British comedian-podcaster Cody Dahler released a video on social media claiming Donald Trump “tried and failed” to influence the Brazilian election along with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Dahler began his now-viral video:

“So, you don’t know how this human laxative [shows Trump’s picture] and this vacant-eyed moron who looks like an AI reconstruction of some Anglo-Saxon remains found beneath a car park [shows Zuckerberg’s picture] may have just tried and failed to influence the Brazilian presidential election?”

Cody continued:

“Here’s a quick rundown before you’re told to ‘f**k off’ by the Brazilian electorate as well. On Sunday, Brazil elected the 80-year-old left-winger Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva for the fourth time as president, defeating the far-right candidate Flávio Bolsonaro, who’s the son of the former far-right Brazilian Jair Bolsonaro, who’s currently serving a 27-year jail term for launching a coup in 2022 after he lost that election and plotted to kill Lula, who won it all standard stuff.”

The British comedian sarcastically said that this was “obviously very attractive” to Trump, whom he further described as a “crusty, orange b*llsack.” Cody Dahler mocked that Trump “of course, would never launch a coup himself” while showing images from the January 6, 2021 U.S. Capitol attack.

He claimed that “Trumpty Dumpty” has spent his second term as the “Presid**k” of the USA “trying to free Jair Bolsonaro.” Dahler also recalled that when Jair was on trial last year, the U.S. President called it a “witch hunt” and “threatened to impose 50 percent tariffs on Brazil if they send him to jail.”

“So, they sent him to jail. By which, I mean, they put him under house arrest in his mansion. Oh, another man of the people,” Cody noted.

Exploring further Cody Dahler’s mockery of Trump amid Brazil election drama

Cody Dahler shared his nearly 3-minute-long video across all social media platforms, including Instagram and YouTube, both of which have now earned hundreds of thousands of views and likes. In fact, he offered a summary of his video in his Instagram caption. It reads:

“So, Brazil have rejected the Donald Trump-sponsored far-right candidate in the presidential election, Flávio Bolsonaro, in favour of the veteran left-winger and four-time president Lula in a move that the entire world found to be an incredible relief.”

The caption continued:

“But with evidence that Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta suppressed left-wing content on Instagram during the election and has also been found to have banned the No Kings account in the US, questions remain around whether we have entered a new era of right-wing authoritarian governments being sponsored and possibly imposed by the social media tech bros.”

Mr. Dahler also celebrated Brazil’s “rejection of the far-right lunatics” and Serbia’s “student movement victory over their own authoritarian leader.”

In his video, Cody claimed that when Trump was unable to help Jair Bolsonaro, he turned his attention to his son, Flávio Bolsonaro, to help win the 2026 Brazilian presidential election. The comedian recalled that the U.S. President hosted Flávio at the White House in May, where he “designated two Brazilian criminal gangs as terrorist organizations.”

Dahler explained that Trump’s notion helped Flávio’s “tough-on-crime image” and compared it to what the POTUS did to Venezuela ahead of “kidnapping” their President, Nicolás Maduro.

“After that, Trump slapped more tariffs on Brazil and said he’d only lift them if the White House could gain access to negotiations over the country’s critical minerals and if it would allow Flávio’s dad Jair to run for president. But Brazil told him to f**k off,” the comedian quipped.

Cody Dahler claimed this is where Mark Zuckerberg came in, whom he described as Trump’s “worst dinner party guest” in the last couple of years. The British podcaster insinuated that Zuckerberg had something to do with Lula being unable to “boost his campaign” on Instagram in the week leading up to the Brazilian election, an app which is reportedly used by 70 percent of Brazilians as their “primary source of information.” Meanwhile, Bolsonaro was able to campaign on the platform.

“Something Meta said was an isolated mistake, because they don’t suppress left-wing politicians and movements to protect the interest of Donald Trump… Only, a few days ago, the anti-Donald Trump No Kings movement had their account suspended after trying to increase voter turnout in November midterm elections in the USA, in which Trump is expected to do terribly,” Cody Dahler mocked.

The comedian also cited the University of Rio de Janeiro report that found “paid Instagram ads” encouraging voters to stay at home because of the rain and instead vote online, which Dahler explained was “not possible in Brazil.” According to Cody, the POTUS and Meta allegedly “coordinated an effort” to influence the Brazilian election in favor of Bolsonaro, who would have “freed his coup-loving, far-right-winger father” had he won.

Reuters and TIME also published similar reports about Trump and Meta's alleged interference with the Brazilian election.

In the first round of the election on October 4, Flávio Bolsonaro was leading the polls by 2.2 million votes. Later, during the second round on October 25, both parties reportedly asked for a two-hour extension over voter transport disruption due to bad weather. The request was approved by Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Cristiano Zanin.

Later that day, results revealed that Lula won by 4.4 million votes or 51.8%. Bolsonaro rejected the results and declared the court’s ruling “unacceptable.” He further added:

“It is impossible to recognize the election results, given the circumstances under which things unfolded. We will take legal action. We will ask for this election to be annulled.”

However, his Liberal Party conceded on Monday.

Meanwhile, Lula celebrated his re-election and told supporters on Sunday:

“I can assure you that we are going to change the way we govern this country. We are going to give the people a greater role in our decisions… I won’t speak of national unity, because that doesn’t always fit the reality of this country. No one is obliged to like the elected president, ⁠but he was put in place to govern for everyone.”

Lula gave a shoutout to Brazilian generosity and courage, especially the youth who “took to the streets to defend democracy.”

Thereafter, Flávio Bolsonaro was asked to surrender his passports as part of an ongoing criminal investigation into him for alleged corruption, tax evasion, and money laundering. Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes also barred him from leaving Brazil.

Instead of surrendering his travel documents, Bolsonaro “fled” his country in a private jet. He traveled to Argentina and Ecuador and landed at an executive airport near Miami, Florida, in the United States on Wednesday with his wife and two daughters.

Earlier this month, Trump told reporters he was “very closely” following the Brazilian election as the country and its people were “very important” to him.

On Wednesday, the U.S. President further told reporters at Joint Base Andrews that he “approved” Bolsonaro’s entry into the USA and that Brazil treated him “unfairly.”

“We gave him a pass to come into the country… I think they’re fine people. The election was very strange, and I thought it was terrible. It got bad reviews, and look what happened to their market,” Trump stated.

However, the POTUS said he “wouldn’t get involved” and “didn’t take sides” and knows Bolsonaro a “little bit,” because of his father and former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security shared a statement that Flávio Bolsonaro and his family underwent “inspection” before being granted clearance, in accordance with U.S. immigration law.

In the months leading up to the Brazilian presidential election, Democrats sent letters to Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressing “grave concern” that the Trump administration was trying to “influence” the race between Lula and Flávio in the latter’s favor. However, the White House denied it as “nonsense.”
