Senator FlΓ‘vio Bolsonaro, son of former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro and a hopeful presidential contender in a few months, fired his marketing chief last week. He has been maneuvering for days to desperately obtain a photograph that, he believes, could pull him out of the crisis that has shaken his campaign.

Since Donald Trumpβs return to the White House, Brazilβs relationship with the United States has swung up and down like a roller coaster. It has been improving slowly and only through intense Brazilian diplomacy, but at any moment it can deteriorate rapidly again with a new blow from Washington. βWe cannot accept the way the United States has treated Brazil this week,β President Luiz InΓ‘cio Lula da Silva declared on Wednesday at a cabinet meeting in BrasΓlia. Lula was referring to the Trump administrationβs threat to impose new tariffs days after the U.S. designated two Brazilian criminal gangs as terrorist organizations. The left-wing president has again wrapped himself in the national flag and accused the Bolsonaros β former right-wing president Jair Bolsonaro and his son, the senator FlΓ‘vio Bolsonaro β of being traitors to the homeland for encouraging Trumpβs interference.
