Jair Bolsonaro's claims of mass election fraud are part of a playbook reflecting his deep ties to Trump and other American election deniers.

He suggested that Bolsonaro should have acted on the report while he was still in power. Trump, also hurt by his conflicting message on covid-19, lost his reelection and claimed the election was stolen — a message that Bolsonaro and his son focused on, prodded in part by Trump’s advisers. “I don’t remember him saying going to Disney was the fourth option,” Tyrmand said. A director at Project Veritas, the right-wing group known for its sting operations, Tyrmand in an interview with The Post on Monday invoked Bolsonaro’s prediction from 2021 that he had three options — being killed, arrested or reelected. When Jair Bolsonaro was elected in 2018, he credited the win in part to his closeness to the U.S. Election fraud claims were seized upon by both Bolsonaro’s supporters and Trump’s allies after the first round of voting in October left Bolsonaro behind Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. At the same conference, Donald Trump Jr., appearing by video, said that if people didn’t think China was trying to undermine Brazil’s election, “you haven’t been watching,” according to a [according to visitor logs ](https://twitter.com/kyledcheney/status/1612175739897389056/photo/1)released by the House committee investigating the Jan.

In more recent months, Bannon has used his “War Room” podcast to stoke claims of fraud in Bolsonaro’s loss and insist that proof of systematic cheating was at hand. In their joint news conference, Bolsonaro and Trump spoke so similarly that their favorite phrases sometimes overlapped, with both men professing unity against what they called “fake news.” The parallels between Trump and Bolsonaro show how an anti-democratic ideology embraced by Trump has been exported abroad and enlisted by foreign leaders and their allies.
