  1. From Bloomberg Opinion’s Juan Pablo Spinetto:

    To Latin American eyes, Donald Trump’s convention speech last week sparked curiosity for a specific reason: his out-of-nowhere [dig](https://x.com/CensoredMen/status/1814143743143899559) at El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele.

    Like many others, I’ve been scratching my head trying to understand why Trump would smear Bukele when they seemed close allies. It may well be that Trump is simply jealous of the young and polished leader who captivated the American right with his Tucker Carlson interviews and fired-up [speeches](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Omt50rGZ4n8) at CPAC. 

  2. If the GOP wins this year, we’re going to war in Mexico. They’re telling us that’s what they want to do. It would be foolish not to take them at their word.

  3. To be fair, Latin Americans have been harping about “US Imperialism” since the 1960’s. It’s not like they have a lot of love for the Gringos anyway.
