In a post on Truth Social, Trump reiterated his backing for Honduran presidential candidate Nasry Asfura of the conservative National Party and said that "if he doesn't win, the United States will not be throwing good money."

Ttump wants to intervene in the Honduran election just like he did in 2017

1. I thought we executed drug runners!!!

at least the low level ones in fishing boats...

[C Moon]

2. So he's shooting drug running Venezuelan boats out of the ocean...

and now he's going to release a convicted drug trafficking presidential candidate.

Why doesn't he just write an executive order to fire himself?

3. Hmmm. Bombing boats and staging for invasion while pardoning a drug traffiker sentenced to 45 years??? Seems bizarre

4. Waiting for TSF to pardon Manuel Noriega (before he's told that Noriega is dead).

9. He can still pardon him posthumously.

Probably not much payoff in it, though.

5. Is Trump claiming that there was something defective in the federal prosecution and conviction?

What's his basis for pardoning this guy?

10. He's rich with good connections for crime.

6. Money money money...

7. Right out of a Putin playbook

Except Dump is too stupid to keep it secret. He thinks by announcing his criminality it makes it all ok. We are way past the time to impeach. Fucking Congress needs to remove this criminal from the white house.

8. Maybe that's who he got his cocaine from,

back in the day. On the other hand, could be Don Jr.'s current connect. Or both.
