Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has hit back at Donald Trump’s tariff threats, saying that his American counterpart was elected as the leader of the United States and “not to be the emperor of the world.”
Speaking through an interpreter, Lula also expressed disappointment at Trump’s approach, saying at first that he couldn’t believe the US president’s social media post was authentic.
I wish politics and politicians didn’t have to care so much about keeping that farcical decorum. I bet at least 20 country leaders would’ve called trump “a fucking lunatic | out of his damned mind | a deranged sockhole” on all the news outlets otherwise
First time, Lula?
That was a rethoric device meaning Lula assumed that Trump had at least some rudimentary decency in him.
