Donald Trump's allegedly ailing health has been the subject of media speculation for months, which analysts have said is interrupting the president's quest to be seen as an unflinching strongman. Salon writer Chauncey DeVega suggested in a recent column that Trump's invasion of Venezuela was a "prime opportunity" for the president to "get his swagger back." But the problem, he said, is that Trump can't hide his clear mental and physical decline.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, who has rebranded his position as Secretary of War, followed the U.S. military invasion of Venezuela with a revealing press strategy: he shut out the Pentagon press corps and instead traveled with a hand-picked group of right-wing influencers and loyalist outlets on what the Pentagon itself branded the Arsenal of Freedom Tour. The timing was striking.

As justifications for Donald Trump's invasion of Venezuela proliferate and change, a video of former Fox host Tucker Carlson in which he claims that the U.S. wants Venezuela to legalize marriage for same-sex couples has resurfaced.
