive, and I am telling you, they would be VERY proud of me, tremendous respect, they would CRY.

Hausmann — the low-IQ Harvard guy, very low IQ, I’m being told by people who KNOW — he posted on X that the deal is “unconstitutional.” He says the interim president, Delcy Rodríguez, who I INSTALLED, by the way — well, I didn’t install her, that just happened, very naturally, the way these things happen, I had NOTHING to do with it, I never met her, beautiful woman, tremendous — he says she has no LEGITIMACY to sign. No legitimacy! Because she was APPOINTED, see? And the opposition won’t recognize her. But the opposition is a bunch of LOW-ENERGY losers who lost their Country, and now they want to tell ME how to run it? NOBODY knows Venezuela like I do. I know more about Venezuela than ANYBODY. I have the BEST Venezuelan facts, the most tremendous facts, in my head, right here, TREMENDOUS brain, very stable genius, person woman man camera TV, the doctors said no one, no one in history.

The so-called “interim” President Rodríguez — and she IS the President, the ONLY President, believe me — she’s been very cooperative, very SMART, very STRONG, totally loyal to me, because I made her what she is, which is the President. The BIG tough oil executives from the major companies — and these are TOUGH guys, the toughest, the strongest, much stronger than low-IQ Ricardo Hausmann, who has never run anything in his life except his mouth — they came to me, they came to MAR-A-LAGO, actually, and they were CRYING. Crying! Big tough oil men, tears coming down their faces, and they said “Sir, SIR, please, please take the oil fields, we can’t do it alone, we need YOU, only YOU can do this, Sir.” It was very moving, very beautiful. I said “Gentlemen, the art of the deal is about to happen. Stand back.” And they said “Yes Sir, YES SIR.” Beautiful. The BEST meeting. People are saying it was the greatest meeting ever held at Mar-a-Lago, and we have a LOT of great meetings.

Now the Fake News is going to say “Diklis Chump overthrew Maduro in January.” Wrong! TOTALLY wrong. I didn’t overthrow anybody. Maduro LEFT. He just LEFT. Walked right out of the palace, very sad, very weak, low-energy loser, and my people — and I’m NOT taking credit for this, the credit goes to the BRAVE Venezuelan people who love me, all of them, every single one, they did this, not me, I had nothing to do with it, but my Administration oversaw aspects of the transition, which is a fancy word for WINNING. Tremendous WINNING.

And the energy-security angle? TREMENDOUS. The Iran war has restricted the Strait of Hormuz — which I built, by the way, or maybe I didn’t build it, but I know more about it than any of the admirals, the GENERALS were CRYING when I told them about Hormuz, they said “Sir, how do you KNOW this stuff?” — so the answer, the OBVIOUS answer, the answer that only the SMARTEST people can see, is to put the U.S. Government into the oil business in South America. Beautiful! That’s 4D chess, folks. That’s the HIGHEST level chess. While everybody else is playing checkers — TREMENDOUS checkers, beautiful checkers — I’m over here on the FOURTH DIMENSION of chess, taking 90 BILLION barrels from a government nobody else can even TALK to. Very few people could have done this, believe me. Very few.

Major U.S. oil companies haven’t invested since January — and by the way, that has NOTHING to do with me, the political risk is THEIR problem, not mine, I take NO responsibility — but this deal, this TREMENDOUS beautiful deal, it’s going to fix that. The way it works is: the U.S. Government goes in FIRST. We take the RISK. We put American taxpayers on the hook for billions. And if it works — and it WILL work, because I always said it would work, I predicted this in 2017, I said “someday we’ll own the Venezuelan oil” and EVERYBODY said I was crazy, and now look, LOOK — the private companies come in BEHIND us. They get the upside. They make BILLIONS. And the taxpayers? We made America GREAT again! Big win, HUGE win, the biggest win in the history of energy, believe me. The smart analysts — the very smart analysts, people who actually know, NOT the low-IQ Harvard guys who said it would take a decade and $100 billion — those people are WRONG, they’re FAKE, totally discredited, and my deal will prove it tomorrow.

And this deal is going to be tremendous, going to make me — I mean US — make US all very rich, especially me, just for the American workers, the BEST workers, but mostly me. The workers are going to be SO happy, the most happy they’ve ever been, because their President just grabbed 90 BILLION barrels of foreign oil, and the Fake News will say “what about the Venezuelans” and I’ll say “what ABOUT them, they should be THANKING me, I gave them a Country, they had NOTHING before me, I gave them EVERYTHING.”

Hausmann called it “a fiasco for all involved, starting with Secretary Rubio.” A FIASCO! Sir, this is the GREATEST fiasco in the HISTORY of fiascos. Big beautiful fiasco. Tremendous. And Rubio? Marco is a TREMENDOUS Secretary of State, the BEST Secretary, very tough, very smart, totally loyal, and if this deal is a fiasco then we are having the BEST fiascos in the history of the United States. Believe me. People are saying it. The SMART people. The best people.

90 BILLION barrels. ALL OURS. The biggest deal. The BEST deal. The ART of the deal. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Make America Great Again!
