Donald Trump just held a disastrous meeting in the Oval Office with El Salvador's autocratic president, Nayib Bukele. I am not being hyperbolic when I say that this was one of the single most shameful meetings to ever take place in the Oval Office in American history. Trump spread Russian propaganda, said he'll be defying a ruling from the Supreme Court, and said he's looking into sending American citizens to concentration camps in El Salvador. What we are witnessing right now is a full-blown constitutional crisis, and we must not avert our eyes to the reality unfolding in the United States of America. My name is Brett Mycelis with the Midas Touch Network. Remember to subscribe to our YouTube channel. We are on the way to 5 million subscribers. So Trump gave Bukele a very warm greeting as he entered the White House. I gotta say, the difference between the respect that Trump shows to autocrats compared to our allies, like Ukrainian President Zelensky, for example, is striking.
And by the way, Bukele did not wear a suit, but that did not seem to bother Trump and his administration this time. As Midas Touch editor-in-chief Ron Filipkowski said, quote, In this moment, Caitlin Collins asked Trump if he plans to ask to return Kilmar Abrego-Garcia, that's the man the Trump administration admitted to sending to an El Salvadoran prison camp, by, quote, mistake.
Trump attacked the press and then Attorney General Pam Bondi lied about Abrego Garcia's past and immigration status. As a reminder, he was here legally and said that it's up to El Salvador if they want to return him to the United States. Watch this.
Let's hear the question from this very low rated anchor at CBN.
Do you plan to ask President Bukele to help return the man who your administration says was mistakenly deported? The man who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador?
Well, let me ask Pam, would you answer that question?
Sure, President. First and foremost, he was illegally in our country. He had been illegally in our country. And in 2019, two courts, an immigration court and an appellate immigration court, ruled that he was a member of MS-13 and he was illegally in our country. Right now, it was additional paperwork that needed to be done. That's up to El Salvador if they want to return him. That's not up to us. The Supreme Court ruled, President, that if, as El Salvador wants to return him, this is international matters, foreign affairs, if they wanted to return him, we would facilitate it, meaning provide a plane.
So then the El Salvadoran president said that he doesn't have the power to return Abrego Garcia to the United States either.
How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States? I don't have the power to return him to the United States. But you could release him inside El Salvador. Yeah, but I'm not releasing, I mean, we're not very fond of releasing terrorists into our country. We just turned the murder capital of the world into the safest country in the Western Hemisphere. And you want us to go back into releasing criminals so we can go back to being the murder capital of the world? No, that's not gonna happen.
So suddenly all these people who like to consider themselves so powerful, all of a sudden they are just powerless to do anything here. You see what's going on here? And did you notice, by the way, what he said? Quote, we're not very fond of releasing terrorists. Listen, if they can call a wrongly deported, innocent man, a terrorist and sent him to a foreign gulag, then nobody is safe. Caitlyn Collins then asked Trump about his own comments that he said the other day that he would listen to the Supreme Court. Trump naturally insulted her. Watch this.
Well, Mr. President, you said that if the Supreme Court said someone needed to be returned, that you would abide by that. You said that on Air Force One just a few days ago. And they said that it must be facilitated.
Why don't you just say, isn't it wonderful that we're keeping criminals out of our country? Why can't you just say that? Why do you go over and over
