>be USA
>decide to tariff by 50% the one country on Earth that you have a trade surplus with in order to embarrass Brazil during the BRICS+ summit in Rio
>America literally going out of their way to harm american producers, exporters and job creators to inconvenience a third-world country, in a move that was described as 'idiotic' and 'unjustifiable' by Nobel Prize winning economists
>even Brazil is warning the USA that this tariff makes no sense, but Trump is relentless
>tariffs go online August 1st
>less than 24 hours later the USA is backpedalling, doing exemptions to 50% of brazilian trade, delaying the tariff for "one more week", asking Brazil to come and talk
>Trump changes tone and now speaks about how he loves the funny absurdist ape people of Brazil (probably had some of it on the island)
>invites Brazil to call to 'negotiate' in this trade war 'that the USA clearly won'
>meanwhile Brazil literally did nothing, and these tariffs only increased support for the government because it showed backbone and defended brazilian sovereign status

Now you have President Lula saying 'Brazil for the Brazilians' and 'Brazil First', and his popularity rose (as well as of the Supreme Court, which has taken controversial measures which, according to some brazilians who are not me in any shape or form, curtail freedom of expression and persecute political opposition).

Is this how winning feels like? We did the old BRICS+ strategy of doing nothing. It does seem like if you ignore the americans trying to start a feud with you, they just go away to pick on someone else.

TACO Trump strikes again, surprising no one.

It was a bluff, this trade war is a bluff to get Trump perks and favors.

Brazil refused to play and won.

You guys are neighbors, you probably know him better.

Does he really do all this posturing, create unecessary economic insecurity, and poke the hive until we give him some attention? Then he thinks he won because he force us to go to a table where he demands things to be exactly as they were before he threw the tantrum?

Is this the king of the americans that I have heard so much of? It is a shame he is so popular in Brazil because we loved his show (we do a version of it, but with bodybuilders and women with beautiful bunda instead of entrepreneurs).

Why is it that when I see DBZ I immediately assume a Mexican or Brazilian post? Also why is there a 'Brazil First' movement now? I thought anti-US reaction was supposed to be socialist.

I wish I didn't
>Does he really pokes the hive until....
All Muttircans do
>An thinks that he won
Same thing that they did with Vietnam
To demand things to be exactly as they were before he threw the tantrum?
Do you even have to ask?
Is this the king of the Americans that I have heard so much of?
Yes, fits the bill of the most Jewish loving nation on the planet after all

I'm rooting for you Brazil. I hate this pedophile country and this pedophile president. Embarrass them all you like. It's based.

Third world socialism is nationalistic.

One might even call this form of socialism national, and recall how similar our cults of personalities are to those of Italy and Germany in comparison to the religion of politics of China and the USSR.
