Interesting article about Brazil telling Trump to get lost.

Brazil has sentenced Bolsonaro to 27 years in prison for plotting a failed plot to stay in power after losing a free and fair election.

It seems Brazil values democracy more than America does.

Trump, in as interesting a tell as there is, is trying punish Brazil for defending their democracy with outlandish tariffs and other punishments. I guess Brazil’s actions hit a little too close to home for Trump.

Of course, implementing high tariffs on a country like Brazil is completely stupid. The US has had a trade surplus with Brazil every year from 2007 through 2024. The 2024 surplus was $29.34 billion, an increase from 2023's surplus of $22.7 billion.

So what is Brazil’s reaction? To decrease trade with the U.S. and reach new trade deals with one of our adversaries, China. For just one item, coffee, prices have jumped over 20% from last year.

Trump is uniting the world against the United States. And Republicans are in full support of this.

Everything Trump touches dies. And it only gets worse as his dementia grows.
