The Oval Office meeting between Donald Trump and Nayib Bukele was marked by an unsettling camaraderie and a blatant disregard for democratic norms. Both leaders, who have previously touted their dictatorial approaches, exhibited a lack of empathy towards issues like the wrongful deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. As they shared laughs over deportations, the gaudy redecoration of the Oval Office by Trump added a surreal layer to the encounter, with abundant gold embellishments that critics argue symbolize both insecurity and the absurdity of their leadership styles.
Trump's gaudy redecoration of the Oval Office reflects not just a taste for extravagance but also an underlying sense of insecurity and petulance, according to critics.
During the meeting, Trump and Bukele displayed a chilling sense of impunity, joking about deportations, while dismissing the plight of wrongly deported individuals without remorse.
