Trump says Brazil election was 'a disgrace', calls Alaska senate spoiler 'voter fraud'

US President Donald Trump steps up criticism of Brazil's "disgraceful" election, declining to say whether he recognizes leftist Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva as president after right-wing rival Flavio Bolsonaro claimed victory. "I think the election was a disgrace in Brazil," Trump tells reporters when asked if he accepts Lula's victory. Speaking on Alaska, Trump says that he would challenge the senate election result over allegations that the Democratic candidate recruited a man with the same name as her Republican opponent. "If they don't correct this it would be certainly a dishonest election," Trump tells reporters when asked about remarks earlier this week saying he would recognize the results of the US midterms so long as they were "honest."

00:03The President, the election there,
00:04but do you now recognize Lula as the president?
00:06Do you have any intention to talk to him
00:07and congratulate him on that?
00:09The President, I'll talk to him.
00:09I think the election was a disgrace in Brazil.
00:12You're talking Brazil?
00:14The election was a disgrace, I thought.
00:18I don't want to comment it right now,
00:20but I thought the election was a very great embarrassment
00:23to the people of Brazil.
00:25I watched the election.
00:26I didn't take sides.
00:27I let it be.
00:28It's so unfair when you look at that,
00:31but nobody knows what to press.
00:33We've done studies.
00:35Nobody knows.
00:36They have no idea who the Dan Sullivan is.
00:38You have Dan Sullivan, who's a great senator.
00:42You have another guy named Dan Sullivan,
00:44who never even, I think, voted before.
00:48He didn't campaign.
00:49He was just put there as a fraud.
00:53But people aren't going to know that.
00:55So nobody is going to know what to do.
00:57That's a fraud, and it shouldn't be allowed to happen.
01:00And it was done in conjunction with Schumer and everybody else.
01:04It's an absolute, it's called voter fraud.
01:06You would respect the election results
01:08if they're honest elections.
01:10In your view, what constitutes an honest election?
01:12Well, I think what they do, if they don't correct this,
01:15it would be certainly a dishonest election.
01:18If they don't correct it.
01:19Do you think you're saying the people are sorry?
