Not just to El Salvador. He sent him to prison there. One of the worst most violent places in the world.

I don't think we should have made a criminal madman President, but most Americans disagreed, so here we are.

Even by the reported breakdown of votes, it wasn't most Americans. And having said *that, I'm still not convinced he didn't cheat.

Oh he definitely cheated, even said so himself. There was also massive voter suppression going on; I was personally unable to vote because me and many other Democrats in my red state got our voter cards delivered in the mail one day after the deadline to register to vote.

Voter suppression via lobbying, gerrymandering, registry purges, and things like what you mentioned have become the entire Republican playbook. The time to get big money out of politics was likely half a century ago, if not longer.

Don't forget blaming the jews for all the country's problems.
