Nicolás Maduro made the “come get me”–style challenge to Donald Trump in August 2025 , in a speech where he said words to the effect of “Come get me, I will wait here in Miraflores, don’t be late, coward,” after the U.S. doubled the reward for information leading to his arrest.

Quick context

  • The remark came days after Washington raised the bounty to 50 million dollars for information leading to Maduro’s arrest, tied to U.S. “narco‑terrorism” and corruption charges.
  • In that speech, Maduro mocked Trump and dared the U.S. to come to the Miraflores presidential palace to seize him, framing it as a show of defiance against U.S. pressure.

Why it matters now

  • The quote is being widely resurfaced and paraphrased online because Maduro was later captured by U.S. special forces in a raid in Caracas in early January 2026 , making the earlier “come get me” dare look dramatically ironic in hindsight.
  • News coverage and forum discussions now often shorten or paraphrase the line as “come get me” when referring to that August 2025 speech.
