The fact that he refused to grant MSM any interviews is a very positive sign of the grand global awakening.
People all over the world are realizing we’ve all been hustled and brainwashed for decades.
The other fact that is encouraging is the very slick professionally produced video linked below the story refers to the new president as a fascist. LIke our crooked mSm, Brazil also apparently has its own Antifa

“Congratulations from Latin America’s right-wing leaders began to flow in just minutes after the election results were announced.”———–What?’—Most mentioned are leftists(if not comunists).Global research is(even if i agree with some studies from them) a leftist desinfo operation,as they only blame the right side and do not go into the leftist globalist connection(inside the US and Europe).
