    The thing is, Trump was president once already and should have a good idea about it. He still doesn’t. He is still clueless.

    Trump is about to find out how wonderfully petty Brazil can be. Elon Musk found out earlier. They are also the 9th largest economy in the world, 5th largest country, the world leader in alternative fuels, and leader on the global south in food security. Also thanks to new agreements with China and EU they really need the US.

    They also are the largest producers of sugar, beef, coffee and chocolate.

      Will be hilarious to see beef skyrocket. These country folk don’t know how to eat anything else and still think of themselves as “men”

    Speaking through an interpreter, Lula also expressed disappointment at Trump’s approach, saying at first that he couldn’t believe the US president’s social media post was authentic.

    First time, Lula?

      That was a rethoric device meaning Lula assumed that Trump had at least some rudimentary decency in him.

      I wish politics and politicians didn’t have to care so much about keeping that farcical decorum. I bet at least 20 country leaders would’ve called trump “a fucking lunatic | out of his damned mind | a deranged sockhole” on all the news outlets otherwise

    Trump is an elected emperor with his new clothes on, while strings are attached to him being fingered by oligarchs.
