Yeah, I mean, I thought Ben Dreyfus had this right, that Bucolet is dressed like the manager of a Zara in the Valley who goes to the food court and asks 19-year-old girls whether they've ever considered modeling. That's creepy. That's a creepy image. Adult braces, maybe. Yeah, but he looked creepy. Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, it just goes to show the craziness of the Trump administration foreign policy where we're, you know, we're giving the middle finger to Europe and Japan and, you know, other rich country trading partners of ours and, you know, also middle income countries like Mexico that we have deep economic ties to.

And where we're building the deeper relationship is with El Salvador, a tiny, relatively poor country that cannot do that much for us.

Right. That's clearly a top goal for them. It's gross. I mean, it was a gross scene, him there in the Oval Office. And I think, you know, look, El Salvador has been an absolute basket case for a long time.

And I think if you are in El Salvador, there is an argument to be made that Bukele's administration has been better than the prior administration because you basically had no rule of law in the country. And so, you know, whatever, you know, the manner in which that government is abusive is probably less abusive than the lack of governance regime that preceded it.

Yeah, letting the gangs just slaughter people, yeah. Right. But we are not a basket case like that. And so the idea that we need this sort of, you know, iron fist strongman to assist us is, you know, obviously substantively crazy. But it appeals to Trump, and he wishes that he could be a leader like Bukele.

But Bukele also has a really high approval rating because his administration is better for El Salvador than the prior one. Donald Trump is not bringing improvements for the United States, so that's why he doesn't have the kind of numbers that Bukele has.

I mean, I think it's interesting that as this administration becomes more bold about disregarding court orders, they still feel the need to pretend that they are following the court orders. I mean, Stephen Miller could have gotten up there and just said, you know, screw the Supreme Court, we're going to do what we want. He didn't.
