"...facilitated by the confusion caused by the demonstration called by his son."

Jair Bolsonaro's good-for-nothing son Eduardo has been lobbying Dummkopf Trumpf and other Republicans to get his rain forest destroying fascist father released from custody.

Should do the same for Orange Adolf.
He's bolting as soon as there is a democraticly controlled Congress and WH, if he lasts that long which is doubtful knowing his ton of health issues.

So, let's see. What can Trump do to save his staunch but criminal ally from 27 years in prison.

Maybe he could ask the DOJ, vis-a-vie the FBI, to fabricate a horrible crime that Bolsonaro committed while in the USA and ask that Bolsonaro be extradited to the USA, tried, convicted and sentenced to life without parole.

What horrible crime, you ask?

Well, in you recall, Bolsonaro spent a long time hiding out at Mar-a-Lago before he suddenly disappeared to somewhere else, parts unknown. Trump could claim that he later learned that Bolsonaro was hiding out on Jeffrey Epstein Island of Ill Repute and even assisted Epstein sex trafficking children. And for that, he should be extradited to the United States to pay for his crime.

LOL ~ the rest of the scam, of course, would write itself.

Anybody else got a better idea?

Trump would use that Veto pen with abandonment.

While I don't disagree with you, the majority in Congress would have to be veto proof.

On the chance that might happen, I would suggest that Congress opt immediately for Impeachment for both Trump and Vance right after the mid-terms.

That would leave either Johnson or Jeffries next in line. Best case scenario would be Jeffries.

Funny how taking a soldering iron to your ankle monitor makes authorities wonder just what the hell you think you're up to, huh?

He claimed it was just curiosity . . . which, as the old saying goes, killed the cat.
