This video explores the complex reality behind Operation Absolute Resolve, the January 3, 2026, military raid in Caracas that led to the capture of Nicolás Maduro. While President Donald Trump has publicly claimed his supporters are "thrilled" and "love" the bold move, new interviews and polling data from early January reveal a far more nuanced picture within the MAGA coalition.

As the administration prepares for a high-stakes 2026 midterm year, the "America First" movement is facing a reckoning over foreign intervention, potential "forever wars," and the President’s plan to have the U.S. "run" Venezuela.

Inside the "Voter Reckoning":
The "Thrilled" vs. The Conflicted: We contrast the President's House Republican retreat speech—where he touted the "brilliant" strike—with interviews from Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Mississippi where voters expressed faith in Trump but "not limitless faith."

"Not What I Voted For": Hear from veterans and young Trump supporters who worry the strike contradicts the President's "no new wars" campaign promise. One voter noted: "It's good they're freed, but I don't know what it's going to cost us."

The Oil Factor: A look at why some voters are "cautiously optimistic" about Trump's plan to bring in U.S. oil companies to fix Venezuela’s infrastructure, while others fear it’s a "resource grab" that could backfire on the global stage.

The "Dozy Don" Distraction: How critics are using these mixed reactions to pivot back to the "mental capacity" debate, while supporters argue the President’s "audacious" move proves he is as sharp as ever.

The "Donroe Doctrine": Why the new 2026 foreign policy shift is polarizing the GOP, with figures like Marjorie Taylor Greene reportedly turning critical while Marco Rubio works to frame the raid as a simple "law enforcement operation."

Whether this is a "brilliant" victory or a "dangerous precedent," the divide between the President's rhetoric and his voters' "mixed emotions" is becoming the defining story of the 2026 political landscape.
