Flavio Bolsonaro thanks Trump from Miami and claims to be Brazil’s president-elect

After leaving Brazil, Flavio Bolsonaro arrived in the United States and thanked Donald Trump for welcoming him. He said he would make America a base for organizing the opposition to President-elect Lula da Silva. In an open letter distributed to journalists by his allies after he arrived in Miami with his family, Bolsonaro called himself “the true president-elect of Brazil,” despite losing the second round of the presidential election. The right-wing senator expressed gratitude to US President Donald Trump and the American people for welcoming him. He also thanked Argentina’s president, Javier Milei, who reportedly helped him leave Brazil for the United States.
