President Donald Trump's reelection campaign claimed in a series of ads that the administration would "protect" Brazil's famous Christ the Redeemer statue from potential destruction by vandals. This comes as the president has aggressively campaigned against protesters who've torn down or vandalized American monuments and statues.
"The President wants to know who stood with him against the Radical Left," the Facebook and Instagram ads read. Under a photo of the iconic Rio de Janeiro statue, it said "WE WILL PROTECT THIS." It's unclear why the president believes he could protect a monument in a foreign country. The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
gtconway3d Can’t believe he’s not been arrested! How can he go to the vets hospital ! They should not have allowed him there!
Global warming is the biggest threat to this statue. Will the President now fight as hard against global warming as he has fought against BLM?
He is concerned for others. He doesn't want what has happened here to happen in Brazil.
Anybody want to guess how long until someone tells him it’s not in America and he says he was just kidding?
I think maybe he meant the one in Portugal that he now considers part of Indiana by means of sharpie.
Is someone trying to turn it down... or... oh. no one is? oh. okay. Why would that statue IN BRAZIL be of ANY of your concern?! It makes absolutely no sense. The way he manipulates hate in his voters is upseting. SOMEONE DO SOMETHING PLEASE. The world cant take another term.
gtconway3d A statue is just dead stone. Maybe he should think about protecting living people by encouraging them to maskup so they won’t need a slab of headstone.
gtconway3d Next, he’ll protect Bolsonaro from corona!
This the only thing we need to be protecting at this time. trump is a piece of shit.
gtconway3d Really hard to know where to begin commenting on the abject stupidity of this entire notion. One must really be, at most, an idiot or perhaps a moron, to understand. Thus, many trump voters get it.
Pingachoo From what?
gtconway3d Can he even quote one passage from the Bible? This HYPOCRISY is part of what causes atheism.
gtconway3d That idiot probably thinks the statue is in the US.
gtconway3d More lies!
gtconway3d Wait....what?
gtconway3d
gtconway3d Sadly funny the clown show. The joke is on the US citizenry to have voted a burlesque TV reality show as president. Ridiculous!
gtconway3d But not the Amazon rain Forrest from burning right?
gtconway3d 🤣🤣🤣
gtconway3d Hahaha
gtconway3d No one is threatening the statue so this is a red herring.
gtconway3d I heard south america is a popular retirement destination for fascists. Maybe he's announcing his future plans
Is he dropping out and running for President of Brazil? I thought they already had a populist ignoramus. Do they need two?
gtconway3d It’s just a way to rile up ignorant ‘Christians’
Which president?
gtconway3d why would he get involved in Brazil? especially when no one is threatening the statue
gtconway3d Now do the Amazon rain forest.
gtconway3d Maybe we could get their President to meet with ours..something good might come from it
gtconway3d No worries. He’ll probably protect it with the same veracity as he’s protected US citizens... which means he’ll only protect it if there’s a few $ in it for him.
gtconway3d Let’s replace it with Melania—won’t even have to make a cast!
gtconway3d Idiots
gtconway3d Just more daily lunacy.
Comparing statues of murderers and traitors being torn down to a statue of Christ is repugnant. Was he opposed to Hussein’s statue being torn down? What about that naked statute of him? It’s not about erasing the past but not celebrating the evil men in it.
That would be a very expensive statue takedown.
gtconway3d What does the U.S. have to do with a statue in Brazil
gtconway3d Trump: Go to Brazil, stay in Brazil! Adeus, loser!
Let Argentina pay for it, Donald.
Just read the intelligence briefings. Can you start at that basic task at your desk
gtconway3d Lunacy
gtconway3d No Trump statue. For sure.
LisaOKC He makes my head hurt.
gtconway3d Does he understand that it's located in a country in which he has ZERO authority?
gtconway3d Wtf!
runPattirun Trump should go down there and keep an eye on it. That would really prove his greatness. Probably win him the election too. He is going to need the Brazilian vote. whatpandemic
He has lost.his.mind.
