Trump says won’t ‘take sides’ in Brazil election, but calls it a ‘disgrace’

United States President Donald Trump declined to say if he agreed with the outcome of Sunday’s presidential elections in Brazil , but said he thought the contest was a “disgrace”. “I thought the election was a great embarrassment to the people of Brazil,” Trump said in response to a question from a reporter on Thursday morning. “I watched the election. I didn’t take sides. I let it be. I was asked not to take sides by the president, the current president,” he said. “But when I watched what went down in Brazil, it was a disgrace…take a look at the market, I mean their market went down through the floor.
