Brazilian Supreme Court Issues Harsh 27-Year Sentence For Bolsonaro, Trump Responds
" A shockingly harsh 27+ years in prison was handed down by the Supreme Court of Brazil:
...for plotting a military coup​ and seeking to “annihilate” the South American country’s democracy.
Justices Cármen Lúcia Antunes Rocha and Cristiano Zanin ruled on ​Thursday that Bolsonaro – a former paratrooper who was elected

president in 2018 – was guilty of seeking to forcibly cling to power after losing the 2022 election, meaning four of the five judges involved in the trial had found Brazil’s former leader guilty.
Announcing Bolsonaro’s sentence for crimes including coup d’etat and violently attempting to abolish Brazil’s democracy on Thursday night, the supreme court justice Alexandre de Moraes said: “[He tried to] annihilate the essential pillars of the democratic rule-of-law state ... ​the greatest consequence ​[of which] ... would have been the return of dictatorship to Brazil​.”
President Trump isn't happy with the court's conviction - though there was one dissenting vote. His response: "very much like they tried to do with me but they didn't get away with it"...This could result in unrest in the streets once the verdict is formally handed down."
