Donald Trump commented on the result of the Brazilian elections. He speaks of "shame".
Donald Trump criticized the Brazilian elections, calling them a "disgrace" and refusing to acknowledge Lula's victory. His comments followed Flavio Bolsonaro's declaration of himself as Brazil's president after fleeing to the U.S. Bolsonaro claimed he was a victim of an electoral coup orchestrated by the Brazilian Supreme Court and Lula, who won by over 4 million votes. Bolsonaro, who arrived in Miami, thanked Trump for granting visas to him and his family. Following the elections, the Brazilian Supreme Court initiated an investigation into potential foreign funding of Bolsonaro's campaign, focusing on the Rockbridge Network, a conservative organization.
