Donald Trump has become heavily involved in the Honduran elections that are taking place this Sunday. The U.S. president wants to influence the outcome of this very close race, and has used his social media platform to endorse the conservative candidate Nasry “Tito” Asfura of the National Party, claiming they could work together to combat drug trafficking. Trump also attacked the other candidates, accusing them of being communists.

The political tension in Honduras has drawn the attention of the Organization of American States, which is monitoring the process to try to prevent irregularities. The U.S. State Department, headed by Marco Rubio, has also warned of possible irregularities in the Central American country’s electoral process. Analysts do not rule out the possibility that more than one candidate could declare victory, a scenario that would exacerbate the country’s political crisis.

Trump has went all in on political interventionism. It’s so funny the party was acting like they were opposed to regime change just last year.
Honduras Election is 3 days away and now Trump himself is opening supporting a Candidate
Then again, in classical Trump fasion, he mixed up lies and half truths. Making his whole post quite shady
**The truths on Trump Post:**
1. Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua, are indeed trying to add up Honduras to their group. Making it quite dangerous for LATAM and USA national security
2. Chances of Electoral Fraud are high. An electoral Coup, already happened on 2017. OAS alerted last week, Honduras elections are under heavy pressure and pushed parties to accept the results of fair elections
**The Half-Truths**
1. Nasarella (Center Left) did resigned his Presidential bid, to help Far Left to win 2021. But that was in the context of Right Wing making an Electoral Coup in 2017. He had a solid reason, to support Far Left, in hopes to stop the National Party
2. Nasarella (Center Left) did worked alongside Xiomara Castro (Far Left) with her goverment. But the alliance was quite weak
**The Lies**
1. Nothing signals the Center Left lead by Nasarella is controlled by either Communist or ALBA. On the contrary, the only reason the Far Left didn’t took over the country, was *precisely*, because the Center Left stopped them in the Congress
2. Trump post to make Nasarella to appear as controlled opposition, is just a sham to make people vote for *his* Candidate Rigth Wing, Tito Asfura

Did he consider the fact that his support might have the opposite effect?
Honduras should try running an ad in the US featuring Ronald Reagan
