Donald Trump recently gave credence to a widely discredited allegation asserting that Caracas controls electronic voting software globally and led to his electoral loss.

The professor continued that criminal organization assertions about Venezuela have not gained traction with Trump's base, who have been reluctant to support overseas intervention.

Theory Proponents

Regarding the seeming support of his allegations, the conspiracy advocate responded: "He is aware this is a genuine concern, he understands the facts, proof in under federal control."

Internal Skepticism

At the same time, a critic of the current government who backs decisive steps against the administration but is unconvinced by the election claims indicated that proponents of the controversial narrative are seeking to exploit their access to the administration.
