Donald Trump’s latest Fox News appearance has drawn sharp criticism from viewers, many of whom described his remarks as “embarrassing” and “pathetic.” Speaking with Sean Hannity on January 8, Trump claimed responsibility for the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, calling it an “amazing attack” and insisting no one was harmed. He also boasted that U.S. authorities had stopped “about 97 percent” of drugs entering by water, declaring that “almost no boats” remain. The comments quickly raised eyebrows, with critics questioning both the accuracy and tone of his statements.
The conversation also turned to the Nobel Peace Prize, a topic Trump has frequently raised. After Hannity mentioned that prize recipient María Corina Machado had praised the American people, Trump said he expected to meet her and suggested she wanted to share the honor with him. “It would be a great honor,” he said, fueling further online ridicule. Several social media users mocked his fixation, calling it “baffling” and self-centered.
Beyond the interview, Trump continues to face scrutiny over foreign policy rhetoric, including renewed talk of acquiring Greenland and escalating tensions with Venezuela. While the U.S. frames its actions as anti-drug efforts, critics argue Trump’s statements only deepen controversy ahead of key political battles.
