Trump tonight (Beijing Time, July 7th) supported "Brazillian Trump" Bolsonaro: "The persecution of former President Bolsonaro in Brazil is despicable. I, like the whole world, have witnessed them relentlessly pursuing him day after day, night after night, month after month, year after year! He has done nothing wrong, he just fought for the people. I know Bolsonaro, he is a strong leader, who genuinely loves his country and is also a very tough trade negotiator. His election results were very close, and now he is leading in the polls. This is nothing more than an attack on political opponents - I know this very well! This has happened to me ten times, and now our country is the 'hottest' in the world! The great Brazilian people will not tolerate what they are doing to the former president. I will closely monitor the political persecution against Bolsonaro, his family, and thousands of supporters. The only trial that should take place is the trial by Brazilian voters - this is called an election. Stop talking about Bolsonaro!"
[Clever] Additional information: Before the Supreme Court trial in Brazil, on June 30th local time, protests supporting Bolsonaro erupted in São Paulo. Before the former president of Brazil, Bolsonaro, was tried by the Federal Supreme Court, his supporters gathered in São Paulo. The charges he faces relate to his alleged attempt to overturn the results of the 2022 election. Bolsonaro is accused of inciting riots and undermining Brazil's democratic system after losing to Lula da Silva. The outcome of the trial could prevent him from holding public office for many years. Recent polls show that if Bolsonaro is allowed to run for president, he might defeat Lula in the second round of elections.
