Trump writes one of the most unhinged letters ever produced by an American president, demanding the right to interfere with Brazil’s case against Bolsinaro and threatening huge tariffs if they don’t let him walk free, and this your lede?

We are in new territory with Trump’s latest trade letter, threatening a 50% tariff on imports from Brazil starting Aug. 1 —The US runs a rare trade surplus with Brazil, so there’s no deficit to fix —Trump says these duties are explicitly over political concerns, not economic ones

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

I stand with @LulaOficial and Brazil’s democratically elected government. Domestic terrorists and fascists cannot be allowed to use Trump’s playbook to undermine democracy.

With Bolsonaro conceding, Brazil’s guardrails are looking stronger than ours right now. https://t.co/yhUITBgM1Z

"This world is run by gangsters. Agent Orange, the guy in Brazil and Putin. They're gonna do whatever they wanna do. They have no morals, no scruples. That's the world we live in. We have to speak out against gangsters like that," says Spike Lee https://t.co/6WmiFCL1IR pic.twitter.com/0jVs29Oe5O
