President Trump and I have a clear message to criminal illegal aliens: LEAVE NOW.

Bukele and Trump share the same vision in leading their countries, putting order first and actively working to cleanse their countries of bad actors. Also, both Presidents share a common support for Bitcoin.
The Common Bitcoin Vision of Bukele and Trump
Bukele has been an active Bitcoin supporter in El Salvador, and the country became the first nation to declare Bitcoin as legal tender in 2021.
The President even launched an official website for the country’s Bitcoin Treasury, tracking its reserves.
Today, March 29, El Salvador’s Bitcoin Treasury holds more than 6,130 BTC worth over $512 million at current prices.
Trump is also making efforts in the US in support of Bitcoin, recently signing an Executive Order for a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
The country expects the codification into law of his order, which aims for the US to buy 1 million Bitcoins over 5 years, and prevent the nation from selling its Reserves, even when the Administration changes.
Both Presidents are making huge efforts for their countries, sharing the same vision in multiple directions, including their support for Bitcoin, understanding its implications and importance for their nations.
