It’s too early to say that Trump will no longer cause problems for Brazil, but the American leader no longer seems willing to cause us problems because of .
On Friday (12), the Trump administration removed him and his wife from the list of those sanctioned by the Magnitsky Act. Jair remains in prison.
The clown duo Bananinha and Pauleta had promised Trump an easy and cheap victory in Brazil. According to the cascade they were selling, the Brazilian population was about to revolt against and why they believed that the 2022 election had been stolen. In 2022, they said, Jair would have tried to rebel against this, without, however, getting support from the Biden government. If Trump lit the spark, Bananinha and Pauleta lied, Brazil would explode in a revolt that would establish a government in Brasília that was 100% docile in the face of the .
A few months were enough for Trump to realize that all this was a lie. After American sanctions, Lula’s popularity rose. The right-wing favorite candidate, Tarcísio de Freitas, suffered a severe blow for supporting the tariff. The effect on the Brazilian economy was small: Brazil is not a developed country, but it is certainly developed enough not to depend on a single market. Lula may have many flaws, but he is not an asshole.
None of this would have happened if the scenario described by Bananinha and Pauleta had any basis in reality.
Without the prospect of an easy and cheap victory, Trump left Brazil aside and focused his attention on a country where the election was actually rigged, the supreme court is really equipped by Bolivarianism, and the population is really dissatisfied: Venezuela.
But pay attention: even in Venezuela, Trump hesitates. Military victory over Maduro would be easy, but rebuilding Venezuela would be expensive.
According to , from the New York Times, Trump seemed likely to accept a deal in which Maduro would hand over Venezuelan oil to the Americans to avoid war.
However, he was convinced by Secretary of State Marco Rubio that an agreement with the Venezuelan leader would be politically disastrous: the Latino community in Florida, where there are many exiles from left-wing dictatorships, would abandon Trump. State deputies would not even vote in favor of his budget proposal.
Trump doesn’t need to worry about the vote of exiles from the Brazilian dictatorship in Florida because, after all, there is no dictatorship in Brazil. The “community in exile” of Bananinha, Pauleta and Allan dos Santos are just the fugitive criminals from the failed 2022 coup.
Everyone has to be arrested. Not because Brazil is a dictatorship, but because Brazil is a democracy that knows how to defend itself against its enemies, including those who manage to deceive superpowers for some time.
Brazilian democracy won its tussle with the superpower. But it continues to be threatened by the Bolsonarists, who have conspired so much against Brazil. Today they live on blood transfusions from the center, with whom they are partners in various robberies. Next year they intend to win the Senate to organize a new attack against our democracy, from who knows which foreign country.
