I think he's living in the past when Brazil was not a major player in the world economy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP)

You can assume what you like. There's plenty of evidence that Musk downgrades the X accounts of people who criticize him.

As for Russian collusion: the Mueller report made it clear that one of the charges against Trump would be for obstruction of justice. in particular in the case of Paul Manafort who dealt with Russian intelligence. Trump made it clear to Manafort that a pardon was on the way. And lo and behold, it was. The problelm with the Hunter Biden laptop was that it was released to the public without any independent vetting first. And given who had custody of it, why wouldn't there be suspicion. That said, no evidence of criminal behavior to date has been found on the laptop As for Biden and classified documents; it was his lawyers who informed the Justice dept. Trump asserted in the face of the law that the had the right to those documents. The National Archives negotiated with him for over a year before he agreed to return them. Then it turned out he hadn't returned them. Including highly classified documents. Plenty of evidence to show that he was obstructing justice. And there is no evidence that Biden discussed business with Hunter. Unless you want to hallucinate that the people in some photos are discussing business. Republicans on the House committee tried to get Devon Archer to incriminate Joe Biden, but despite their browbeating he repeatedly said he never heard Joe Biden discussing business matters. In fact, he said that Hunter Biden told people that he had influence over his father when in fact he had none.

You mean a lefty like Laura Loomer? Laura Loomer Slams Elon Musk as Free Speech 'Hypocrite' Over X Censorship Far-right activist Laura Loomer said Elon Musk is retaliating against her by suspending her X account, taking away her verification badge and demonetizing her subscriptions over their feud about foreign work visas. "It's just pure retaliation at this point," Loomer told Newsweek in an interview on Thursday. "I've asked for multiple people to get back to me on this, and nobody's getting back to me." https://www.newsweek.com/laura-loomer-elon-musk-x-twitter-h1b-censorship-2008940

False, She claimed it was illegitimate because of clandestine Russian assistance. She never asserted that the election tallies were false. And she stopped making that claim very soon after the election. Trump is still harping on it in 2025, In fact, apparently, he's requiring the people coming to work in the new adminstration to assert that they believe the 2020 election was stolen.

Tell that to the countries who trade with China. Like Brazil which is the biggest both in size and economy https://tradingeconomics.com/brazil/exports-by-country https://tradingeconomics.com/brazil/imports-by-country

Crossing the border illegally is a misdemeanor. So is jaywalking. I wonder if Trump supporters clutch their pearls every time they see a pedestrian crossing a street when the traffic lights prohibit it.

It's not a question about English usage but rather about fact. If you claim there is evidence, then you should be able to produce it. If you can't or won't, then it's an empty claim.

What happens if China wins?

You mean like the ones that may have existed during the Presidencies of Clinton, Obama, and Biden? You may not believe this, but there some Trump supporters so far gone that they still believe that the 2020 election was stolen.

Outbid? This is about trade. China is a big market for these countries.

Thanks for the empty generalization. Sorry

What number was reported? And by whom?

The only evidentiary value your post has is to show that anybody can allege anything.

Maybe they could invite the Chinese to move in?

Thanks for sharing with us the logical fallacy known as "Post hoc ergo propter hoc" which translates to After this therefor because of this. Another way to put it: correlation does not equal causation.

But that's not the point. It's about the weak leverage the U.S. has to compel South American nations to do its bidding re: China.

It's still far from broke. And in the meanwhile South Americans want to expand their trade with China. Even rightwing Milei of Argentina: Xi Jinping’s ‘strategic patience’ pays off as Argentina's Milei U-turns on China ties President Javier Milei has surprised everyone by changing his approach to the Asian giant.

Has it occurred to you that it might be even worse if not for their efforts?

Of course, they're immune from prosecution. Why wouldn't they be given that they were authorized by the FBI to be there?

Because charities inherently don't tackle the problems of homeless or improving education? Given that you've raised the question, you should do the research and find out for yourself what, if anything, they are doing.

Donald Trump wants to roll back China’s growing footprint in Latin America... But if, or rather when, the pressure does come bearing down, don’t expect all of Latin America to respond the same way. Instead, be prepared for the region to divide less along ideological lines than geographic ones — into a northern half more tightly welded to Washington and a southern half likely to drift, especially if pushed, towards Beijing. https://www.ft.com/content/d2e9255d-21e2-48a8-8c13-01a5899559e2

That's because they were informants. Part of an authorized investigative action.
