Simply put, the mafia that Trump is the current front man for is seeking to consolidate and control - not eradicate - the narco trade in South and Central America. They want ownership, whatever the cost. From Venezuela to Colombia to Honduras, the mafia behind Trump isn't seeking to "save American lives", it's aiming to takeover the production and trafficking of an extraordinarily profitable black market trade.

America is a Mafia state. It's as simple as that. I've never seen a more worthy candidate for the RICO Act than Donald Trump. Americans are being governed by organized crime.

"Organized crime" and "political party" are increasingly difficult to separate in the USA. One just seems a little more adept at pretense and concerned with maintaining a reputation than the other.

This is a little off topic, but I was struck by this sentence: "Running for the ruling LIBRE party is former Defense Minister Rixi Moncada, who has largely run as a continuity candidate, pledging to continue her party’s leftist agenda that helped bring down the country’s poverty rate from 73.6% in 2021 to 60.1% in 2025 and saw extreme poverty reduced by 15.4 points in the same period."

Those who think it can't get worse in the U.S. should contemplate that poverty rate, and the support of the U.S. president for a Honduran presidential candidate who would oppose efforts to lower the poverty rate.

Oligarchs benefit from an impoverished population. Stop saying you don't understand Trump's actions. They make complete sense. He gains when we lose.

The idea of the US (really any western country, but the US in particular) doubting the election results in other countries is pretty gross and ironic, when one considers the long history of American interference in foreign elections (up to and including straight up coups.)

Also narcocommunist would be a pretty great band name. Dibs.

There is one country that Trump is afraid of and looks the other way on war crimminal behavior thats right you guessed it Israel. He wears out the knees of his suits sucking up.
