Foreign leader assesses America’s decline: ‘It has to be by design’

El Salvador President Nayib Bukele ruffled a lot of feathers when he declared in a March Twitter post, “The most powerful country in the world is falling so fast, that it makes you rethink what are the real reasons. … Something so big and powerful can’t be destroyed so quickly, unless the enemy comes from within.”

Fox News’ Tucker Carlson played a clip from a forthcoming interview with Bukele on Tuesday night where he expands on his tweet. “The demise of the U.S. has to come from within. The enemies have to be inside,” he begins. “No external enemies can cause so much damage as internal operations.” Sadly, he is right.

“Cities that were pristinely beautiful 30 years ago are wastelands,” Bukele tells Carlson. He cites Los Angeles, San Francisco, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, and says he would not live in them.

He continues, “When you look at how the cities are eroding so fast, this has to be by design. Who would make so many stupid decisions? … They’re literally giving people drugs in some U.S. cities. Or they say we’re going to give you money if you don’t work.”

“They make all of these laws that make no sense. If you have high crime, [they say] ‘Okay, I have a solution. Let’s defund the police.’”

He makes the obvious point that those who makes these laws know very well what the consequences will be.

“They can’t be so dumb,” he concludes. “Of course, they’re not. They’re smart. They’re very smart people. So, why are they doing these things? Because it’s by design. It has to be by design.” Bukele nails it.

The cumulative effect of nearly two years of Democratic control has fundamentally changed the U.S., just as the Biden administration had hoped it would. Living through the transformation day in and day out, we may be less aware of the changes than a foreigner, who looks at America through a series of snapshots and thus, sees the difference more plainly.

Starting with the most obvious, when President Joe Biden took office, the inflation rate was 1.4%. His administration’s excessive spending has sent inflation to a 40-year high. The average price for a gallon of gas in the U.S. was $2.38. On Wednesday, it stood at $3.77, a 60% increase. This administration declared war on the fossil fuel industry and squandered our energy independence.

Biden’s decision to abruptly withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan will go down as the biggest military blunder in U.S. history. It reduced our stature in the world community and emboldened our enemies. Anyone think Vladimir Putin would have invaded Ukraine if Donald Trump were still the president?

Roughly 4.5 million immigrants have poured into the U.S. illegally over our open southern border. In fiscal year 2022 alone, there were nearly 2.4 million migrant encounters at the border plus an estimated 600,000 “gotaways.” Moreover, the increasing quantities of fentanyl smuggled into the country have made drug overdoses the leading cause of death for Americans aged 18-45.

Conspiring with Big Tech, this administration has trampled our First Amendment right to free speech. And they’re gunning for the Second Amendment.

The Justice Department’s asymmetric application of the law has become glaring. Among many other offenses, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland sicced the FBI on parents who objected to the teaching of Critical Race Theory and gender education to elementary school students in public schools.

Democrats’ misguided defund the police movement and their focus on criminal justice reform have led to a spike in crime. Organized retail theft and laws that made shoplifting under $950 worth of goods a misdemeanor have left retailers at the mercy of criminals and forced many stores to close their doors.

Our military leaders have become more concerned with identifying white supremacists among their ranks than protecting Americans. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s embrace of wokeness has led to the military’s worst recruiting crisis since 1973 when the draft ended.

The rights of LGBT Americans have been prioritized over those of ordinary citizens.

Bukele rightly notes that no government would make so many stupid decisions by accident and concludes that “it has to be by design.” America’s decline over the past two years is the result of deliberate and dangerous policy decisions made by this administration. They’ve worked hard to pursue their ultimate goal of one-party rule in the U.S. And they have done so with astonishing speed.

Unfortunately for them, the American people have noticed and they’re about to deliver a spectacular rebuke. The Democrats better fasten their seatbelts. The election won’t be easy for them.

  1. As bad as the Democrat arse whooping will be Tuesday, it won’t be as bad as the Democrats have earned. Anyone in their right mind would not vote for a Democrat. We have many not in their right mind. The enemy is in the wire.

  2. As many have concluded over time, e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g. the left touches it destroys. The left now dominates the Dem Party, previously the Party kkk and now the Party of blm and antifa. This is t.r.u.e. Why would anyone who is able to think, able to connect dots, able to determine cause and effect and consequences of political actions, vote for a Democrat when it is so obvious it is corrupt? Answer: they would not do so. If one enjoys life to the fullest extent possible, one would not jump off a skycraper. So, why would such a person elect a Democrat and, in effect, commit suicide? They would not. Vote to re-establish American, vote Republican. No rinos but Republicans.

    Vote for responsible taxation and gov spending – not the disaster of the Democrat Party and their record breaking inflation and spending and warmongering. What person in their right mind would decide to defy Nature and change their gendar – no one would. That is a mental illness. To think not is to deny biology and genetics and one’s dna. It is stupid to fall for that idiocy. What nation in its right mind would send an elected president to the Vatican so he could mess his pants such that the whole world hears what he did. Then shortly afterward while conversing with the Queen Consort and her friend, breaks wind loud and long without blinking an eye. He is such an international embarrassment for this Nation. Get rid of these embarrassing people and MAGA!!!