He clearly has no idea that this statue is not in the US.
gtconway3d Questions: How? Does dotard plan to send the National Guard? Exactly WHO is he protecting the statue from anyway?
gtconway3d Seriously?.
gtconway3d He’s a liar! The more he speaks/tweets, the dumber he looks. A total embarrassment! POTUS realDonaldTrump WhiteHouse foxandfriends GOP senatemajldr
gtconway3d 🤣🤣
gtconway3d I'm sorry, WHAT? MY TAX DOLLARS ARE NOT GOING TO PROTECT A STATUE IN RIO. PERIOD.
gtconway3d Good new our millenial protesters are not in good enough shape to get up the mountain.....too close to work
twighlight3000 Oh good God. Just ignore the crazy idiot in the White House. He's just squatting until November, when the sheer humiliation of his huge loss will send him screaming naked into the woods, never to be seen again.
gtconway3d Did congress approve that expenditure? That’s not what American pay taxes for.
gtconway3d Unlike the rainforest.
gtconway3d LIBERATE BRAZIL!
gtconway3d What about the Pharaoh's Lighthouse?
gtconway3d That assclown probably thinks the statue is in Memphis somewhere.
gtconway3d Just. Plain. Dumb.
JessicaGirardo Is anyone actually TRYING to knock down Jesus? How about saving some lives here in your own goddamn country? realDonaldTrump
gtconway3d Does he even know how big that thing is? People couldn’t vandalize it if they tried.
gtconway3d
gtconway3d Why? Is it being moved to the U.S.?
gtconway3d He should go there and do that and stay!
gtconway3d
FOTFLMAO!
Little out of his jurisdiction, isn't?
gtconway3d Who is he kidding?
gtconway3d He thinks it’s in Montana
gtconway3d He also said Mexico will pay for the wall and now Americans can’t even get into that country without quarantine
gtconway3d any news yet on where 130,000 american deaths?
gtconway3d Did they think we’d really not know this famous statue was in Rio?
gtconway3d A statue of Jesus is not the same as a slave holding traitor.
How? He can't even protect any in his own country.
gtconway3d Does that mean he’s moving, again? Does he have a golf course there? Is he taking his racist geriatric army down there to circle the golf carts around it?
gtconway3d This is beyond his reach. He wont do nothing to protect american & allied service members. From bounty nor protect americans citizens from covid 19
gtconway3d Brazil is the last place Trump should try to show his face. They're not big fans.
gtconway3d I would love to see how Trump thinks he's going to.protect Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio when he can't even protect our troops from Putin in Afghanistan.
gtconway3d Dumpster goes near that statue and he’ll burst into flames😹
gtconway3d But not our soldiers
gtconway3d Hummm did we acquire Brazil when we bought Iceland?
gtconway3d Ha, I guarantee that anyone dumb enough to vote for trump has no clue Christ the redeemer is in rio
nana4MANY Brazil isn't his country. 🙄
nana4MANY Maybe he should protect America from Putin. Especially the Troops in Afghanistan.
gtconway3d Moron
gtconway3d Maybe he will strap himself to it
gtconway3d Next week he’ll send troops to surround and protect Vatican City and the entire country of Isreal from rogue, left-wing, American anarchists.
What another waste of taxpayer money
gtconway3d SEND IN THE FUCKING MARINES! IF THEY CAN'T PROTECT IT.. WE WILL.
gtconway3d Good, I guess he’s moving! I feel bad for Brazil but hey, he had to go somewhere. 🤣
gtconway3d Here is one untouched...
gtconway3d 🦇 💩 🤪🍊🤡
gtconway3d Can you believe it? The most recognizable, iconic statue in Brazil and Trump, evidently, thought it was going to get spray painted in his back yard.
realDonaldTrump is an international embarrassment.
DebJHolley Huh?
gtconway3d GRRRR! How can he be SO STUPID!! Besides, the statue is safe. The Redeemer wasn't a slave owner.
Why?
gtconway3d Ah, sure. Considering the meat pack companies in the US are watching employees kick the bucket in high numbers from TrumpVirus, and Brazilians own those plants, do you suppose that might be his reason, hoping November 4th, they’ll let him move there to hide from prosecution?
gtconway3d 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
gtconway3d embarrassing
gtconway3d Brazil would throw our mentally-ill president out on his ass.
gtconway3d That mothertrucker can't even protect his face from the cheetos he scarfs down 24/7! Now he gonna protect a statue in a different country?!
gtconway3d Obviously the statue wasn’t mentioned in his PDB. If it was, he wouldn’t even know it exists.
.realDonaldTrump does indeed make such a claim, with the proviso that the statue's head will be replaced with a sculpture of Trump's own head. ChosenOne
gtconway3d
gtconway3d Is he running for president of Brazil? Or is he sticking his nose into business that doesn't concern him. Maybe we could have deported to Brazil.
