Other than that, tens of thousands of gang members in prison with no release date, it's great and certainly improved human rights in El Salvador significantly


Only if we assume that everyone who's been imprisoned is guilty, otherwise you might have to concede a whole lot of people are being denied their human rights. :roll:


He needs to sort out mainly his arrest quota, other than that, human rights are far better in El Salvador with his mass jailings than they've been in decades.

No justice system is perfect (if you can even call El Salvadors one) but overall far more people are happier and safer than the innocents who are in the prison, who are still slowly being released but not as quickly as they should obviously. El Salvadors case is one of "The greater good"

The people of El Salvador love him. They had no choice.

I know you dont agree with that definition of dictator so lets agree to disagree on that point.


That's fine, ultimately how exactly we define is dictatorship isn't a priority.

I suspect actions like confiscation of precious metals, or denial of religious liberties, or major changes to who can own guns would likely make you flip to labelling him a dictator or at least 'anti-freedom'.

Those would all represent pretty major rejections of the US constitution and of rule of law.

Personally I see a leader who rejects rule of law in favour of rule by decree as the #1 defining trait of a dictatorship, but we can agree to disagree on if that's diagnostic of dictatorship or merely a symptom.


It would make me consider him more anti-freedom if he did those things.I already consider Trump to not be the most gun friendly president ever since his first presidency.I already consider him somewhat anti-freedom in some ways in the gun department based on his past actions.It would not make me consider him a dictator though.I am against Trump or any other president ruling by executive orders.


Trump thinks that only our so-called "betters" should have firearms.
