    Sorry, I should have been more precise. I don’t think Lula is like Trump. Just the hat shared resemblance with its bold two lines of text and that was odd.

    At this point he’s the only one directly standing up to the US and it’s bs administration. I sure hope other countries take inspiration.

      No worries. It was a valid concern. The key context here is that Lula is trying to reclaim national symbols from far right political opponents that use much less ambiguous slogans such as “brazil above everything, god above everyone”.

        I’m glad he fights with his gloves off. It’s very effective. Right wing populism is insidiously contagious and Bolsonaro is in every way as bad as Trump in the US. Thanks for the insights!
