  1. El Salvador has been paid millions of dollars by the US to wrongfully imprison people in death camps. El Salvador is trying to use these people as a bargaining chip with Venezuela to get something in return. This is the very definition of human trafficking.

  2. Dicktaster fight club. I did not have that on my 2025 bingo card.

  3. It’s gonna be real funny when he goes to war with Venezuela thinking that Trump has his back only to find out that Trump did not, in fact, have his back.

  4. Cant wait to see the Libs trying to figure out how they can condemn both Maduro and Bukele in the same breath for completely different reasons.

  5. 2 1/2 Dictators playing with the lives of people. What a dark time.

  6. I mean Venezuela is right. It is literally human trafficking.

  7. The El Salvador dictator looks awful smug. Not a big fan of history, I suppose.

  8. Isn’t that what the United States is now doing under Trump’s leadership.

  9. The Trump family has long benefited from human trafficking. This US administration is probably the biggest human trafficking org in the world at this point

  10. This is the living embodiment of the three spidermans pointing at each other meme.

  11. That’s rich coming from the guy who is refusing to allow his own citizens back into his country. Doesn’t he realize that he’s part of the problem?

  12. > “Bukele is a serial human rights violator,” [Maduro crony] Saab said

  13. El Salvador is playing with fire it’s only a matter of time for them to imprison citizens of a country that’ll start a war over them being held hostage

  14. I don’t understand how El Salvador thinks they have ownership of these people, at least some who are US Citizens. Aren’t they just being jailed there? Isn’t that what Trump has been saying?
