He's right, and it's not just Brazil.
Around the world, at least 31 democratic leaders who committed similar crimes have been jailed or banned from office since 2010. The failure to hold Trump accountable in the US was a unique and systemic failure of our institutions and political culture.

To this day, we don't know whether the Maxwell prosecution, along with the Rudy investigations, were among the things that Bill Barr was trying to kill by firing Geoffrey Berman in 2020.
So Trump has a problem when he's elected last year. What to do about Ghislaine Maxwell, who is appealing her sentence?
First he attempts to put someone who HIMSELF was accused of sleeping w/underaged woman as AG, Gaetz. Then he installed someone who, as FL AG, didn't pursue Epstein herself, Bondi.

All of this is leading to a system that is breaking under the strain.
Case in point, my friend had to file a HABEAS to find out where his client was. She never did show up in the Detainee Locator.
That’s a sign of more and more mistakes being made — and ICE wasn’t great at compliance to start.

Update: my friend was quoted by @thecity.nyc as he waited to find out what happened.
It's two days later and he has no idea where his client is. She was detained on Wednesday morning at a check-in. She's not in the ICE Detainee Locator, and when he's called ICE they refuse to tell him where she is.

36 years ago, the world watched as thousands of ordinary Chinese citizens—unarmed and unafraid—gathered in Tiananmen Square to demand democracy.
While the regime responded with tanks and bullets, it could not crush their courage or silence their call for freedom.

And the Marco Rubio-authored Senate intelligence Committee report is even more brutal and damning.
To review: Putin's intelligence service hacked the DNC email system in '16 to help Trump. In '16, Putin offered Trump a Moscow building development deal. Trump’s '16 campaign chair, Paul Manafort, was in business with a Russian intelligence officer. Those are just the things in the Mueller report.
Trump is certainly acting in the last month, as in his first term, like someone who has some sort of weird special connection to Russia. There is no political upside or significant constituency in the U.S. for subservience to Russia on this level. Many will tolerate it perhaps, but none demand it.
