RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — After months of touting an unproven anti-malaria drug as a treatment for the new coronavirus, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro is turning himself into a test case live before millions of people as he swallows hydroxychloroquine pills on social media and encourages others to do the same.
The best thing that could happen to Brazil right now is this guy croaking…They had 44000 new cases and 1200 deaths yesterday. And the only thing this clown can think of is to make a show of using an already debunked remedy.
Hey President Bolsonaro… you are doing it all wrong, you don’t swallow them, you insert the pills in a dog treat, beam UV light on it, dip it in bleach and the use it as a suppository…
These guys like Trump, and Bolsonaro, and whatever that crater-faced guy in the Philippines is named, are a kind of Hegelian synthesis of criminal con man, performance artist, and death cult leader.
Notice pictures of Bolsonaro: he’s perpetually got that scowling, nasty look that is his failed impression of the archetypal “man of destiny.” And, like Trump, when he smiles, it comes off as a sadistic sneer.
