The US Congressional Progressive Caucus on Friday accused President Donald Trump of “flagrantly interfering” in Honduras’ upcoming presidential election after Trump announced his endorsement of right-wing candidate Nasry “Tito” Asfura and repeated threats he’s made previously ahead of other electoral contests in which he sought to secure a conservative win.

On the social media platform X, Trump warned that only a victory for former Tegucigalpa Mayor Asfura and the National Party in Sunday’s election will allow Honduras and the US to “fight the Narcocommunists, and bring needed aid to the people” of the Central American country.

      He doesn’t matter, per se, it’s the entire party and anyone that supports it.

      And they aren’t going anywhere and 93% of the opposing side has no gusto or passion to truly fight back. They think taking the high road will work. They think voter turnout will work. They think bumper stickers and signs will work.

        Super old, but also a cockroach of a human being. They tend to outlive expectation.
