Finally the giant Brazil makes a statement (even if its in portuguese) hahhaha Makes my day!

P.S. the rest of the Americas thinks he is a giant empty headed joke. With the exception of that Venezuelan politician who grifted him the Nobel.

1. That's true but I'd go even further - Trump has no concept of governing.

To him everything is a real estate deal or a TV game show or social media content. There is no separate reality apart from those constructs. He's doing a deal or he's trying to get on TV or he's shitting out what passes for content on his fake Twitter. He's not living in the real world at all, where governing a country is actually a thing.

2. none whatsoever

he needs to be strapped to a gurney and taken for evaluation.
There is absolutely no valid output from this clown at all. And to think of the talking heads of this nation pausing for even a second to consider him a valid source is ludicrous. Why does it go on as business as usual is beyond my reasoning...omg.

3. Glad he is calling it Twitter

instead of “X”.

4. I could be wrong...

But I think it says that he "wants to rule the world by twitter."

governar o mundo means rule the world, I think.

Somebody correct me, my Portuguese is VERY limited.
