In a Bizarro-World series of events, the United States under the Trump Administration has assisted a right-wing presidential candidate in Brazil's elections in fleeing to the U.S. after losing the election. The candidate, Bolsonaro, was ordered by the Brazilian Supreme Court to turn over his passport, as he is being investigated for participating in a money laundering scheme alongside another monetary crime. How this is justifiable in any world is bewildering from the perspective of the United States.
