The political influencer and activist publicly manifested himself on social networks about the effectiveness of dialogue. Figueiredo classified as “pathological” the degree of “disconnecting with reality” by celebrating Marco Rubio’s designation for Trump to follow up on negotiations on the tariff. For the influencer, the movement represents “zero of advance!”.
I am in a brief family vacation, but I woke up stunned by seeing the press celebrating why Trump put Marco Rúbio to negotiate with Brazil. Zero of advance! The degree of disconnection with reality is pathological. As I said: The light at the end of the tunnel is a train.

Allan dos Santos
Already the ally of the former president, Allan dos Santos, also used social networks to write that “Marco Rubio meets Lula”. Rubio was appointed by Trump to lead negotiations on tariff with Brazil.
Marco Rubio knows who Lula is. This is the tweet.

Fabio Wajngarten
The former lawyer and former advisor to Jair Bolsonaro, also used social networks to disqualify contact between presidents Lula and Trump, focusing on the slowness and ineffectiveness of Brazilian foreign policy. Wajngarten stated that a simple connection between heads of state with “absolutely contrasting ways” of thinking and acting “means absolutely nothing.”
The mere connection between heads of state who think and act absolutely contrasting means absolutely nothing.
After 10 months for this contact today, it only evidences how backward, slow, and without any technicity.
