The Bloomberg article from September 7, 2025, touts Lula da Silva’s pre-Independence Day speech as a fiery defense of Brazilian sovereignty, insisting the nation takes no orders from outsiders and belongs only to “the Brazilian people.” What a joke. This is pure leftist spin to cover Lula’s iron-fisted rule, where he tramples the very people he pretends to champion while cozying up to foreign powers like China. The real story—buried in the article’s shadows—is the massive public backlash on September 7 itself, where tens of thousands of true patriots marched in São Paulo and beyond, hoisting a gigantic American flag sky-high and waving signs screaming “Thank you, Trump!” and “SOS Trump.” These aren’t fringe radicals; they’re everyday Brazilians fed up with Lula’s tyranny, seeing President Trump as their last hope against a regime that’s sold out the nation.
Lula’s sovereignty sermon? It’s a blatant lie. He’s the one interfering in every corner of Brazilian life, unleashing his pet Supreme Court—led by the despotic Alexandre de Moraes—on political foes like Jair Bolsonaro. Raids, ankle monitors, social media blackouts: that’s not justice, it’s a witch hunt to crush dissent. And don’t get me started on the “tax slavery” strangling the economy. That May 2025 IOF tax grab? Congress slapped it down 383-98, but Lula sicced his court cronies on it, forcing through hikes that bleed workers and businesses dry. His approval? In the toilet—plunging under 40% earlier this year, with polls showing more Brazilians despise him than back him. The people he calls “owners” want him gone, not lecturing them from his palace.
Those Independence Day protests tell the truth the Bloomberg hacks won’t touch: a sea of green and yellow under that massive Stars and Stripes, chanting for Trump’s tariffs and sanctions as divine intervention. Trump’s 50% smackdown on Brazilian exports and his freeze-out of Moraes aren’t aggression—they’re a lifeline, punishing Lula’s election meddling and censorship that echo the worst of socialist dictatorships. Signs thanking Trump weren’t irony; they were raw gratitude from folks terrified Brazil’s turning into Venezuela 2.0 under Lula’s watch. He pivots to Beijing with 30+ shady deals, sells out to communists for cash, but cries foul when America fights back? Hypocrite. The American flag waving high wasn’t surrender—it was a roar for liberty, a middle finger to Lula’s fake nationalism.
Lula respects no sovereignty but his own. He’s a power-hungry relic, using the judiciary as his personal Gestapo and taxes as chains. Trump’s brought real hope to Brazilians—hope for fair elections, free speech, and a government that serves the people, not enslaves them. The protests prove it: the Brazilian spirit isn’t Lula’s to command. It’s rising, flag in hand, demanding freedom now.
