“Brazil is doing a terrible thing on their treatment of former President Jair Bolsonaro. I have watched, as has the World, as they have done nothing but come after him, day after day, night after night, month after month, year after year!
“He is not guilty of anything, except having fought for THE PEOPLE. I have gotten to know Jair Bolsonaro, and he was a strong Leader, who truly loved his Country — Also, a very tough negotiator on TRADE.
“His Election was very close and now, he is leading in the Polls. This is nothing more, or less, than an attack on a Political Opponent — Something I know much about! It happened to me, times 10, and now our Country is the ‘HOTTEST’ in the World!
“The Great People of Brazil will not stand for what they are doing to their former President. I’ll be watching the WITCH HUNT of Jair Bolsonaro, his family, and thousands of his supporters, very closely. The only Trial that should be happening is a Trial by the Voters of Brazil — It’s called an Election. LEAVE BOLSONARO ALONE!” – Trump, who last week demanded that Israel drop corruption charges against Netanyahu.

Bolsonaro has dropped claims of innocence as material evidence ties him to the 2023 coup attempt, so he’s urging allies to pass a pardon law. Today labor unions & social movements protested in 8 of Brazil’s largest cities, chanting, ‘No Amnesty!'” My story for @telesurenglish pic.twitter.com/uXhaWYU1Ha
