The president of El Salvador quickly weighed in after news that former President Trump was kicked off the ballot in Colorado by criticizing the idea of “democracy” in the United States.
“The United States has lost its ability to lecture any other country about ‘democracy,’” El Salvador President Nayib Bukele posted on X on Tuesday night.
Bukele, a vocal supporter of Trump in the past, was responding to breaking news on Tuesday night that the Colorado Supreme Court, citing the 14th Amendment, has disqualified former President Trump from appearing on the state’s ballots in 2024 as a result of the Jan. 6 Capitol Hill riot.
Bukele’s post, which had been seen almost 5 million times by Wednesday morning, was touted by many conservatives on social media.
