Bolsonaro Arrives in U.S. and Declares Himself Brazil’s “True President”

Flávio Bolsonaro, Brazil’s defeated right-wing presidential candidate, declared himself the “true president” of Brazil after arriving in Miami, Florida, on October 28, 2026, following a clandestine journey from Argentina with a stop in Ecuador. The far-right senator, who lost the October 25 election to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, issued the claim in a letter hours after landing with his wife and two teenage daughters. He later revised the statement, replacing “true president” with “the leader of Brazil.” In the letter, he thanked U.S. President Donald Trump and Argentina’s president, Javier Milei, for their support.
