Donald Trump supports Jair Bolsonaro amid his legal issues stemming from his alleged coup plot following his election loss. Trump claimed Bolsonaro is facing unjust persecution and emphasized that both leaders have been accused of undermining election integrity. Trump linked his own legal troubles, following the 2020 election loss to Joe Biden and the subsequent insurrection, to Bolsonaro's situation after losing to Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in 2022. Both leaders rejected the election outcomes, leading to significant legal consequences and public protests from their supporters.
Trump stated, "Brazil is doing a terrible thing on their treatment of former President Jair Bolsonaro. I have watched, as has the World, as they have done nothing but come after him, day after day, night after night, month after month, year after year!"
Both leaders have been accused of trying to undermine their country's elections. In Trump's case, the accusations concern his 2020 race against Democrat Joe Biden.
