The instant I saw it I figured they transited him to the hotel wherever the senator was staying, and they just spoke in the restaurant.
The fact that Bukele would stage this, and go so far as to place fake drinks on the table, shows how much of a banana republic El Salvador and Trumpistan are.
The worst part is the majority are apparently braindead enough to not instantly see right through this.
Some minor pedantry:
-Wikipedia. El Salvador and America aren't banana republics; they're republics that are bananas.
The instant I saw the picture I noticed the brand new Chiefs hat. I doubt that was his hat from when he was first incarcerated that they returned to him. They probably just gave it to him to make him look more American, or something.
I don't know whether he cares about the NFL at all. Is he a Ravens fan? If I were incarcerated and my family saw me in Chiefs merch they would instantly know I was wearing it under duress. And I wonder if any Eagles fans are relieved that, even though they won the Super Bowl, their team isn't a prop in this disaster.
