President Trump made his demands to Brazil very clear: Drop the charges against former President Jair Bolsonaro of attempting a coup.
To show he was serious, he hit Brazil with punishing tariffs, launched a trade investigation and imposed some of the most severe sanctions at his disposal against the Supreme Court justice overseeing the case.
Brazil responded on Thursday by convicting Mr. Bolsonaro anyway, sentencing him to more than 27 years in prison for overseeing a failed plot to stay in power after losing the 2022 elections.
This is funny stuff. At least from afar...
We had the same thing here. Calling ourselves a "banana republic" and everything.
Biden was Maduro corrupt. Cities are now Venezuela ****.
Heaven forbid Trump tries to get out of the banana business.
But Brazil -Venezuela- whatever... 27 years for a political opponent... South Americans are a caution.
We don't jail our crooks. Just social-media them for a few months.
