Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele proposed carrying out a prisoner swap with Venezuela on Sunday, suggesting he would exchange Venezuelan deportees from the United States his government has kept imprisoned for what he called “political prisoners” in Venezuela.
In a post on the social media platform X, directed at President Nicolás Maduro, Bukele listed off a number of family members of high-level opposition figures in Venezuela, journalists and activists detained during the South American government’s electoral crackdown last year.
But… isn’t the US paying him to keep those prisoners?
Why would he care? What’s trump gonna do? Stop sucking his dick and build his own camps in the US? That won’t fly for at minimum several months yet l, even with his bloodthirsty base and he knows it. The US is a global paria at this point. There’s no one else trump could get to take them. To misquote a spudbrained dipshit “trump doesn’t have the cards”. If he wants to do something with the prisoners once he has them, trump can’t afford to object
