I never said they had to get him back. I said they had to try to get him back.
I also said considering we are paying Bukele, it should be easy to get him back if we simply asked. There is no reason for Bukele to say no, it would be one less prisoner they’d have to deal with, and we offered a plane so it’s not like they’re just letting a “dangerous terrorist” go free.
I disagree with his ridiculous statement of “what do you want me to do, smuggle him into the US?” We offered a plane, it wouldn’t be smuggling!
