O contexto é a live de Jair Bolsonaro sobre Leonardo DiCaprio e sua ajuda às ONGs brasileiras. Não estou solicitando visões políticas sobre o discurso e sim a melhor tradução para a expressão para uma postagem a respeito do assunto em inglês com a maior fidelidade possível. Explicando ao leitor nativo da língua inglesa o que é "pagar mico" para o brasileiro.
