With Salvadoran dictator Nayib Bukele very much in the news, thanks to his collaboration with Donald Trump's mass deportation campaign, I'm re-upping my 2023 interview on the self-described "world's coolest dictator" with Michael Paarlberg. We talked about whether Bukele's supposed “Salvadoran miracle” was real, whether the country's gang problem had been solved (and how), and how American fascists got so into a Central American president of Palestinian descent.
