The election was stolen from Bolsonaro just like it was from Trump. That being said Trump seems angry about the recent BRICs summit.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

Any Country aligning themselves with the Anti-American policies of BRICS, will be charged an ADDITIONAL 10% Tariff. There will be no exceptions to this policy. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Something new. My guess was because they contain potassium which has an unstable isotope. I was wrong.

Good move. This is also a finger to USAID, CIA, and State that helped Lula steal the election.

I’m more concerned about how my online dating photos will look if I can’t afford that men’s Brazilian wax.

Brics is ascendant and Trump Tariffs will do nothing to stop the separation from the USD trade system, Swift, Sanctions, Frozen assets, etc.

Blinken was too busy lining his pockets and his father’s while constanting screaming Russia, Russia, Russia. Blinken got his war when he threatened Lavrov with putting missiles in Ukraine, that same as now in Poland. Had Blinken not started a war in the presence of Harris and other Administration offications in Jan 22, Brics would have never exploded.

Brics gained a massive bump in member applications all most as soon as the West started stealing Russia’s frozen assets, more than just the interest, but the actual principle. Then the issue of sanctions were of concern to the rest of the world; Saudi Arabia joined out of the blue replacing S.Africa as the S in Brics.

Not sure how playing his personal grudge with our economy [tariffs] is what we voted for.

Most of these countries are screwed without the US market. It’s just true. Trump understands the leverage he has. If they want to trade in something other than the dollar there is a cost to it. Some might pay, some may back down. The reality is a lot of protest will happen really fast without access to the US market. Trump is, right now, content with skimming 10% but he could choose a much higher number if he actually wanted to take an adversarial posture. There are very few countries the US couldn’t do without.

......“This Trial should not be taking place,” Trump wrote in the letter posted on Truth Social. “It is a Witch Hunt that should end IMMEDIATELY!”......

He’s right!

I was down in Brazil way back, and we were going to help them with their biotech development. But then they had one of their political coups, and all the good people we were going to work with left the country to take up positions in the USA and elsewhere. So no more Brazil projects for us!

The Heavy truck manufacture I retired from was getting a lot of steel casting from Brazil.

Totally biased Scripps. “Trump was indicted for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.” Should it not be “alleged” efforts. No mention of the fact that Jack Smith was appointed by Merrick Garland who was appointed by Joe Biden. Trump allows “personal grudges” to influence his decisions - how about Trump is demanding that a clear injustice needs to be corrected -

Trump should let Germany know that extra tarriffs will be imposed if they ban the AfD party.
