El Salvador’s president, Nayib Bukele, is in agreement with President Trump that activist judges in the U.S. need to be reined in.
After the president called for the impeachment of the judge who ruled against his deportation plan, Bukele issued a response, which has since gone viral, racking up 158 million views at the time of writing.
“The U.S. is facing a judicial coup,” he wrote on X, with many in agreement.
The U.S. is facing a judicial coup.

He’s not wrong. The corrupt and unelected judiciary is trying to finish what the corrupt administrative state started against Trump in 2016. https://t.co/STW6u0jPR8

Apparently referring to Judge James E. Boasberg of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Trump made the case for impeachment.
"WE DON’T WANT VICIOUS, VIOLENT, AND DEMENTED CRIMINALS, MANY OF THEM DERANGED MURDERERS, IN OUR COUNTRY," Trump said on Truth Social.
The post came after Boasberg tried to stop deportation flights of violent criminal aliens mid-air.
Last month, Bukele explained that “'check and balances’ don’t truly exist unless the judicial branch can also be checked and balanced."
Commenting on a response from Elon Musk, Bukele added: "If you don’t impeach the corrupt judges, you CANNOT fix the country. They will form a cartel (a judicial dictatorship) and block all reforms, protecting the systemic corruption that put them in their seats."
The only way to restore rule of the people in America is to impeach judges. No one is above the law, including judges.

That is what it took to fix El Salvador. Same applies to America. https://t.co/HtPINo6ngU

As Matt reported on Friday, Trump eviscerated these judges trying to stop what the American people voted for.
