President Donald Trump displayed a lapel pin featuring his own likeness during a meeting with administration officials and oil executives. The pin, identified as a "Happy Trump" by Trump himself, was described by the manufacturer, Zizo, as a "Trump President Bobblehead Pin Magnet" with an "irate, raging expression." Trump wore the pin alongside the American flag pin during a discussion where officials and oil tycoons praised his actions regarding Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro.
Trump bragged about the U. S. gaining access to Venezuela's oil reserves, stating that the U.
S. and Venezuela combined hold 55 percent of the world's oil. He suggested this would benefit American oil companies and the United States economically.
Vice President JD Vance and Senator Marco Rubio lauded Trump for his intervention in Venezuela, framing it as a move against a narco-terrorist and drug trafficker, while Trump's focus appeared to be on securing Venezuelan oil, which he explicitly compared to the Iraq War, noting that unlike the Bush administration, he intended to keep the oil for the U. S. and its companies.
