Disgraced former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro arrived back home in Brazil in on Thursday, three months after fleeing to Florida ahead of the expiry of his term following his defeat to returning leftist President Luiz Lula, the AP reports. The “Trump of the Tropics” was greeted by hundreds of fans in Brasilia, the capital city they trashed in a tantrum on January 8th in a scene very much reminiscent of their American compatriots’ rampage at the US Capitol two year and two days earlier.
Bolsonaro faces multiple criminal investigations on everything from his post-election loss coup plot to his alleged theft of state gifts like jewels from Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bonesaw.
