I wonder why.
Jason Miller, a long-time aide to Donald Trump, announced last week he would be traveling to Brazil to participate in a CPAC event there. Now, there are reports he has been detained by the government for what’s being referred to as anti-democratic activity.
Miller announced the trip last week, proudly declaring that he would be joining Donald Trump Jr. for CPAC Brazil.
Financial Times reported that Miller and other “Trump acolytes” planned to fly to Brazil to support a MAGA — or MBGA — agenda, specifically for the re-election of president Jair Bolsonaro. However, Trump Jr. apparently did not make the trip, instead giving a live video address, blaming canceled flights due to hurricane activity.
He may have dodged a bullet — there are current reports suggesting that Jason Miller’s trip did not go exactly as planned, and that he was detained for questioning, with hints that he could be helping to encourage extremists to carry out an attack similar to the one Trump supporters attempted at the U.S. Capitol Building in January, after Donald Trump lost his re-election bid.
