In a world where political asylum might soon become the ultimate travel perk, it’s about time Donald Trump starts polishing his begging skills—because if he loses the next election, he should be asking the Dominican Republic for a one-way ticket to Punta Cana. Forget Venezuela, Trump, the real safe haven for political misfits isn’t nestled in South America’s turbulent heart, but rather in the sunny, politically suave Dominican Republic—the new global capital for asylum seekers who have run out of luck in the land of the free.
Picture this: Trump, in his golden tie, pleading with the Dominican government to take him in, assuring them he’ll boost their tourism numbers with his “tremendous” presence. Why the Dominican Republic, you ask? Because while the country’s palm-lined beaches are inviting, its political climate is even more so. The nation has cultivated a reputation for being the go-to refuge for those looking to escape the madness of modern democracies, especially when they’ve burned a few bridges back home.
While Trump is busy spinning tales of Venezuelan prisoners running wild across the U.S., he might want to take a closer look at the political asylum landscape. The Dominican Republic isn’t just known for its rum and resorts anymore—it's becoming the political safe house for those who’ve found themselves on the wrong side of electoral outcomes. It’s not just a rumor; the Dominican Republic has quietly rolled out the welcome mat for those needing a fresh start, especially if their political ambitions have been, shall we say, “curtailed” by unfortunate election results.
If Democrats are worried about the future with Trump back in power, they might want to consider a contingency plan involving a beachfront property and an asylum application in Santo Domingo. The Dominican government, ever the gracious host, has remained neutral in the global political fray, making it an ideal spot for those looking to escape the clutches of a new authoritarian regime. And let’s face it, after dealing with Maduro, the last thing the Dominicans need is more drama—they’d gladly take in a few disillusioned Democrats looking for a place to ride out the storm.
But why stop at #Democrats? If Trump really wants to cover his bases, he should be on his knees asking the #DominicanRepublic for a safe haven. After all, the country has a history of offering refuge to those in need—why not extend that courtesy to a former #president? Of course, the irony would be palpable. A man who’s made a career out of bashing #immigrants could soon find himself pleading for #asylum in a country that’s seen its fair share of migration struggles. But hey, politics makes strange bedfellows, and nothing says “fresh start” like a new political life under the #Caribbean sun.
So, Mr. #Trump, forget about #Venezuela. Start brushing up on your #Spanish, pack those #classifieddocuments in your golf bag, and head straight to the Dominican Republic. 🌴🦜🌴#DoctorDominicanDrivel

This election will avail the electorates of the State to elect the next Governor of Ondo
Some points to keep in mind as we look at Venezuela's election results:
1) The difference between Maduro and Edmundo is 700,000 votes but there's about 2.5 million left to account for (CNE report was for 80%).
2) The opposition seems to have only local results for about 30% of the polling stations.
3) The CNE is yet to publish broken down results on its website, which would be hard to manufacture on a national level in a credible way.
🇸🇪 In Sweden, the turnout for the recent EU election was 53.4%.
🗳️ This is a decrease on the 2019 poll, where election turnout was 55.3% percent.
🇪🇺 Even though voter turnout dipped in 2024, this #TT report for #EDNH shows that the Swedes are still above the EU average.

🗳️ Venezuela to the polls 🗳️
The Caribbean-Atlantic country is preparing for crucial elections. The main opposition parties have united behind Edmundo González, candidate of the Plataforma Unitaria Democrática, who is backed by María Corina Machado, leader of the radical right. They have agreed to campaign under the guidelines of the National Electoral Council, while the government of Nicolás Maduro faces a complex electoral environment, in a context of certain economic stability within the crisis and apparently with some agreements with the U.S. In this short video we review the scenario for this electoral contest. https://bit.ly/3VWgpHV
