SÃO PAULO – President Jair Bolsonaro said this Friday morning that US President Donald Trump “is not the most important person in the world,” according to G1. At the time, Trump’s opponent in the presidential election, Joe Biden, led the vote in two key states and was closer to being elected president of the United States.

Bolsonaro was on the morning of this Friday on a visit to Florianópolis (SC) to accompany the graduation of 650 agents of the Federal Highway Police (PRF).
He was accompanied by the ministers Tarcísio de Freitas (Infrastructure) and André Mendonça (Justice and Public Security) and he was received at the Hercílio Luz airport by the interim governor of Santa Catarina, Daniela Reinehr (without party).
– I am not the most important person in Brazil, just as Trump is not the most important person in the world, as he himself says. The most important person is God, humility must be present among us – declared Jair Bolsonaro.

Joe Biden had, as of Friday afternoon, 253 assured delegates at the Electoral College. Donald Trump, on the other hand, had 214. It takes 270 to be elected president. The Democratic candidate took the lead this morning in Pennsylvania and Georgia, cementing his favoritism to assume the presidency.
If Biden’s victory is confirmed in Pennsylvania, where counting continues and votes yet to be counted are massively in favor of the Democratic Party, he will not need any other state to win the election.
Politics: Trump consolidates influence in the Republican Party
In support of Trump’s re-election, Jair Bolsonaro said Wednesday night that “hope is the last to die” when commenting on the count of the US elections.
The day before, he published a text on his social networks talking about the possibility of “external interference” in Brazil, without making it clear who he was referring to. His son, Congressman Eduardo Bolsonaro, questioned the legitimacy of vote counting in the United States, without any proof or proof, along the same lines that Donald Trump has been adopting.
