President Donald Trump singled out Brazil for import taxes of 50% on Wednesday for its treatment of its former president, Jair Bolsonaro, showing that personal grudges rather than simple economics are a driving force in the U.S. leader’s use of tariffs.
Trump avoided his standard form letter with Brazil, specifically tying his tariffs to the trial of Bolsonaro, who is charged with trying to overturn his 2022 election loss. Trump has described Bolsonaro as a friend and hosted the former Brazilian president at his Mar-a-Lago resort when both were in power in 2020.
Of course the Premier J6 Plotter is looking out for other coup plotters. One might also presume that if the former leader of another country is accused of rape, that our Sexual-Offender-in-Chief will put tariffs on that country.
Meanwhile, the MAGA Right is getting into a frenzy over Superman because he's an immigrant. Maybe those white-sheet-wearing snowflakes ought to get a fucking clue. Being an alien has been Superman's origin story since Action Comics #1, but the MAGA-lunatics love to forget everything that contradicts their Fox-News-generated worldview.
Shall we recap? Kal-El is an illegal immigrant/refugee from another planet, he came here without a visa, he snuck over the border, and he stands for truth, justice, and the American way.
Of course the Right hates him.

Certainly anyone who has the power to make you believe absurdities has the power to make you commit injustices. If you do not use the intelligence with which God endowed your mind to resist believing impossibilities, you will not be able to use the sense of injustice which God planted in your heart to resist a command to do evil. Once a single faculty of your soul has been tyrannized, all the other faculties will submit to the same fate.
Voltaire
