Bolsonaro overwhelmed the opposition and was elected President of Brazil. He was stabbed in the beginning of the campaign and it was pretty serious. It kept him from campaigning but he won an overwhelming victory in this large country.
Turns out he loves America and Israel.
He’s to the Right of President Trump partly because Brazil is a Catholic country. Brazil has the largest number of Catholics in the world. Roman Catholicism has been Brazil’s main religion since the beginning of the 16th century. It was introduced among the Native Brazilians by Jesuit missionaries and also observed by all the Portuguese first settlers. It drives and explains Bolsonaro’s far far right views and ideas. Bolsonaro is far to the right compared to president Trump.
Brazil is tremendously great country. It’s a great country to visit, a great country to live in ad a great commercial country.
Brazil has a more diverse population than America but the diversity is different.
The coffee is to die for. It’s strong, very, very strong and it’ drunk in small cups like espresso cups. It will keep you awake. Sao Paulo, (Saint Paul) is a tremendous big city. There’s an airport, Congonhas in downtown Sao Paulo where there are large International danger triangles on the roofs of nearby buildings to make sure the pilots see the tops of the buildings as they have to fly very close to them to land and Congonhas. there’s a much safer airport but it’s far from the city and the taxi cost to get to downtown Sao Paulo can approach $100 US.
Sao Paulo is worth a visit. It’s a huge, exciting cosmopolitan city with a lot to see and do. Now that Bolsonaro is the president elect it will be even more favorable for Americans but it’s a long long way from America. The direct flight from JFK to Sao Paulo can take 10 hours.
