Donald Trump Slams Brazil Election As "Rigged" And "Corrupt" After Lula Wins
US President Donald Trump claimed on Monday that Brazil's elections were "rigged" and "so corrupt" after President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva beat Trump's right-wing ally Flavio Bolsonaro. The 45-year-old son of far-right former president Jair Bolsonaro has called for the annulment of a result which denies Trump the South American political map he wanted. "It looked terrible to me," Trump told reporters when asked about the Brazilian election as he left Washington for a campaign rally for next week's US midterm elections. "I didn't take sides but it looked like another rigged election frankly... it was a terrible look for the world."
