This is several days old news but I am glad you underlined this. It is worth repeating a thousand times.
Of course we were in charge of the Venezuelans the whole time.
Re: Bukele he is a corrupt authoritarian leader who has undermined all the Democratic institutions of Guatemala, does not care about human rights, and made secret deals with gang leaders. He released some of the absolute worst from prison while they continued to commit massacres, and instead locked up foot soldiers as well as countless innocent people to give the impression of filling up prisons with criminals. The goal of Bukele's deal with Trump when he agreed to lock up the Venezuelans (to give him some credit, he didn't know that the men were not gang members and was shocked to see them) was about silencing some of these gang leaders, imprisoned in the US, who were about to tell the story of his corruption to the world as part of their sentencing. We'll never hear from them again obviously.
So no, Bukele is not a great president and anyone who thinks that is either ignorant or corrupt. Bukele only looks good in comparison to the orange clown running our country.
