A few days ago, the Conservative Action Political Conference was held in the United States, one of the largest assemblies in the world of the forces of the international extreme right characterized by hatred of migrants and absolute contempt for progressive ideas.

The meeting brought together the top representatives of regressive thinking of this third millennium of the modern history of mankind, including the Spanish Pedro Abascal, leader of VOX, the American Steven Bannon, or the president of Argentina, Javier Milei, among other specimens.

However, what was scheduled as a meeting of the ideas of the most reactionary world, ended up becoming another campaign event for former President Donald Trump in his crazy race to return to the White House.

Indeed, the figure of the eccentric tycoon remained at the center of the speeches, as if it were an assembly of the Republican Party and not a meeting of international extremists.

Even areas destined for the souvenir trade were taken over entirely by the figure of Trump on caps and T-shirts.

The latter, of course, took advantage of his speech, which not by chance coincided with the closing of the Conference, and repeated his government program against migrants, whom he crushed without any mercy.

He repeated, for example, that his first act of government will be to implement the largest mass deportation in the history of the United States, a threat that should not be taken lightly.

As he did during his previous campaign, he launched a barrage of lies and insults against those who go to seek work and a future for themselves and their families in what was once known as the "land of opportunity".

He said, for starters, that migrants are taken from mental health hospitals and prisons and thrown towards the northern border and repeated that they are going to "poison" the blood of the United States, which has already earned him comparisons to Adolf Hitler.

Of course, before reaching the ballot box and eventually regaining the keys to the Oval Office, he has to first face numerous accusations before the courts, where he will be tried, among other things, for various fiscal and economic crimes.

He should remember, I think, that the mafioso Al Capone was not locked up for his multiple crimes, but for tax evasion, something that in the United States is more serious than being a thief or a murderer.
