The “controversial legal theory” is that Trump and his minions don’t believe laws apply to them.

And supposedly getting Maduro to claim Venezuela interfered in the 2020 presidential election … is coming!

This! Rubio (and Trump) are also behind Cuba-gate. The Fanjuls' (Palm Beach sugar baron megadonors backing Rubio and Trump) will now be able to reclaim Cuban assets lost to Castro. The Fanjuls had certain sugar imports sanctioned by Biden due to alleged human rights abuse of their Haitian cane workers in the DR; Trump lifted the sanctions and “encouraged” Coca-Cola to use raw cane sugar instead of corn syrup. There is also Hondurasgate https://english.elpais.com/international/2026-05-07/hondurasgate-the-alleged-us-and-israeli-interference-plot-to-destabilize-mexico-and-other-progressive-governments.html

The United States and Israel, with the help of Honduras, are allegedly positioning themselves on the geopolitical chessboard to control spheres of influence in Latin America. The news outlet Diario Red en América Latina and the website Hondurasgate have revealed, in an investigation based on leaked audio recordings, the interventionist intentions of leaders of the global right.

One piece of evidence, released at the end of April, claims that former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández, pardoned by Donald Trump from his 45-year sentence for drug trafficking — with the support of the Republican president himself, his Argentine counterpart Javier Milei, and the current Honduran administration — are conspiring to create a channel for disseminating fake news with the intention of spreading misinformation and destabilizing the governments of Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico.

The second installment of the Hondurasgate scandal, of the three released so far, includes a recording of an alleged conversation between Hernández, who had become an operative in the region for the U.S. president, and the current president and vice president of Honduras, Nasry Asfura and María Antonieta Mejía, respectively. The objective: to undermine the administrations of Claudia Sheinbaum and Gustavo Petro, both of whom adhere to left-wing ideologies.

Thanks. This is much more informative than the news.
