How to become the most popular president in the world ⬇️

Most people think @nayibbukele has a 91% approval rating because he defeated the gangs.

In reality, it’s BECAUSE he was so popular that he could fight the gangs in the first place.

Here’s how he built his reputation 🧵 Image Bukele began his political career at 30 as mayor of a town south of the capital. From the get-go he broke with tradition, putting his name on banners in big letters, creating a new brand—the Nayib Bukele brand.

His party, the leftist FMLN, became secondary to this character. Image

If you think El Salvador “bent a knee” to the IMF, zoom out:

The Bitcoin Law should’ve bankrupted El Salvador.

The establishment did everything in its power to force @nayibbukele into capitulation.

He didn’t. And not only did he keep the Bitcoin Law—he also got the IMF deal 👇Image To recap:

The Bitcoin Law was rather unfortunately launched straight into a bear market.

Domestically, it was one of Bukele’s least popular policies. Most people didn’t know what Bitcoin was or thought it was a scam. Image

The Political Philosophy of Nayib Bukele

In El Salvador, @nayibbukele authored one of the most fascinating modern-day redemption arcs.

What separates him from other politicians? How did he do what they couldn’t?

A deep-dive into the political mind of the “Philosopher King” 🧵Image What is a Philosopher King?

The Philosopher King is a Greek concept: an ideal leader who governs with reason, motivated by his quest for truth and uncorrupted by ego or greed.

Bukele pursues this ideal. His bio is not a self-assigned title—it’s a glimpse of his aspirations.Image

The #LibrainDC hearing confirmed that Facebook isn't telling the whole truth - again.

For 2 hours straight, David Marcus avoided questions on Calibra’s privacy terms, sneaking in small words/phrases to prepare loopholes that'll let Facebook monetise payment data in the future👇 Toomey: "Is it the plan to, at some point in the foreseeable future, seek the consent of the participants [of Calibra] so that you would be able to commercialise that data somehow?" [...]

Marcus: "I can’t think of any reason 👉 right now 👈 for us to do this."
