‘The Homegrowns Are Next. You Gotta Build Like 5 More of Those Places’
Everyone in the Oval Office who heard those words giggled.
We are all duty-bound. The Constitutional crisis is upon us. Donald Trump has stopped pretending he can help the El Salvadoran man illegally snatched off the streets of Maryland and sent to a Trump-imagined concentration camp in El Salvador. Trump is now openly mocking the Supreme Court and all Americans who still believe in the Constitution. Yesterday, he met with the president of El Salvador, and all he had to do was say:
“Hey, listen, let’s get this guy back to his wife and son. Can you find him in that prison and give him back?”
The El Salvadoran president would have responded in the affirmative because he wants to stay friends with the U.S. Images of him buddying up with POTUS strengthen his position in his own country. However, sensing that Trump and his fascist minions have zero intention of ever seeking the return of the innocent man, Abrego Garcia, when asked by a reporter whether he would facilitate the return of Garcia, President Nayib Bukele mocked the journalist and all Americans who still believe in the Constitution:
“No. Why would I return a terrorist to the U.S.? Your question is preposterous.”
