El Salvador's President Nayim Bukele is something of a freak, a loose cannon. His Twitter photo should give you the idea:
I can't tell if he's on the right or left. He's some kind of opportunist who's often described as a caudillo. He's an ex-communist with Venezuelan advisers, as the screen shot indicates at the top. But apparently the country's real communists don't like him. He's trashed his country's future by dropping the U.S. dollar as the country's currency and replacing it with bitcoin, an unreliable ledger currency favored by drug-dealers, money-launderers, and fast-buck speculators. He is said to be popular, based on all the corrupt and ineffective governments that came before him. I can't tell if he really is or not. One thing we do know is that illegal migration from El Salvador is not as bad as it used to be. We also know that he's not on speaking terms with Joe Biden based on some bad treatment the Bidenites gave him when he visited the U.S. in February.
Now Bukele has rattled the pot a little.
In response to a news report, undoubtedly based on Bidenite leaks, that he's cut a secret deal with El Salvador's MS-13 and Barrio 18 gangs to cut the country's crime rate down, or rather "provided financial incentives to Salvadoran gangs MS-13 and 18th Street Gang (Barrio 18) to ensure that incidents of gang violence and the number of confirmed homicides remained low," as the U.S. Treasury said in a statement. According to the Wall Street Journal, he's called out the Bidenites themselves on corruption.
According to Bonchie at RedState:

Nayib Bukele 🇸🇻
@nayibbukele
US taxpayers should know that their government is using their money to fund communist movements against a democratic elected (and with a 90% approval rating) government in El Salvador.
It’s not working though 😂
The people of El Salvador won’t go back to that terrible past.
Bonchie explains:
Bukele then responded by sharing private text messages that showed the US Ambassador to El Salvador asking for the release of a man named Neto Muyshondt. Musyshondt [sic] was previously arrested on charges related to using government funds to pay off gang members and drug trafficking.
For some reason, the United States is really interested in Muyshondt being released.
Sounds like bad stuff that the Bidenites should be explaining themselves on. Why are they fighting so hard to get a drug-dealer released from a Salvadoran prison, where he belongs? Was he an important human-smuggler? We know they love their open borders in Biden’s America. Was he an FBI informant? We see a lot of that these days, too. Why did they want an obvious bad guy out of the can, and why did they not want to tell anyone?
The Bidenites also need to explain just how Bukele got hold of the ambassador’s emails and how many others he’s got in pocket. What kind of security do these people have, and why do they seem to think that just because El Salvador is a small country, there’s no need to practice any sort of security as might be done with Russia or China? Apparently, it’s all out there for the taking, and they forget that this guy is all in for bitcoin, the ledger currency of the world’s criminals.
Bonchie flops around a bit with on-the-one-hand, on-the-other-hand stuff about Bukele’s approach to crime in seeking to cut deals.
On this, all I can say is that I see two things. One, when you are fighting a lake full of alligators, it’s natural and normal to take a few out of action through cutting deals. There is evidence that President Uribe of Colombia did that, by taking the narco-paramilitaries out of action in order to focus on fighting the nation’s most dangerous enemy, the Marxist-narco-terrorist, Venezuelan-sponsored FARC, which was the sensible and effective move. It may have been the case with Bukele and his country’s gangs, too, given that these Salvadoran gangs are decentralized, each a faction of its own. Knock out a few and focus on fighting the worst of them. If the Biden administration is horning in on a dynamic like that, it’s meddling very illegitimately.

Bitcoin is gaining value and the USD is going down.
I don’t know anything about Bukele but there’s no doubt at all that 0Biden and his toadies are evil. Stealing elections isn’t something nice people do.
Some of it anyway.
Weird stuff. Gotta be 0bama’s people, Joe isn’t subtle enough for such machinations. Corrupt enough, yeah, but I just can’t see him plotting something like this.
Is this sarcasm? Or is American Thinker really into propaganda now?
*** He’s trashed his country’s future by dropping the U.S. dollar as the country’s currency and replacing it with bitcoin, an unreliable ledger currency favored by drug-dealers, money-launderers, and fast-buck speculators. ***
Yes, those Walmart, and HEB grocery stores in my Central Texas town that have Bitcoin ATM’s are a regular haven for drug dealers, money launderers, and fast buck speculators.

We'll see what happens - this stuff doesn't happen in a vacuum.
El Salvador’s President Nayim Bukele...
From Wikipedia:
“Nayib Armando Bukele Ortez ... was born on 24 July 1981 in San Salvador.[4] He is a son of Olga Ortez de Bukele and Armando Bukele Kattán.[4][5] According to The Times of Israel, Bukele’s paternal grandparents were Palestinian Christians from Jerusalem and Bethlehem while his maternal grandmother was Catholic and his maternal grandfather was Greek Orthodox.[6] His father later converted to Islam and became an imam.[6]”
...
“Bukele was born into a Christian household, although his father converted to Islam later in life.[119] As the son of a Muslim father and a Christian mother, Bukele’s religious beliefs were a controversial subject in the 2019 election,[120] with an image surfacing showing Bukele praying at the mosque in Mexico City.[119] The Times of Israel published an image in February 2018 of Bukele “in deep reflection at the Western Wall in Jerusalem’s Old City.”[6]
Bukele has publicly stated he considers himself a believer in God first rather than religion.[6][121] In a 2015 interview he said that “I am not a person who believes much in the liturgy of religions. However, I believe in God, in Jesus Christ. I believe in his word, I believe in his word revealed in the Holy Bible. And I know that God does not reject anyone because of their origins.”[6][122]”
So he was from a Christian family, although his father converted to Islam. And he claims to be a follower of Jesus Christ.
In response to a news report, undoubtedly based on Bidenite leaks, that he’s cut a secret deal with El Salvador’s MS-13 and Barrio 18 gangs to cut the country’s crime rate down, or rather “provided financial incentives to Salvadoran gangs MS-13 and 18th Street Gang (Barrio 18) to ensure that incidents of gang violence and the number of confirmed homicides remained low,” as the U.S. Treasury said in a statement.
