Trump says he has authorized covert CIA action in Venezuela
President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he had authorized the Central Intelligence Agency to conduct operations in Venezuela, markedly escalating U.S. pressure on President Nicolás Maduro amid a string of lethal strikes against alleged drug trafficking boats in Caribbean waters off that country’s coast.
Trump declined to say whether he had authorized the CIA to overthrow Maduro, a step some of his top national security aides have urged. “I think Venezuela’s feeling the heat,” he said at a White House news conference.
The president was asked about reports that he signed a highly classified document, known as a “finding,” that allows the CIA to conduct covert operations in foreign countries, ranging from clandestine information operations to training guerrilla opposition forces and conducting lethal strikes. Trump’s order was reported earlier by the New York Times. The details of the new authorities now available to the CIA remain unclear.

If the critique is that trump has said he has authorised "covert" CIA action. Where exactly in the piece does he say that?
I can't see any quote attributed to Trump (and there's hardly any quotes from him in the article, by the way) where he says he has authorised covert CIA action.
The NYT and the WP are saying he has authorised "covert" action, he hasn't.
He's not said anything in those two articles that imply what he's going to do, how he's going to it, or when. The only quote in both article that would imply any action is about to be done is:
Quote:
We are certainly looking at land now, because we’ve got the sea very well under control
|
From that one quote you have these two articles.
The rest is fluff from unnamed and uncorroborated "people familiar with the matter", or "former US officials said"

Re: President Trump 2.0
Trump says he authorised CIA in Venezuela as Maduro says 'no to regime change'
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0ex1jq9pdvo
Quote:
Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office on Wednesday alongside FBI Director Kash Patel and Attorney General Pam Bondi, Trump was questioned about the New York Times report.
"Why did you authorise the CIA to go into Venezuela?" a journalist asked.
"I authorised for two reasons really," Trump said in a highly unusual acknowledgement from a US commander-in-chief about an intelligence organisation whose activities are typically shrouded in secrecy.
"Number one, they [Venezuela] have emptied their prisons into the United States of America."
He added: "And the other thing are drugs. We have a lot of drugs coming in from Venezuela, and a lot of the Venezuelan drugs come in through the sea, so you get to see that, but we're going to stop them by land also."

Where does he say that the CIA operations he authorised were "covert", which was the source of your ridicule

From my post above

And from the NY Times
Quote:
Mr. Trump acknowledged on Wednesday that he had authorized the covert action
