Donald Trump's actions in capturing the leader of Venezuela and his wife will affect voters among a key demographic, but not necessarily in the way most would expect, a GOP strategist said this weekend.

Mike Madrid, who served as the Golden State's GOP political director before co-founding the group of current and former anti-Trump Republicans known as the Lincoln Project, has previously commented on Trump's political tactics.

Donald Trump made a comment over the weekend that stunned political observers and experts alike, and had some asking, "Is this real?"

The president on Saturday was discussing his administration's successful mission to capture the leader of Venezuela, as well as his wife, when Trump made the remark.

A retired general said the "hairs on his neck stood up" when he heard one part of Donald Trump's plans for Venezuela.

Ret. Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling appeared on MS NOW on Saturday, where he was asked about the Trump administration's decision to capture the leader of Venezuela. Trump went on to say he plans to have the U.S. take control over the country, as opposed to letting the nation's constitution do its job, and didn't rule out having U.S. boots on the ground.

Donald Trump in December was given a medal as he was awarded the FIFA Peace Prize, which some have dubbed a "participation trophy" for the president who has long coveted the Nobel Peace Prize, but even the backup award he received is being called into question after the U.S. captured Venezuela's leader.

Trump early on Saturday morning announced a successful plot for the U.S. to capture the foreign leader and his wife. The president later announced his intention to have the U.S. "run" the nation.

Donald Trump on Saturday accidentally "revealed his hand" when it comes to his plans for Venezuela and perhaps other nations, according to a congresswoman.

The president over the weekend made an awkward comment about the Monroe Doctrine, an old foreign policy that warned European powers against additional interference in the Americas, and attempted to rebrand it after his own name.

Multiple Republican lawmakers have taken a stand against Donald Trump in the wake of what some have dubbed an "illegal" military action against Venezuela's leader.

As far as Democrats are concerned, the list of who is criticizing the president is enormous. As NBC News pointed out, Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., "issued a pointed criticism" of Trump's Venezuela strike. But the outlet also included several Republicans and what they had to say.
