“Everything now is the pandemic. We have to put a stop to that. I’m sorry for all those who have died, I am sorry. All of us are going to die one day. Everyone is going to die one day. There is no point in escaping from that, escaping from reality. We have to stop being a country of sissies.”–Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, castigating his country–with a bit of homophobia to boot–over a lack of tourism due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Brazil remains one of the most disrupted countries on Earth due to Bolsonaro’s handling of the outbreak, with almost half a million people infected and 163,000 dead of the disease. Bolsonaro survived the coronavirus in July, and has repeatedly downplayed the danger of the virus.

Trump is similar in his abusive remarks. Good riddance.

A nation being ‘led’ by a narcissist a la Trump. Yes, we all will die one day – that is no reason to encourage suicidal or murderous behavior by playing down the importance of masking and social distancing. It is his right to commit suicide if he so chooses – it is not his right to lie about the virus or how best to protect ourselves and each other. Like Trump, this man is not fit to hold high office.

BETTER A LIVE SISSY THAN A DEAD MACHO… PENDEJOS – IT’S ALL ABOUT ME… SOCIETY.

Guys, stop spreading this false information. I’m from Brazil and that’s not what he meant with that statement. I’ve said it before, “maricas” is a slang for “coward”. Ironically enough, he wound’t have the balls to say such thing about the whole nation. Nevertheless, it was a very offensive and stupid thing to say. And “dannyboi2”, “Mr-Dj”; we appreciate the sentiment, we hate him as well, but we don’t speak Spanish here. No offense.

No matter if he said sissy or not as he has used homophobia before and probably will again. He is a horrible person and to be so unfeeling about peoples deaths proves he should never have been elected and will be very hard for them to get out. Sissy’s and cowards have a good sense of survivlal and we survived the Aids plague and we will survive this because we arent stupid enough to think acting macho protects you from a virus
