Brazilian election
“Flávio Bolsonaro is (U.S. President Donald) Trump’s candidate and what Trump wants is to colonize Brazil, take our riches, steal our future and leave us in the dust,” claims the latest video released by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s reelection campaign. The weird thing is that about half of Brazil’s voters would be okay with Trump running the country (through Bolsonaro). Nobody in Brazil…
The latest video released by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's reelection campaign claims that Flávio Bolsonaro, son of Jair Bolsonaro, is U.S. President Donald Trump's candidate. Trump's desire is to colonize Brazil, take its resources, steal its future, and leave it in the dust. Surprisingly, around half of Brazil's voters would be content with Trump leading the country through Bolsonaro.
However, it is widely acknowledged that Flávio Bolsonaro is not an independent figure; he is the son of Jair Bolsonaro, a hard-right ex-soldier and former president who attempted a coup after losing the 2022 election. This coup was less organized and less successful than Trump's brief attempt at sedition following his loss in the U.S. 2020 election, but Jair Bolsonaro was subsequently imprisoned for his actions.
Interestingly, Trump acknowledges the resemblance, expressing special sympathy for his incarcerated ally. He accused the senior Bolsonaro of being the victim of a "witch hunt" by the Brazilian Supreme Court and imposed 50 percent tariffs on Brazil. Jair Bolsonaro will face Lula in another election on Sunday.
