Nayib Bukele has done many things to raise up the country of El Salvador in the world.
He cracked down on violent gangs with ruthless efficiency and made Bitcoin legal tender in the country. Some might say that he is the ‘Trump of El Salvador,’ in the sense that he has thrown a wrench in the system over there.
From the vantage point of ‘business as usual’ in El Salvador, Bukele is a complete radical.
Some have referred to him as the ‘cool’ dictator or the ‘benevolent’ dictator, but no matter how one feels about Nayib Bukele or his tactics, no one can disagree with his recent comments.
The President of El Salvador took to Elon Musk’s X to blast the United States in response to the recent Colorado Supreme Court Decision to remove President Trump from the 2024 ballot.
Bukele stated: “The United States has lost its ability to lecture any other country about “democracy”.

Dilbert creator and influencer Scott Adams had this to say:
“The Colorado judges showed us what happens when otherwise good people are brainwashed into thinking Trump is Hitler. They act the way anyone would. They do whatever it takes to stop him.
In this context, you can reasonably assume the 2020 election was rigged. The dynamic is the same: Otherwise honest people will bend the rules to stop Hitler.”

In case you missed it, The Associated Press had more on the Colorado Supreme Court ruling:
“A majority of the court holds that Trump is disqualified from holding the office of president under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment,” the court wrote in its 4-3 decision.
Colorado’s highest court overturned a ruling from a district court judge who found that Trump incited an insurrection for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, but said he could not be barred from the ballot because it was unclear that the provision was intended to cover the presidency.
“President Trump has never been convicted of any crime. This Colorado Supreme Court decision is a clear violation of not only his rights, but the rights of the American voter to vote for the candidate of their choice. This decision is what ELECTION INTERFERENCE looks like!
A key and important quote from the dissent of those CO Supreme Court judges voting against this unconstitutional decision comes from no less than a democrat Justice, Judge Samour—in his dissent, he wrote:
“I have been involved in the justice system for thirty-three years now, and what took place here doesn’t resemble anything I’ve seen in a courtroom.”
I fully expect the USSC to throw this case out, it should be a 9-0 vote (we’ll see) and a decision must be made immediately to reinstate Trump because ballots for Colorado are supposed to be to go to print in early January.
And this should shut down all the other states foolish enough to violate our constitution—this all has to stop and stop now!
Stay Steady America…we still have lady justice on our side and she will not relent as long as We The People remain firm in our determination to never give in to the soulless minority that wishes to “fundamentally transform” America into a communist country,” General Flynn told his followers.

Famed journalist Michael Shellenberger also spoke out: “Trump can’t be on the ballot because he attempted insurrection, says Colorado’s Supreme Court. But he didn’t. Jan 6 was a riot, not an insurrection. Behind the Democrats’ turn against democracy is years of planning, including a secret effort to undermine the 2020 election.”

NBC News had more on the decision in Colorado:
The court put its decision on hold until Jan. 4 to allow for further appeals.
It also said that if the matter is pursued before the U.S. Supreme Court before that date, the pause will remain in effect during that time and Colorado will be required to include Trump’s name on the primary ballot pending action by the Supreme Court.
