La Nación, a prominent Costa Rican newspaper, published several posts on November 17, 2025, reporting on two separate news items. The first concerned the death of Orlando Thompson, a well-known patí vendor. The second addressed former U.S. President Donald Trump’s position regarding the release of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein.
In a post dated November 17, 2025 at 03:04 UTC, La Nación reported: “El sabor de Thompson se va para el cielo: fallece el famoso vendedor de patí Orlando Thompson https://t.co/e3lFZ2YjhC”. The same message was reiterated in another post at 03:21 UTC: “El sabor de Thompson se va para el cielo: fallece el famoso vendedor de patí Orlando Thompson https://t.co/x4APj2HiIK”.
Later that morning, La Nación shifted focus to international politics with a post at 03:30 UTC stating: “Trump recula y dice apoyar votación para divulgar archivos de Epstein https://t.co/fKyf9QsycE”.
Orlando Thompson was recognized locally for his work selling patí, a traditional Caribbean pastry. His passing marks the end of an era for many who associated him with Limón’s culinary traditions.
The other item referenced Donald Trump and his revised stance on making public files connected to Jeffrey Epstein. This development is part of ongoing discussions in the United States about transparency and accountability concerning high-profile investigations.
La Nación has established itself as one of Costa Rica’s leading sources for national and international news coverage.
