Trump's paradox in Venezuela: he ousted Maduro but kept the regime

Donald Trump had just removed Nicolás Maduro from power when he did something even less predictable than that: promptly sidelining María Corina Machado from the transition. Just a few hours after the arrest, on January 3, he appeared at his Mar-a-Lago mansion and, effectively, sidelined her from the transition: "I think it would be very difficult for her to be the leader. She does not have the support or respect inside the country. She is a very agreeable woman, but she does not have that respect." The remark confused especially a Venezuelan opposition that was then in a state of euphoria over the dictator's capture. Machado had been for years their most recognizable figure, had important allies in Washington, and her party, arbitrarily barred, had won the most recent elections. But Trump had just made clear that toppling Maduro did not mean handing power immediately to the person who had led the fight against him. It was the first sign that the transition Washington was preparing would not immediately place power in the hands of that leader.
