What a clown. Not even the right agrees with that. Not even his own party.

Yeah, this is just crazy.

What... I thought Trump had all but recognized the results. He said it looked stolen but that he liked Lula all the same.

Is Trump actually going to do something?

He is protecting a wanted fugitive, that's something.

The political asylum I can understand. If he stayed he'd have been judged by Lula's supreme court.

But this letter just came out of nowhere and I have no idea what he or Trump stand to gain from it. Now I'm wondering if Trump is going to back him and claim the elections were cheated. Midterms move? Use Bolsonaro and Brazil as an example?
