In a post-Untruth Social, President Trump endorsed conservative Tito Asfura for president, and he also said he would issue a pardon to former President Juan Orlando Hernández.

Hernández was convicted of drug trafficking in a federal court in the United States, and he was also implicated in huge corruption scandals at home.

Asfura took the National Party reins from Hernández, and he lost to a leftist candidate in 2021.

In his post, Trump threatened to pull USA to Honduras if Asfura doesn't win.

The most recent polls show three candidates are in a dead heat for the presidency.
