Trump Has Disastrous Public Event with Bukele Defying SCOTUS

A deranged display of lies, lawlessness, and love for dictators—this may have been the most shameful meeting in White House history.

By Brett Meiselas

What just happened in the Oval Office was a catastrophe—a trainwreck of authoritarianism, lies, and contempt for American democracy broadcast for the world to see.

Donald Trump met with El Salvador’s autocratic president, Nayib Bukele, and used the occasion not to promote diplomacy or human rights—but to spread Russian propaganda, mock the Supreme Court, and flirt with the idea of sending American citizens to prison camps in El Salvador. Yes, you read that right.

Trump openly said he would defy a Supreme Court ruling ordering the return of Kilmer Abrego Garcia—an innocent man the Trump regime deported by “mistake” to a gulag in El Salvador. When asked whether he’d help bring Abrego Garcia home, Trump sneered, attacked the press, and had Pam Bondi peddle blatant lies about Abrego Garcia’s legal status. And then came the Orwellian gaslighting—Trump and Stephen Miller falsely claimed that the Supreme Court ruled in their favor. It was a unanimous ruling against them.

This is what fascism looks like in real time: calling a wrongfully deported man a terrorist, claiming the power to strip American citizens of their rights, and floating the use of foreign prison camps as a solution to so-called “crime.” If they can do it to him, they can do it to any of us.

Trump also refused to condemn Putin after a brutal missile attack on Ukraine killed dozens, including children. Instead, he blamed Biden and Zelensky for “letting the war happen” and parroted Russian propaganda—yet again—right from the people’s Oval Office.

He wasn’t done. Trump bragged about passing another cognitive test (which is designed to screen for dementia), threatened to raise drug prices through tariffs, and casually floated the idea of bombing Iran. This isn’t leadership. This is lunacy.

And yet, this is what the media largely ignores or sanitizes. That’s why we’re here—to tell the truth, to expose the danger, and to sound the alarm before it’s too late. If you feel what I’m feeling right now—rage, urgency, resolve—then watch our latest report and help us grow this movement. Subscribe now.

Robert Reich today told us how this week we could BE A DICTATORSHIP.

1.The first way the Trump regime openly becomes a dictatorship is by directly defying a Supreme Court order.

2. The second way we officially become a dictatorship is if the Trump regime can accuse any American citizen of being so dangerous as to justify being sent to a foreign prison, without any independent court reviewing the regime’s evidence.

Could you clarify as to what a competent reporter could “do” here? There are several competent reporters (actual journalists) reporting on this today and prior to today. TIA

Expand full comment
stephanieb's avatar

Explain the misinterpretation of the ruling, maybe. April Ryan was good at this, though a barrage of demeaning commentary always followed her pointed questions.

Perhaps set up the question with a clear explanation of the Supreme Court’s ruling, then challenge their response of ‘in our favor’. (not true)

Likely a fool’s errand in a roomful of sycophants.

My terse comment wasn’t meant to be derogatory, but a rallying cry: just to be a reporter in this climate is a righteous calling.

Expand full comment
CatChex's avatar

stephanieb - thanks for responding.

We have family and friends who are active and retired journalists (actual journalists! imagine). It is both a righteous and increasingly fraught/dangerous calling.

I don't know that the issue here is one of needing to "explain" or clarify the SCOTUS ruling - it's clear that this regime will cherry pick, reinterpret/misinterpret/ignore whatever they don't like. And they're more.... defiant? (for want of a better word right now) with every passing day.

April Ryan was very good at this, I agree.

The demeaning commentary and hostile, disrespectful, threatening behavior toward the press in the past decade+ is just jaw-dropping. Of course, some of the stenographers in the WH press pool aren't really reporters or journalists.... they're... stenographers, some of them there to troll.

In any case, we NEED journalists.

My son-in-law (working journalist) did a big investigative project years ago w a follow up book. The death threats (I wish I was kidding) among other things, were insane.

I confess to buying the group "First Amendment Socks" and enameled "America Needs Journalists" pins, in addition to food and drink and providing dog-sitting, - among other things.

Their investigations, reporting, writing were truly acts of courage.

We need more of this.

And SCOTUS needs to not couch certain decisions in what some would call "weasel-speak"....

True, but there are enough who have repeatedly and PRIVATELY said, even since the first impeachment, that they were voting against their true beliefs, and many are now wavering.

