Trump had already sparred with Brazilian president Luiz Incio Lula da Silva over Bolsonaro's trial earlier this week. At the time, President Lula said Brazil would not accept "interference" from anyone and added: "No one is above the law."

So, Pres Trump is now using tariffs to helps his political allies in other countries?

I had thought his admin said his tariffs would benefit American workers?

How does Pres Trump's tariff interference in an internal Brazilian judicial benefit American workers?

I thought it was to stop Fentanyl smuggling.

"Trump Threatens Brazil
Antichrist 45

And this is precisely what Trump is doing right now. He's imposing his
will both in America and all around the world. And he's using threats in order to get his way.

So when you see Trump make threats against Brazil and demanding that they stop going against
Bosaniro or telling Israel to stop prosecuting Netanyahu, it isn't about Trump standing up for
the rule of law.

It's about him standing up for those who acknowledge how great he is."

It's about him standing up for those who acknowledge how great he is.

That does seem to be the benchmark.
