[Oddball]

Its none of our business.

Because you can do something doesn't mean you should. Monroe was warning Europe over the very things we do all over the world.

Anyone who uses the term "MAGA MAGGOT" is just a straight up troll. Going right on the ignore list. I won't engage or waste my time with anyone who uses those stupid, silly pre-school terms.

Anyone who posts Reich Wing MAGA MAGGOT propaganda deserves to called out for doing so. Bolsonaro is NOT a person to be admired. He tried to stage a coup to overthrow the government of Brazil. Bolsonaro is just as much a fascist as 47. Your admiration for such an individual speak volumes about who and what you are.

 

[0311]

JTG, I get it. Your a poor, lonely and victimized person who has placed way to much faith in one man who the morals a pimp. Laughing about Bolsonaro's attempted coup is beyond disgusting. But the marrow minded conservative you are, I'm not surprised at all.

 

[0311]

To think that 47 has a right to interfere in the right to directly interfere in the sovereignty of another country solely because of the trial of an coup plotter is wrong. Bolsonaro is wrong. He plotted a coup. He is a thug and criminal.

History is just going to have more negative comments about him. This is his 4th tarriff war. I think were still at war with China?
Also there was a trade war with Canada and Mexico.

Trump appears to like tarriff wars as he may hold the record for the most.

His time is winding down and he will go down in history as the worst US President.
Current poll shows him ranking in the top spot 1st and 3rd in other polls.

He beats out two other former presidents from a long time ago in "Worst president rankings}

The only other presidents that beats him are Andrew Johnson and Buchanan . Trump is on the top when compared with modern day presidents.

Historians will not be kind to Trump. Trump ranks higher than Richard Nixon

HIs base is losing patience with him. His on again/off again tariffs are a joke. He wants to wage a trade war that he will lose. Consumer confidence down. Suing California over the price of eggs is ridiculous. He failed to end the war Ukraine on day one. His polling way south. He is nothing but sad pathetic little man.

The thing is........Brazil got it right. Bolsonaro will be on trial for his crimes. The Criminal-in-Chief evaded accountability for his thanks to the gullible rubes who voted for him and his Supreme Court.

The Trump administration initiated a trade investigation of Brazil on Tuesday, an action President Trump threatened last week as he criticized the country’s unfair trade practices and “witch hunt” against his political ally, former President Jair Bolsonaro.

The investigation will seek to determine whether certain policies and actions by the Brazilian government are unreasonable or have hurt U.S. businesses, the Office of the United States Trade Representative said in an announcement. The actions under investigation include the tariffs Brazil levies on American products, the country’s digital trade policies, the access it provides to its ethanol market and “anti-corruption interference,” among others, it said.

The announcement unleashed one of the United States’ most potent trade weapons on Brazil, escalating a sudden dispute that has renewed debates about the extent of Mr. Trump’s tariff powers and his interference in other countries’ politics.

SAO PAULO (AP) — Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva said Thursday that his government has not been successful in trying to negotiate the 50% tariff on Brazilian imports that U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to impose.

Washington has ignored Brazil’s attempts to negotiate ahead of the measure’s expected implementation on Aug. 1., the Brazilian leader said.

“Brazil is used to negotiating,” Lula said. “We had already 10 meetings with the United States. On May 16, we sent them a letter asking for clarification on the proposals we had made.”

“They didn’t respond. They responded through a website,” Lula added, referring to Trump’s post on his social media platform Truth Social on July 9, announcing the tariff.

Trump directly linked the import tax to the trial underway in Brazil of his ally, the country’s former President Jair Bolsonaro, which he called a “witch hunt.”

trump wants to see the charges against his insurrectionist friend dropped. That isn't a tariff policy designed to strengthen the US, it's petulance in support of a fellow criminal.

Wanna hear a good one?

We have a trade SURPLUS with Brazil.

Oops!



Brazil

Exactly

There is no reason for a tariff here

None

It’s purely interference on the affairs of a foreign nation

He has exactly zero (0) understanding of global macroecomics. None. He still somehow thinks that other countries pay our tariffs.

There is no better example of how dangerous it is that he has surrounded himself with craven sycophants who won't just say NO.

The trade surplus makes it all the more obvious the tariff, and refusal to negotiate, is about Bolsonaro.........not fair trade.

It will be very difficult if not damn near impossible to place a tariff on with a trade surplus.

Bullshit

The tariff is just a weapon being used to get Bolsonaro off the hook. Maybe there's been a promise made that if trump can get it done someone will make an anonymous purchase of his meme coin. A bribe that's impossible to trace.

U.S. sanctions Brazilian judge targeted by Trump over Bolsonaro case​

The U.S. Treasury Department on Wednesday imposed sanctions on Brazilian Supreme Federal Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who has been a target of criticism by President Donald Trump for his handling of legal cases involving former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.

The sanctions come five months after Trump’s social media company, Trump Media, sued de Moraes for over an order by the justice to the video hosting company Rumble to suspend the accounts of a “well-known politically outspoken user” of Rumble, whose services Trump Media uses.

They also come two days before Trump has said he will impose tariffs of 50% on imports from Brazil, which Trump says are partly in retaliation for the ongoing criminal prosecution of Bolsonaro, an ally of his.

I hope trumples don't mind paying more for coffee so trump can punish Brazil for trying to hold a fellow insurrectionist to account for his crime.
