Brazilian leftists minimize Lula’s failure in the meeting with Joe Biden in the US

Without having any way to justify the failure of Lula (PT, progressive-globalist) during his meeting with the president of the United States, Joe Biden, and to minimize scenes of intimacy between Biden and the first lady, Janja, Petistas (PT party) used social networks to highlight the entry of the USA in the Amazon Fund.

A result considered “disappointing” even for Brazilian delegation members that helped spread the narrative of the “return” of Brazil’s international relations.

Despite the hype made by the militant press around the meeting of Lula (PT) with Biden last Friday (Feb. 10), what has been viral on social networks are scenes of the two presidents talking disinterestedly and memes with intimate approaches between Janja and Biden, accused of committing harassment in various situations involving diplomatic meetings.

"It is too good to see Lula being humiliated in front of the world. Every cuckold has the woman he deserves," said one profile commenting on a meme highlighting the closeness of Biden and Janja. (Photo internet reproduction)

Before traveling to the US, Lula said he would discuss with Biden, a model for “worldwide regulation” of the press and a way to “defeat” conservatives through a “narrative” technically designed to criminalize patriotism and Christian discourse.

The petista’s idea was to attract Biden into a global coalition against what he usually calls the “extreme right”.

Apparently, without success, the only official announcement made by Lula after the meeting was that the USA would contribute 50 million dollars to the Amazon Fund, an organization maintained mainly by Germany and Norway and accused of promoting fraudulent schemes by NGOs.

With nothing to highlight from Lula’s trip to the US, the profile Pragmatismo Político appealed to the Petista’s “solidarity” with journalists waiting for him in the cold.

“After leaving the meeting with President Joe Biden at the White House, Lula showed solidarity with the journalists waiting outside in the cold. Civility has returned,” said the profile that claims to do “independent journalism.

The lack of attention was not only on the part of the US president. The American first lady, Jill Biden, also canceled a private meeting she would have with Janja.

To avoid the appointment with Janja, Jill Biden claimed to have felt a malaise.

In the absence of the US first lady, Joe Biden was very attentive to Janja, leaving Lula alone at times as he chatted and touched Janja with great intimacy.

“It is too good to see Lula being humiliated in front of the world. Every cuckold has the woman he deserves,” said one profile commenting on a meme highlighting the closeness of Biden and Janja.

“The guy gets off the plane and doesn’t give his hand to his ‘wife’. I’m just telling the story! I’m not insinuating anything,” said another profile.

Then he meets Biden, goes through the door, and leaves his wife behind, then Biden comes and gives his hand to Janja, and they both go in together behind Lula.

The left expects that Lula’s visit to Beijing in March will have concrete results and show the U.S. that the PT player deserves different treatment.
