From the BBC, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro distributes weapons to his militia, as fears grow of a U.S. intervention to stop Maduro's narco-terrorist empire. (The original headline reads: "The US navy killed 17 in deadly strikes. Now Venezuela is giving civilians guns"). Maduro has historically used his militias and related paramilitary groups to oppress his political opposition, including in the most recent national elections, including acts deemed to be crimes against humanity (see, e.g., here and here). But Trump Derangement Syndrome is so strong at the BBC that they have cast a brutal dictator as some sort of hero simply because he opposes Trump.
Anything but Trump.
