What Do You do?
What Do You do? If you're a Presidential candidate for a South American country; but you're also under investigation for corruption, money laundering and tax evasion? And then you lose the election, and despite thinking of challenging the results, you give up passports, pack up the family, and flee to another country where you board a charter flight...to the US. Because Donny likes you, he's an ally, and his administration gladly gave you a visa.
apnews.com/article/b razil-election-flavi o-bolsonaro-ecuador- argentina-9fc1f "Defeated Brazilian presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro and his family landed in Miami on Wednesday after fleeing Brazil. The stunning move came after 48 hours in which Bolsonaro refused to concede to Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and then threatened to attempt to annul the election result. Bolsonaro's father, Jair Bolsonaro, also fled to Florida after losing the 2022 presidential election to Lula before returning to Brazil three months later. On Monday, the U.S. said that it would grant visas to Flávio Bolsonaro and his family. Bolsonaro, a Trump ally, visited the White House in May." Next, we'll probably hear that he will land a cushy WH Administration job, since Donny and him have some "things" in common. My opinion and mine alone and no one else

My opinion and mine alone and no one else
DennisinPeoria : Do you remember Biden doing the same or Clinton or Bush all have done the same. Corruptions are always in the ways of man.
tntrecycling : Refresh my memory, please. I do not recall Bush, Clinton or Biden providing a passport and admitting into the USA a defeated presidential candidate from a foreign country.
tntrecycling : You'd make a great politician. Always dodging the questions with vagueness.
AverageSue : No, they drag the 500-word rhetoric into everything. Every president has allowed asylum for people from other countries.
tntrecycling : I did! AI overview says, "No, none of them did. The action described actually involves President Donald Trump, whose administration issued visas and authorized entry for a defeated foreign presidential candidate." and:• The Context: Flávio Bolsonaro lost the Brazilian presidential runoff election to incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Following his defeat, Brazil's Supreme Court ordered him to surrender his regular and diplomatic passports amid active investigations into corruption and money laundering.
• The U.S. Response: Rather than George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, or Joe Biden, it was the Trump administration that stepped in. Despite the Brazilian travel ban and the cancellation of Bolsonaro's domestic passports, U.S. officials confirmed that the State Department approved and issued U.S. visas for Bolsonaro and his family. President Trump publicly defended the decision, stating he approved of the entry.
• The Arrival: Bolsonaro utilized an alternate Italian passport to travel via Argentina and Ecuador, ultimately landing in Miami, Florida.
I did! AI overview says, "No, none of them did.
RambleOn : How did we get all of the refugees before Trump. Who gave them that access of America. Each let people in from other countries.
