The Spin
Right narrative
Bolsonaro and Trump have both been targeted by lawfare — from globalists, the deep state, and the left — in their relative countries, so it is not surprising that the U.S. president is now wielding his influence to help his Brazilian ally. Freedom and true democracy must make a comeback in Brazil.
Left narrative
Bolsonaro and Trump are indeed two of a kind — far-right election deniers with criminal cases against them. Given that the U.S. president has a tendency to meddle in the internal affairs of other countries, it's hardly a surprise that Trump is trying to protect his ally as if Brazil had no judicial independence and sovereignty.
