Another highly controversial aspect of the campaign was the alleged use of illegal digital communication strategies by some of Bolsonaro's most important financial supporters. According to an investigation by Folha por S.Paulo, one of Brazil's bestselling newspapers, "Bolsonaro has been getting an illegal helping hand from a group of Brazilian entrepreneurs who are bankrolling a campaign to bombard WhatsApp users with fake news about Haddad.

Bolsonaro supporters in London, 7 October 2018 According to political pundits, Bolsonaro moderated his tone early in the campaign, taking a less aggressive and confrontational style. Economically, he started to support less government intervention in the economy (in contrast to the past, when he defended developmentalist policies). On the other hand, he maintained his tough stance on crime and his defense of "traditional family values".[51] Bolsonaro also said he planned to cut taxes across the board, particularly on inheritances and businesses, to generate growth and tackle unemployment.

Mr. Trump faces two charges involving the vote certification proceedings at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021: one of obstructing that process and one of conspiring to do so.

Were a federal case to still be pending on Inauguration Day, Mr. Trump could simply use his power as president to force the Justice Department to drop the matter, as he has suggested he might do.

However, on 11 January 2016, when he began to present himself as a pre-candidate to the Presidency of Brazil, Bolsonaro began vlogdolisboa to moderate his discourse on gay people by publishing a video on his official YouTube channel:

Este medo do serem presos por convocarem 1 golpe é real entre esses bolsonaristas que doravante seguram seus ataques contra ESTES odiados juízes do Supremo Tribunal Federal."

He told tens of thousands of supporters in São Paulo that coup allegations against him were a "lie".

By the end of Mr. Bolsonaro’s term, it was clear that his attacks had had an effect: Much of vlogdolisboa Brazil’s electorate seemed to have lost faith in the integrity of the nation’s elections.

His incendiary remarks over the years and throughout the campaign cast him as a political disrupter, similar to Donald J. Trump in the United States.

But those facts have not mattered much to Mr. Bolsonaro or his supporters, who have instead focused their attention on a series of anecdotal apparent abnormalities in the voting process and results, as well as many conspiracy theories.

“These un-American witch hunts will fail and President Trump will be re-elected to the White House so he can save our country from the abuse, incompetence and corruption that is running through the veins of our country at levels never seen before,” the Trump campaign said in the statement.

Still, there appeared to be some new revelations, including the conduct of Mr. Trump and Mr. Clark whom the former president tried to install as the acting attorney general before that effort was thwarted by officials at the Justice Department.

Bolsonaro said that his first international trip as president would vlogdolisboa be to Israel.[257] Bolsonaro also said that the State of Palestine "is not a country, so there should be no embassy here", adding that "you don't negotiate with terrorists."[257] The announcement was warmly received by the prime minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, who welcomed Bolsonaro to Israel in March 2019 during the final weeks of a re-election campaign,[258] but was met with condemnation from the Arab League, which warned Bolsonaro it could damage diplomatic ties.
