One theory I've heard from mainstream media is -- one after another, he is more or less seeking retribution and settling old scores on his varoius opponents and criticis.
Just yesterday, John Bolton is indicted for mishandling classified information. James Comey was also indicted last month.
During Trump's 1st term, the US had supported an opposition leader and recognized him as the the legitimate Venezuela president. Ultimately, the opposition government fell apart admist the standoff to the Maduro gov, and the opposition leader dude had fled to the US (Florida, I think?). So Trump is trying to get back at Maduro again.
Realistically, most of the drugs trafficked by Venezuela goes to Europe, so Venezuela doesn't really pose a threat to the US in terms of drug trafficking. But just since when has facts ever stopped Trump from acting irrationally?
