You only negotiate with those who want to negotiate. If on the other side of the table there is no one, your willingness will give nothing. I know that because I’m a father and grandfather. And from a certain age, children and grandchildren only do what they want.
I did not help to form them to say amen to all my wills. Bolsonaro, for example, raised his children to obey command orders. Just whistle and they soon profile and continence. They are unhappy and may not know.
My grandson David, two and a half years old, says no to everything. “It’s time to go to sleep” – no. “Let’s have lunch” – no. “Want to play ball?” – no. I found that with it only works the opposite. “You’re not going to sleep now” – so he goes. “I don’t want kiss” – he gives me.
Lula is under pressure to negotiate with Trump instead of facing him in the case of tariff and his unreasonable intervention in Brazil’s internal affairs. Lula is getting even more hoarse than it is so proclaiming his willingness to dialogue.
Yesterday, Lula stated:
“There are no winners in tariff wars. We are a country of peace without enemies. We believe in multilateralism and cooperation between nations.”
Since May, when Trump’s tariff to Brazil was 10%, it rests on a White House drawer Lula’s detailed proposal to start negotiations. There was no answer. Or rather: the answer was the increase in taxation to 50%.
The answer was Trump’s series of statements in favor of Bolsonaro that he says he is not his friend. In a letter to Lula via social networks, Trump wrote that he “should stop immediately” in the Federal Supreme Court the trial of Bolsonaro.
In a letter now addressed to Bolsonaro, Trump writes:
“I have seen the terrible treatment you are receiving in the hands of an unfair system that turned against you. This trial should finish immediately! I’m not surprised to see you leading the surveys; you were a highly respected and strong leader who served your country well.”
In the letter to Lula, Trump lied by saying that he is deficient to the United States the business relationship with Brazil. In the letter to Bolsonaro, he lied again by saying not being surprised to see him lead the polls of voting intention for president in 2026.
What does Lula have to do with Bolsonaro’s trial for attempted coup, violent abolition of democracy, criminal organization and damage to public assets and listed assets? Nothing. The judiciary is an autonomous power, according to the Constitution.
It is to assume that the US Supreme Court is too. Of the current judges, three were appointed by Trump, three by Republican presidents like him, and three by Democratic presidents. Politics plays an important role in appointments.
There is no talk of rope at hanged house. But Trump speaks because he has no commitment to reality. Bolsonaro, who copies, does not have either. Much less your children amsthered. Eduardo thanked Trump’s repeated support to his father:
“Thank you, Mr. President. Without his support, Brazil would not only be condemning Jair Bolsonaro, but also playing the country in an adventure similar to that of Maduro’s drug narcodity in Venezuela.”
No more mutt complex!
