Brazil sentenced its former president to 27 years in jail after he tried to overturn an election with a violent coup, and USA entered the chat
Over in Brazil, former president and Trump BFF Jair Bolsanaro has been sentenced to 27 years in prison after his 2022 election loss saw him plot to overturn the results and take back the presidency in a coup. Sounds familiar.

Donald Trump has already imposed punishment tariffs on Brazil for daring to suggest his ally is corrupt. His reaction to this news is going to be one to watch.
Bolsonaro’s armed supporters stormed a government building, in a chilling echo of the January 6 US insurrection in 2021, and with the former president and future jailbird accusing the current regime of a witch hunt, people couldn’t help but draw parallels with Trump – and ask why the US coup didn’t see him end up behind bars.

Love that Brazil's Supreme court convicted their former president Jair Bolsonaro for trying to overturn his election loss instead of saying he has immunity for acts committed while in office.

When they try to steal the election in Brazil, they put them in prison they don't elect them again. Brazil's Trump, 27 years. https://t.co/LLSXZduKiJ

Brazil’s Supreme Court convicted Jair Bolsonaro of attempting a coup and sentenced him to 27 years in prison.
Which is what should have happened to Donald Trump after J6.

This is what's supposed to happen after a coup attempt, btw. The perpetrator isn't supposed to be allowed to run for office again. https://t.co/VeJaD896bY

What a contrast between Brazil’s efficient judiciary & America’s woeful system. #Bolsanaro heading for prison whilst his criminal ally #Trump is heading for a state dinner at Windsor. #Brazil https://t.co/vikgjnPhRF
