After the deportation of Venezuelans to El Salvador by the Trump administration, President Nayib Bukele showcased the event dramatically on social media, presenting himself as a strong ally to Trump. His popularity stems from effective crime policies, yet his tactics include undermining civil liberties and alleged dealings with gangs. Bukele’s casual social media presence contrasts his authoritative governance, allowing him to project strength while navigating US politics, highlighting his growing power in the region and the complexities of his leadership style.
Mr. Bukele's use of social media illustrates how he shapes his image, often countering criticism with casual charm while displaying an iron-fisted approach to governance.
Despite Bukele's popularity due to his anti-gang stance, he faces allegations of undermining democratic institutions and potentially striking deals with those same gangs that his policies target.
