Trump: I will kill the drug cartels

Also Trump: Pardoning a powerful drug trafficker

Matt Novak @paleofuture.bsky.social · 54m

“Additionally, I Will be granting a Full and Complete Pardon to Former President Juan Orlando Hernandez who has been, according to many people that | greatly respect, treated very harshly and unfairly.”

Trump: If Tito Asfuro wins for President of Honduras, because the United States has so much confidence in him, his Policies, and what he will do for the Great People of Honduras, we will be very supportive. If he doesn't win, the United States will not be throwing good money after bad, because a wrong Leader can only bring catastrophic results to a country, no matter which country it is. Tito will be a Great President, and the United States will work closely with him in order to ensure the success, with all of its potential, of Honduras! Additionally, I Will be granting a Full and Complete Pardon to Former President Juan Orlando Hernandez who has been, according to many people that | greatly respect, treated very harshly and unfairly. This cannot be allowed to happen, especially now, after Tito Asfuro wins the Election, when Honduras will be on its way to Great Political and Financial Success. VOTE FOR TITO ASFURO FOR PRESIDENT, AND CONGRATULATIONS TO JUAN ORLANDO HERNANDEZ ON YOUR UPCOMING PARDON. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE HONDURAS GREAT AGAIN!
PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP
