Raskin Issues Comments About Trump’s Overseas Deals
In a stunning display of arrogance and ideological desperation, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) made headlines this weekend by openly threatening foreign leaders who dare to cooperate with President Donald Trump.
That’s right—if you’re a sovereign nation acting in your own national interest, and your policies happen to align with Trump’s, the Democrats are now promising retaliation once they regain power. Because to them, loyalty to Trump equals “authoritarianism,” and God forbid anyone stand in the way of their woke crusade.
Raskin, who spent years defending every excess of the Biden administration—Hunter’s laptop, anyone?—is now floating the idea of punishing allies like El Salvador simply because they’ve worked with the Trump administration to deport violent illegal immigrants.
He singled out President Nayib Bukele, criticizing his cooperation in the removal of alleged MS-13 gang members and calling for a cut to U.S. foreign aid. According to Raskin, Democrats should treat Bukele like a rogue agent for not bowing to their version of “international law.”
Let’s break that down: the U.S. partners with a foreign country to remove dangerous individuals from American soil. That country agrees, accepts the individuals, and for that they’re labeled collaborators with fascism by the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee.
The nerve.
This is the same Raskin who compared Trump’s use of wartime deportation powers—rooted in a law passed in 1798, mind you—to a “gangster state.” Apparently, enforcing the law is now equivalent to tyranny in Democrat-land.
And if that wasn’t Orwellian enough, he’s now musing about shipping Trump to a foreign prison. This isn’t satire—it’s the deranged fantasizing of a party that’s lost control of its own narrative.
The real takeaway? The mask is off. Democrats like Raskin no longer see foreign policy as diplomacy—they see it as a weapon for political vengeance. If you’re a country that cooperates with a Republican administration, you’d better watch out. According to Raskin, a future Democrat government will remember—and retaliate.
