Pro-Bitcoin El Salvador President Foresees Donald Trump’s Victory In US 2024 Elections
Nayib Bukele, the pro-Bitcoin President of El Salvador, has expressed confidence in Donald Trump’s ability to win the 2024 US Presidential elections despite his legal challenges. In a recent interview, Bukele shared his insights, drawing parallels between Trump’s situation and his own political experiences.
El Salvador President Supports Donald Trump
Bukele, known for his groundbreaking move to make Bitcoin legal tender in El Salvador, discussed how he faced systemic opposition during his rise to power. He recounted the challenges he encountered, including the cancellation of his party’s registration and numerous legislative and judicial obstacles. Despite these hurdles, Bukele managed to secure a supermajority in Congress, which allowed him to enact significant reforms.
Moreover, reflecting on Trump’s legal battles, Bukele suggested that these adversities might actually boost the US presidential candidate’s campaign. He argued that continuous legal attacks could increase Trump’s popularity among voters, rather than diminish it. “If there’s no way to stop him from competing in the election, all the things that they do to him will just give him more votes,” Bukele remarked in a Tucker Carlson interview.
In addition, the El Salvador President noted that unless Trump’s candidacy is legally blocked, attempts to discredit him might inadvertently energize his base. Bukele’s own political journey has been marked by significant opposition, yet he managed to navigate these challenges by adhering strictly to the rules, even those set by his opponents.
Hence, his administration’s success, particularly in security reforms and gaining popular support, serves as a testament to his strategy. Therefore, Bukele believes that Trump could similarly turn adversity into a campaign strength.
Bukele’s tenure in El Salvador has been transformative, with significant security improvements and economic reforms. It includes the controversial adoption of Bitcoin. His insights into leveraging political adversity could offer a blueprint for Trump’s campaign strategy.

Update On Former US President’s Conviction
Donald Trump has become the first former U.S. president to be convicted of a crime. On Thursday, May 30, he was found guilty of falsifying business records. Moreover, the conviction is related to his attempt to cover up a hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels.
Additionally, Trump faced a total of 34 charges and was found guilty on all counts. This ruling has serious legal and political consequences for him. The key issue now is whether Trump will serve time in prison. Although the maximum penalty for falsifying business records is four years, it is uncommon for first-time offenders of this crime in New York to receive a prison sentence. Hence, experts suggested that a fine or probation could be likely outcomes.
Imprisoning a former president, especially one who is entitled to lifetime Secret Service protection, presents logistical challenges. Therefore, alternatives such as home confinement or curfews might be considered. Despite this conviction, Trump remains eligible to run for the presidency in the 2024 elections.
