When El Salvador's autocratic president, Nayib Bukele, celebrated his second inauguration, right-wing celebrities including Donald Trump Jr. and Tucker Carlson praised his leadership, ignoring his constitutional overreach and human rights abuses.
Carlson remarked that Bukele was 'the most popular elected official in the world,' while Trump Jr. expressed a desire for more leaders like him, highlighting the ideological alignment between Bukele's rule and far-right narratives.
The attendance of prominent Republicans at Bukele's inauguration indicates a strategic alliance to cultivate anti-globalist sentiment, underscoring Bukele’s alignment with a broader populist agenda promoted by former President Trump.
Despite Bukele's controversial rise to power, the support he at the inauguration reflects a growing trend of endorsing authoritarian figures in the context of global right-wing politics.
