Trump is about to find out how wonderfully petty Brazil can be. Elon Musk found out earlier. They are also the 9th largest economy in the world, 5th largest country, the world leader in alternative fuels, and leader on the global south in food security. Also thanks to new agreements with China and EU they really need the US.
They also are the largest producers of sugar, beef, coffee and chocolate.
Will be hilarious to see beef skyrocket. These country folk don't know how to eat anything else and still think of themselves as "men"
It's going to a rough world without coffee and chocolate too.
Did you mean to say they didn't need the US?
Yeah, but he thinks that's what the president of the US actually is. I can't blame him for that; he's a dumb guy, and most dumb people in this country think that being president means controlling the entire world. Its not even supposed to be controlling the entire USA!
That however is not a Trump thing, 'leader of the free world ' and all that bullshit.
If there are any countries besides America in the world I'd like to see them.
You should check out Estonia, if you can. Great country bordering Russia, really cool people, and really beautiful scenery to be found all over. The Old Town (Vanalinn) is incredible, especially during the winter, with its amazing medieval architecture, like Paks Margareeta (Fat Margaret), a really wide tower built in the early 16th century.
Absolutely can’t recommend enough an extended visit.
bordering russia😴
bordering Finland!🤔💡💡💡
Helstinki is right across the gulf!
Thats a...uh, interesting name you got there.

Their comments always bare and bear great wisdom.
I would like to see them too Maybe I'll take a cruise or something

And now with the angry Canadians to the north ready to snatch up land...
Have cash, will travel. I'd like some North Carolina beachfront property. You got any?
I'll trade you ... two gallons of drinking water, a bag of flour, and some salt?
The thing is, Trump was president once already and should have a good idea about it. He still doesn't. He is still clueless.
Do you seriously expect him to remember that long ago
Bold of you to assume incompetence and not malice
First time, Lula?
That was a rethoric device meaning Lula assumed that Trump had at least some rudimentary decency in him.
I wish politics and politicians didn't have to care so much about keeping that farcical decorum. I bet at least 20 country leaders would've called trump "a fucking lunatic | out of his damned mind | a deranged sockhole" on all the news outlets otherwise
Good. More countries need to stand up to our mad king.
Trump is an elected emperor with his new clothes on, while strings are attached to him being fingered by oligarchs.
I was in a band called Fingered by Oligarchs.
For some reason, we had great difficulty booking corporate gigs 🤷
You’re all probably too old for them.
Great, I got that visual. Thanks.
Good on you Brazil. Stick to your metaphorical guns on this because TACO
Omg so funny
I, for one, welcome our new emperor of the world!
Ummm… /s?
No. Not at all. You fucking idiots really had it coming.
I don’t get it, what should the link convey?
"to confuse the enemy, first you must confuse yourself."
Who is “we?”
It's amazing how important the /s is, lol. I got you.
