CHAPTER

The Strengthening Alliance: Bukele and Trump

This chapter examines the unique relationship between El Salvador's President Bukele and former President Trump, noting Bukele's early congratulations to Trump post-election. The discussion highlights the implications of their friendship, including the establishment of a caucus in the U.S. House of Representatives and the evolution of perceptions between the two leaders.

read on Bitcoin X that President Bukele was the first to congratulate President Trump on this election outcome, the first world leader. Is that true? And have they sort of made amends? Because a lot of people remember back when we talked on stage at the Bitcoin conference, Trump came out and said very negative things about El Salvador. And so I was curious your update on that. President
Speaker 1
Bukele was the first world leader to congratulate President Trump. And they're good friends. And the United States and El Salvador are good friends. We have for the first time ever an El Salvador caucus in the House, led by Matt Gaetz. They're friends. And I think perhaps, you know, the way to look at it is that President Bukele was the single only other world leader mentioned at the RNC, right? So that is very important. We are part of the global conversation now. And you can't not think of President Bukele. I assume that President Trump misspoke. And, but everybody has on their mind, President Bukele, right? So he's so famous, he's so popular. And so, you know, it's natural to just always add him, you know, I, you know, to think of him. Yeah,
Speaker 2
definitely. President Trump misspoke, you know, he, he basically was rattling through a stump speech and made some comments that were just factually not correct. And so, you know, I jumped on it, you know, as an engagement whore that I am and decided to make it into a big thing. And that got me, you know, they didn't stream my talk, our talk at the Bitcoin conference because they were like, oh, what if Max, you know, goes off on a tangent or whatever. But, you know, this is what I like to do in the media space. I'm a media provocateur as well as being a Bitcoin OG. So it's just, I think now to your point, the Trump-Buchelli friendship and alliance is extremely strong. It always was. During the first administration, they had a fantastic relationship. And they, I think the whole, and as you know, the Latino vote came out very, very strongly for Trump and it was the Latinos and Gen X. Stacey is a part of Gen X and she can explain more. She has a great theory on this, which really shocked me when I heard it because it's so right spot on. But those demographics are right in the wheelhouse. And so I think we're going to see a lot more synergy going forward.
