I’m amazed at how much power he has but it’s probably inevitable that the banks will fold.

If the banks fold every brazilian will pay the price...

Maybe this is the only way to encourage defense of free speech and fair politics in other countries.

I believe that.
People who protested this judge-king's totalitarian censorship went to jail for 15+ years. Any protest of this court is judged as an "attack on democracy" despite the fact not a single person voted for these judges. It's some kind of surreal newspeak.
Trump is the only person in the world doing something about these despots. I waited years for these sanctions and I hope he keeps it up. Sanctioning just 1 guy is not nearly enough, he should sanction the entire court and everybody connected to them.
I just hope the rest of the government won't allow these judges to burn the country down just to maintain some silly pretense of "sovereignty".
