Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro captured in raid by U.S. military. President Trump said Washington will "run" Venezuela until a transition.

Trump announced the capture, then immediately started auditioning for governor of Venezuela. That is classic showmanship: shock the room, then sell the sequel. If the U.S. truly wants a transition, it should stop talking like it bought the country at auction. Power is easiest to seize and hardest to return, and the world will keep the receipts.