There must be an offer of asylum from his fellow shambolic petty buffoon.
gtconway3d Trump would do better with the Christ of the Ozarks statue.
gtconway3d Is it time 25thAmendment
gtconway3d Maybe he can move there to protect it. 🙏
gtconway3d Oh good, now I can finally sleep soundly. VoteTrumpOut
gtconway3d Who’s threatening it?
gtconway3d Maybe he’s planning to invade Brazil?
gtconway3d They can have him. He can stand guard.
gtconway3d But I thought he frowned upon getting involved with other countries and their problems? And for them to be doing the same with us? (sarcasm by the way).
gtconway3d Brazil: “Thanks?”
gtconway3d BRAZIL
gtconway3d Hmmmm. That’s in another country. Is he going to run for emperor of the World?
gtconway3d He’s not aware that most of Brazil is Catholic. That is not his base.
gtconway3d 😂😂😉
gtconway3d I think Brazil is one of only a couple of countries that will let him in.
Independent563 🙄
gtconway3d Where does he think that is
gtconway3d That's Brazil problem, not America problem.
gtconway3d Again his brain cell can’t keep up with his mouth!
gtconway3d Later he will issue a press statement pledging to tweet his support for Putin whenever the band Pussy Riots conducts one of stunts/spectacled in the name of Free Speech.
gtconway3d God, he is unravelling. Brazilians are Catholics who actually go to church - unlike him.
gtconway3d is he gonna make brazil pay for it?
gtconway3d no way can this be real....
gtconway3d I had to look and see if this was from theonion
gtconway3d How bout helping to protect the living 1st.
Bizarre
gtconway3d He is so dumb. He thinks its located in the USA.
gtconway3d Maybe we will invade Brazil, and share in their pandemic
gtconway3d Does he understand that’s in a different country?
BrettaApplebaum Brazilians said: No Thanks, We Protect our own Statues.
gtconway3d Is trump's campaign staff that stupid or is this just another distraction from all the stupid things trump has been saying.
gtconway3d Huh?
BrettaApplebaum Puhleeze he’s actually trying to associate Jesus with these atrocious racist! This is blasphemy at best!
gtconway3d How?
gtconway3d Maybe he can join Bolsinaro in sharing the coronavirus too.
gtconway3d Last time I checked, Brazil was not part of the US.
gtconway3d Did he run that by Jair Messias Bolsonaro?
gtconway3d Does he even know where it is.
gtconway3d As an art history major- I find this so hilarious.
gtconway3d Oh geez
gtconway3d Until they let you into Brazil,why don’t you try to do something to protect the people here from the coronavirus. Maybe you’ll find time to also protect our troops from Putin’s bounty or maybe you’ll confront Putin yourself. Maybe in between your golf trips.
gtconway3d According to the Trump campaign, this statue is actually inside Mar a Lago.
gtconway3d Desperation 😂
gtconway3d Trump will also protect all Putin statue's!
gtconway3d It’s not America!
gtconway3d How about if we put Americans first realDonaldTrump?
gtconway3d Imma just going to put this out there... Unless you have mountain climbing gear, you are not going to be able to deface the statue. Pulling it down? Good luck with that.
gtconway3d 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
gtconway3d Maybe a wall? This WH loves walls....barriers...
gtconway3d No longer “worlds police” moving to “worlds statue police”...progress
gtconway3d Give. Him. A. Blank. Map.
gtconway3d They must have very little faith in the intelligence of their base.
gtconway3d Oh thank god. My number one concern of 2020 has been assuaged.
gtconway3d StatueForce SWARM SWARM SWARM !!!! TrumpTheClown
gtconway3d Will Mexico pay for it?
transitplanner Stupidest president ever
lizstl13 Brazil is dealing with the second worse COVID cases due to their own Trump like President, Jair Messias Bolsonaro. He is another criminal and the leading cause of death in Brazil. He’s a big Trump fan. Maybe they can share a cell on Gitmo.
gtconway3d So he googled “Jesus statues” and came up with this BS to try to get the Evangelicals all up in their vapors.
gtconway3d Well, Confederates did flee to Brazil after Lincoln defeated their terrorist action against the USA. And Trump is Jefferson Davis II. AHAhistorians
gtconway3d He can’t save his own people from the coronavirus and he’s saving a statue in Brazil?
gtconway3d oops
gtconway3d 132,000 Americans on US soil are dead from COVID-19- no concern. But realDonaldTrump is vowing to protect a stone statue in Brazil, the country with the second highest rate if COVID after US What a vile man.
