Hunter Biden took aim at President Trump and Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele in an interview, calling both of them dictators.
The remarks were part of a lengthy interview in which former President Biden’s son made a number of colorful remarks about Democrats and Republicans alike.
In the case of Bukele, the younger Biden demanded the leader of El Salvador send back to the United States people who Trump’s administration had sent to that country as part of its deportation program.
“I’ll tell you what, if I became president in two years from now, or four years from now, or three years from now, I would pick up the phone and call the f‑‑‑ing president in El Salvador and say, ‘You either f‑‑‑ing send them back or I’m gonna f‑‑‑ing invade.’ It’s a f‑‑‑ing crime what they’re doing. He’s a f‑‑‑ing dictator thug,” Biden said during the interview released Monday.
“Bukele or Trump?” YouTube creator Andrew Callaghan asked.
“Both,” Biden responded.
Bukele responded to Biden on the social platform X in a post that referenced the latter’s past drug use.
“Is Hunter Biden sniffing powdered milk?” Bukele said in his Monday post that featured a clip with Biden’s comments.
In the first few months of his time back in the White House, Trump and his administration have heavily cracked down on immigration. In mid-March, the administration deported Venezuelans and Salvadorans to the infamous CECOT prison in El Salvador.
The government of El Salvador has formally asserted it is the U.S., not El Salvador, that has “legal responsibility” for Venezuelans held in CECOT.
