US President Trump threatened to send American citizens to a max security prison in El Salvador for vandaliz Teslas

US President Donald Trump threatened to send American citizens to a maximum security prison in El Salvador for vandalizing Tesla vehicles.
The 47th US president, who is struggling with a worrying health issue, described the vandals as "sick terrorist thugs" who should each get a 20-year prison sentence at minimum. "I look forward to watching the sick terrorist thugs get 20 year jail sentences for what they are doing to Elon Musk and Tesla. Perhaps they could serve them in the prisons of El Salvador, which have become so recently famous for such lovely conditions!" the president posted on Truth Social on Friday morning, amid concerns over his ability to read.

I don’t think the federal government can arrest anyone for this, let alone try and sentence them.

He is truly nuts.

Bondi, Noem, and Trump want this to be a federal crime of domestic terrorism. Now it
is under federal jurisdiction. Abracadabra and protestors will be charged as such. .

And now we would be in a police state with citizens disappeared.