OBLIVIOUS to how far away that is, and unable to recognize (accept??) how far IN THE WRONG DIRECTION we've already come to possible destruction. This is what happens when people value their $$$ or their jobs above all else, which is totally UNACCEPTABLE when elected to keep this nation and allll its people safe.

MM Harris - I don’t disagree with you which is why, many days, I spend my time on what feels like a …. fool’s errand… and I call and email these folks. I try to be polite (If I feel I can’t be polite, I don’t call at this point) - but reminding folks of their oath, what is supposed to be their responsibility to their constituents, playing whatever guilt cards I can pull out (and put into polite phrasing, with statistics, data) because I don’t know WHAT ELSE to do (me) - I don’t have $$ to throw at them (enough for them to care) - so I feel like I’m engaging in “good trouble harassment” (for want of a better description). I have neighbors who voted for this and they are in the “finding out” phase and take zero joy or satisfaction in that. What I have asked them to do (help with) is to call and let those who are (ostensibly) elected to represent all of us to tell them what we need, how things are affecting us, etc. Have a dozen (roughly) folks more on board… but I can’t be quiet, nor roll over.

MM Harris's avatar

All your calls and email MATTER!!!!!! Those familiar with congress will tell us that every elected official pays CLOSE attn to polls, types of call/email they're getting, (AND, currently, they're watching the town halls, and the protests). CALLING AND WRITING can be time consuming. (I limit mine to a simple, ISSUE, PLEASE VOTE NO (OR YES) THEN THANK THEM FOR THEIR CONSIDERATION. (I also call on off hours because you can usually leave voice mail and don't have to wait for a human to pick up your call, etc.) I do not request a response. These days the assistants who are taking calls, listening to voice mail, reading email are deluged. They're not their to discuss (unless a caller has a dire problem, like mission SS check etc). They're just tallying by issue what's been requested. Not all of us has the time OR ENDURANCE or PERSISTANCE to do what you're doing, yet it a huge part of making an impression. PLEASE don't undervalue your contributions!!!!!

Expand full comment
CatChex's avatar

I absolutely do NOT undervalue my time and contributions here but it truly feels like at least a part-time job at this point. Not quite what I’d planned for 2025, but here we are. What is maddening is the lack of responsiveness from our (my) D Senators - for a variety of reasons. And I realize I’m not alone in this (I find myself wanting to respond with “can you please answer the question that was actually asked?”)

Am “old”/older? and cynical veteran of campaigns since the ‘70’s and, bluntly, and amazed that we’re still needed to march and protest against some of this $#it, again - still - again.

What I do marvel at are the 30-ish folks who, pre-election, told me that weren’t going to vote because ‘it doesn’t matter’…. except they’ve figured out it does matter. So…. how can we get information to them, mobilize them, etc.

Again. Not giving up. Not shutting up.

But this is all exhausting (as one word).

I know what you mean. If you watch msnbc's Rachel Maddox, you know that she devotes a segment of every show to the protests taking place all over the country and, every single day. You can SEE how big the crowds are getting. Tonight she showed Bernie/AOC in LA (36.000 right in front of city hall.) She didn't have the one they all did (as a surprise, I think) in Cochella over the weekend: 125,000!!! IT IS REJUVENATING. She also remarks about what we can see for ourselves: every generation is participating. She highlights the huge crowds in solid ruby red states or areas -- it is remarkable. Yes, disappointing that so many have felt their vote doesn't matter. I think they have learned the hard way that that is not true. LOTS of trump supporters w/ buyer's remorse. Rachel = 9pm EST, repeated at Midnight--she normally does this segment fairly early in her hour. HANG IN THERE!

Shhhh! The Secret That The Nazis Don’t Want You To Know

It was no secret in 2024 that runaway inflation had decimated the middle class due to the loss of the purchasing power of the dollar estimated to be 90% of what it was in 1970 Due to this loss of purchasing power the value of the dollar is going down and due to that the value of gold is going up since gold is real money without counterparty risk and the value of the dollar rests on nothing but the confidence of the people who use this fiat currency

The charade the government tells us is that the currency has intrinsic value but Nixon in 1971 took our economy and its currency off of the gold standard leaving both political parties to rack up trillions of dollars in debt now with the Cheeto Strongman’s regime ready to cross $40T dollars in order to give his billionaire cronies tax breaks Of course, this is unsustainable but the government and the two political parties don’t want its citizens to know that Now faced with the biggest debt bubble in world history the Wall Street and the government wants to minimize the problem

