Tennis legend scorched over social media post about ‘insane’ Trump after Venezuela operation

Martina Navratilova is coming under fire for her reaction to President Donald Trump’s Venezuela operation.

The women’s tennis legend has shared a large number of posts criticizing the action that resulted in the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, implying that it was done to secure more oil and suggesting that criminal sanctions against oil companies that try to take advantage would be appropriate.

She also replied to a video of Trump speaking to Fox News following the capture, in which she calls the president “insane” and says the actions were “illegal.”

Look:

He is absolutely insane. Not to mention this is completely illegal.

“This incredible thing last night… We have to do it again. We can do it again, too. Nobody can stop us,” Trump said in the clip.

“He is absolutely insane. Not to mention this is completely illegal,” the tennis star opined.

In another reply to the same post, Navratilova declared that Trump “wants to be king of the WORLD!”

Look:

He wants to be the king of the WORLD!

Legalities have NEVER been an issue for him. He has ‘people’ to take care of that.

Blame the Supreme Court.
Second they said he couldn’t get prosecuted for anything he does as president, you knew this shit was coming.
Trump is blatantly breaking the law with no regard.

Please go back to playing and talking about games. You have no credibility as a political pundit. Sit down.

Your Trump derangement syndrome is blocking your itty bitty brains ability to function. You want him to be wrong so bad your brain cannot even process the possibility that he is right. It is honestly pathetic and sad to be totally quite honest with you. Go get that brain fixed

How is it insane and illegal??? Maduro had a $50M bounty on him, stole billions in private company assets, kidnapped Americans, was head of the Cartel of the Sun and WAS INDICTED! There is specific precedent for this.

Prove your claim or shut up you wack job!
