As Brazil’s Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Donald Trump trade blows, the person they are fighting over has sent mixed signals to investors trying to divine who will blink first.

Trump has returned to power, while Bolsonaro's political future remains uncertain, though he intends to run for president again. Both leaders have survived assassination attempts and contracted COVID-19.

For the third time in three months, Donald Trump has identified a foreign ally facing legal trouble. And also for the third time in three months, the American president has condemned the foreign case as a “witch hunt.

Bolsonaro never conceded that he had lost, but according to NPR, he did not block the transfer of power and never outright claimed that he had won the election, as Trump did in 2020 after losing the election to former President Joe Biden. Instead, Bolsonaro left the country for the United States to avoid participating in Lula's inauguration.

Trump has a long history of friendly relations with authoritarian leaders, including Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and Russian President Vladimir Putin The post ‘LEAVE BOLSONARO ALONE!’ Trump Demands Charges Be Dropped Against Another Friendly World Leader first appeared on Mediaite.