But when a credit bubble meets tariffs disaster becomes inevitable just as it did in the early 1930’s This is now being played out as equity markets will gradually begin in free fall Of course Wall Street wants you to believe all is well but it’s not

The bond market that used to be a safe haven when the equity market falters has now lost its status and that’s because the foreign investment community that holds $13T in Treasury bonds that cover our debt is losing confidence in America and its government This puts the country at risk at not being able to cover the interest on its debt This is called a debt trap and is a concern for the investment community and government What follows is a currency crisis

So the safe haven for investors has become precious metals namely gold and silver and explains their rise in value

While you are accurate that the Bloated Yam looked dreadful to anyone who believes in democracy, I have to point out that the media that covered that event and his fans to NOT believe in democracy.

They saw him and his puppet leader "getting tough" on the only crime the average American cares about, which is street crime and home invasions.

Organized crime, white-collar crime, political corruption, and frauds are merely "the cost of doing business." Mobsters are admired, whether real (Capone, Gotti) or fictional (Corleones, Sopranos).

This Oval Office debacle was a full throated Orwellian shitshow. In a setting that confers respect and authority, Trump and his minions told total lies, created dystopian fantasies, and presented convoluted double speak, turning reality upside down.

Reporters not able to rebut or refute the craziness, this regime gains tremendous credibility since they have the final authoritative word, and journalists have been beaten into submission.

Trump now completely defies court orders, claiming he had won when he loses, leaving SCOTUS to either escalate their language or look for technicial off ramps to avoid becoming totally impotent.

Congress has caved and two years is a long time to wait for election relief, if in fact, we still hold elections. It is shocking to be present in this metamorphosis into a fascist, authoritarian state, yet here we are.

We are close to a reckoning of this nightmare. Either the other branches of government awaken from their politically induces coma, or we are fucked.

I could't watch more than a few minutes of this perfidy! Who in the hell thinks it's ok for the president of the United States to speak these lies and be so disrespectful and childish to a press member? It made my blood boil with all those low-life idiots stupidly repeating whatever their god-king wanted them to say. I am past the point of hoping we can make him hold the line, or that he will die in office. I wish we could regain the military and storm the White House and send every one of these trump sycophants to a prison somewhere that they could never emerge from. donald trump should have gone to prison a long time ago, and all the fools who voted for him again should have to live under his dictatorship on some other planet forever! Can you tell that I am upset?

In Salvador by Rubén Blades

Better cross yourself before you leave your home

Don forget to carry your I.D.

Anytime you walk the streets in Salvador

You can tell what kind of eyes you meet

Cause when night comes

they′ll hunt you down

they'll take your life and leave you to be found

No one can protect your life in Salvador

Judges that condemn you have no names

could it be that gentleman that lives next door

or the guy who goes with you to work.

those men can walk and sing the way you do

They can tell a joke and smile at the girls

Men who kill have heroes who play soccer too

They argue with their kids about the world

But right or wrong

They′ll hunt you down

Unlike other strong men in Latin America Bukeke is very popular with most El Salvadorans. Why not too? He did make it possible for ordinary citizens to go out for a meal without being terrorized or killed by the thousands of gang members that roamed the streets. His roundup had a purpose. Trump’s does not. Americans are not being terrorized by wild eyed criminal immigrants that Fox insists are on every corner of America. Nor does Bukele need to look high and low for immigrants to deport to make his quota and make himself look good to his base. Trump does so why not tack on that American citizens in jail should be deported to El Salvador too? Clearly Bukele has a financial agreement with Trump so it was easy for him to sit calmly in his chair while Trump blabbed on about his great health and stellar cognitive skills. None of it had to do with anything related to two heads of state discussing substantive matters related to their two countries. Say what you want about Bukele’s handling of his country’s affairs but compared to our insane POTUS and his band of lick asses in the room Bukeke was the only one behaving in a manner appropriate for such a meeting.

I’m concerned that we have multiple news sources—each espousing the truth trying to build their respective audience from the tattered remains of mainstream media—for a price. I’m not disputing the value, but I am concerned about bias and veracity in the rush to build paying audiences. The a la carte business model is prohibitively expensive and risks capture by for-profit intrigue. It would great to see a collaborative model that promotes integrity, ubiquity, accuracy, and timeliness without the prohibitive cost of duplication in a highly fragmented market.
