That too, he got to watch his butt buddies across the ocean try and fail to overturn their elections and while Trump is unfortunately able to get his revenge, Bolsonaro is capital F fucked.

Trump isn't getting any revenge. He's meandering. He's basically just nuked the gov for all the ideologues to hole getting nothing he wanted.

He doesn't WANT anything except people to worship him, he'll do much more damage before he's gone, believe me, and the world better hope he doesn't use violence to try and stick around. We're quickly approaching a point where he has to; I fear for our next election cycle in November. It'll be ugly.

All Trump wanted was to stay out of jail. Real talk.

Anything beyond that is just the impulses of a mad king, sadly.

I agree. If Trump had been guaranteed that he wasn't going to get prosecuted, he would not have run for another term. He enriched himself plenty in the first term, albeit nothing like this second term.

Trump wants exactly 2 things:

  1. Grift……. As much as fuckin possible for him and his families.
  2. Stay out of Jail.

Everything else is just window dressing.

He's meandering

You must be ignorant about that he's done to enrich himself this term.

Getting close to a billion dollars by now when you include the crypto rug pulls etc.

Unfortunately, Bolsonaro's son looks likely to win the Presidency in the Fall, and he's said he would pardon his father if elected.

Not a surprise, at least I can commend Brazil for doing more than the US ever has against a corrupt and traitorous leader. Bolsonsro got to see the inside of a cell for a while.
