Trump calls Brazil election a 'disgrace' after Bolsonaro flees

President Donald Trump called Brazil's presidential election a "disgrace" on Thursday, one day after his ally, defeated conservative candidate Flávio Bolsonaro, fled the country. Trump made the remarks to journalists before a campaign rally. Bolsonaro left Brazil with his family despite a court order prohibiting him from departing amid a money laundering investigation. He arrived in Miami on Wednesday, declaring himself "the leader of Brazil" and vowing to organize opposition to re-elected President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva from the United States. Trump declined to say who legitimately won the election, stating he did not want to comment at this time. He claimed Lula asked him not to intervene, but cited falling markets as evidence of a "disgraceful situation."
