‘Tropical Trump’

Jair Bolsonaro is a 63-yearold far-right former army captain. He is referred to as ‘Tropical Trump’ for his politically incorrect vitriol. He is known for bombastic quips demeaning women, gays and people of colour. Bolsonaro has been denounced by everyone from Madonna to former Brazilian president Fernando Henrique Cardoso. He is a powerful supporter of agribusiness — one of the pillars of his political platform — and is likely to favour profits over preservation.
