This is a nice gesture (and a horrid photograph) but I do wonder whether either of the Dells have read the law that created those "trump accounts".
I did read the law.
It is like most R-party "accounts" - a scam (largely benefiting crypto bros.)
It is one of the most badly drafted pieces of legislation that I have seen. It is full of ambiguities that will lead to future disputes over who gets what.

European leaders' statements:
"Well yes, Maduro was a dictator" (which makes them sound gullible, as if that was the reason, while Trump himself already talks about the oil), followed by
"International law should be respected" (which sounds hollow when not mentioning the evident breach).

It doesn't matter if Nicolšs Maduro is a dictator or not, at all: no international law supports USA kidnapping a president and his wife bombing the capital of a country. For example: USA isn't going to kidnap Mohamed bin Salman, Saudi Barbaria's King, regardless of it being a brutal dictatorship, for a single reason: they already control Saudi oil.

The first point is self-obviously true - not only from the general POV (Iraq and Afghanistan are perhaps my generation's most obvious examples) but from LatAm's POV as well (look up the list of coups and covert operations in North and South America over the last 70 years).