It’s like Greenland all over again. 😂
gtconway3d senatemajldr SenateGOP GOP OK, so now the acting President is going to protect monuments in another sovereign country? How? Why? I’m pretty sure now that the front porch light is on, but nobody’s home.
gtconway3d Trump should stand guard personally then he could really be one of the boys from Brazil
gtconway3d Does he know Bolsonaro has covid symptoms?
gtconway3d trumpy, how about just claiming to protect the people who bravely serve your country - or try and at least show that you give just the smallest f**k!
gtconway3d In a separate, sovereign country? Yeah right
gtconway3d Maybe he’s considering a run for office in Brazil after he resigns his current office. He’s done so much for the American ppl it’s only fair he spread himself around.
gtconway3d
gtconway3d FLOTUS do something, your husband is too dense to understand how stupid this is
gtconway3d Why?
gtconway3d Because with Trump, The Impeached, it’s always merikafirst
gtconway3d
gtconway3d Until they find out it’s a catholic christ
gtconway3d I'm sure the Brazilians are thrilled.
gtconway3d Wut?
gtconway3d It’s true, the Republican-truth IS funnier than fiction.
gtconway3d Really? Did the Joker threaten it
gtconway3d 🙄 for infinity
gtconway3d Good to know. realDonaldTrump resign.
gtconway3d
gtconway3d Ummm... nobody is trying to destroy religious statues. That is ,unless you consider statues glorifying a group of racists that lost a war religious symbols 💁🏻♂️
gtconway3d Brazil must be like, We got this one, thanks anyway.
gtconway3d He didn’t know where it was!!!♥️
gtconway3d Oh, wait, it's in Brazil? Damn!
gtconway3d If he apparently can’t protect America’s statues what makes him think he can go to another country and protect their statues?
gtconway3d
gtconway3d I think the statue is safe - Christ didn’t own slaves or fight to preserve slavery.
LoveMyCymba How many slaves did Christ own? 🙄
gtconway3d
gtconway3d What’s that got to do with the US? So glad I’m Canadian with a leader who knows what he’s doing. 🇨🇦🇨🇦
gtconway3d With gun ships and missles. Or maybe just the power of His Love ......(maybe not).
gtconway3d realDonaldTrump when did US become a statue police of the world? Fuck don't have enough going on?
gtconway3d
No money will be transferred unless Fahrenthold does a story on the issue. Trump just says stuff.
gtconway3d Oh Jesus !
gtconway3d Delusions of grandeur. From Orwellian Napoleon to ACTUAL Napoleon...
gtconway3d What about Mickey Mouse?
gtconway3d Geography and hustory have always been hard subjects for Tiny Trump.
gtconway3d And just how the hell is he going to do that please remove this freaking lunatic
gtconway3d Good. Trump can fly on the back of his eagle to Brazil immediately. The sooner the better.
gtconway3d Right, vow to protect the probably least vulnerable statue of Jesus in all the world. And when it stays safe take credit. Brilliant.
gtconway3d
gtconway3d They did not know the statue was in Brazil. They seriously didn't know. 🙄
gtconway3d
gtconway3d What the actual fuck?
gtconway3d He has no say in Brazil, and who threatened the statue there? Trump needs to shut up.
gtconway3d Buh bye! Scram! Good riddance.
gtconway3d Jesus.
gtconway3d I only wish he'd protect the people.
gtconway3d Nope. That’s the other side of Mexico and they won’t let you through.
gtconway3d
gtconway3d Whew! That’s a load off my chest. Lord knows, that’s the most pressing issue facing our country, our hemisphere, our planet right now. TrumpVirusCatastrophe
gtconway3d They’re so stupid.
gtconway3d Did we annex Brazil?
gtconway3d Just who does this brain fart think he is?
gtconway3d OMG...I actually thought this was from The Onion! Unbelievable.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 please tell him to protect his country’s statues, and leave us alone!
Not sure how Trump thinks he's gonna get there, though.
Sounds like realDonaldTrump has anointed himself as ‘King of the World’. Or his minions have. They are all delusional. He can’t even do his job as President of the US.
He is trying to gaining votes from the Brasilian people that is Citizens 😭😭
VulcanPrincess6 Send trump to Brazil today. Please.
GlennKesslerWP Cool. He’s leaving for Brazil today, right?
GlennKesslerWP Damn, that was next after the Statue of Liberty.
It would probably mean more, if there were an attempt to protect actual Brazilians. From their own government.
People is loosing their mind , Brasil should be out of tromps campaign.
Obrigado!
Question: Is Bolsonaro not capable to protect Brazilian Jesus?
Huh? I’m confused.
WTF? Trump in Brazil?
Darn it. I was just going to rip that down.
