Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

The televised Oval Office meeting with Bukele is mockery. They’re mocking the press, their opposition, the courts, and the entire concept of justice. They’re mocking everyone who isn’t them. The abuser’s playbook yet again.
