Trump Meddles in Honduran Election & Vows to Pardon Ex-President Jailed in U.S. for Drug Trafficking

President Trump has announced plans to pardon former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, who is serving a 45-year sentence for trafficking hundreds of tons of cocaine into the United States. In 2024, Hernández was convicted in New York of drug trafficking and weapons charges. “The evidence from the Southern District of New York was overwhelming,” says Dana Frank, professor of history emerita at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and a longtime observer of Honduran politics. Trump’s announcement came on Friday, and he also threatened to cut off funding if Hondurans did not elect his chosen conservative candidate as they went to the polls Sunday to pick a new president. “He’s almost threatening Honduras that if we don’t do what he is demanding … he will wreak vengeance against Honduras,” says Rodolfo Pastor, former secretary of the presidency under Xiomara Castro in Honduras.

There's only one reason for private citizen Jared Kushner to be involved in Ukraine/Russian 'peace' talks: he's there to look after the Trump organization's business interests.

“The Trump administration is replacing American democracy with a kleptocracy, a system of corruption in which a network of ruling elites use the institutions of government to steal public assets for their own private gain. It permits virtually unlimited theft while the head of state provides cover for his cronies through pardons and the uneven application of the law.”

With all the Trump regime's corruption and self-enrichment, is everyone clear yet on why electing people with experience running a for-profit business is actually a bad thing?

The country is not a business, and citizens are not customers or employees!!!
