Since the beginning of his term, Bolsonaro has been attacking Brazil's main trading partners simply because their leaders are not aligned with the far right. He’s attacked China, Brazil's largest trading partner, the United States, the second largest, Argentina, the third largest, and nearly the entire European Union. From insulting the French president's wife to almost causing a diplomatic incident with China in the middle of the pandemic, the president offends all the leaders he considers enemies - which is many people.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, the entire world depended on masks and other instruments from China to supply its hospitals and protect frontline healthcare workers. Later, vaccines were developed, and most were also produced in China. In other words: China was a strategic partner for ANY country during the pandemic. In this context, Bolsonaro, his children, ministers, advisers, and his supporters (funded with public money, by the way) spent the entire pandemic attacking China, sometimes to divert attention from their lack of competence, to fuel bizarre conspiracy theories raised by supporters about the origin of the. Pandemic. As a result, our relations with China were weakened, which led to delays and difficulties in purchasing Covid-19 vaccines – and, several times, we were on the verge of a diplomatic incident.

In 2019, Bolivia suffered a coup d'état. After the opposition did not acknowledge the results of the elections, the military "suggested" the resignation of the president of Bolivia, who had been re-elected for a new term. Subsequently, Jeanine Añez, a far-right Bolivian politician, declared herself president of the country, a position she held until 2020. Bolivia's recent history is very similar to what Bolsonaro plans for Brazil. Maybe that's why his government has, from the beginning, supported and recognized the coup-plotter government of Jeanine Añez – some even suspect that he played an active role in the coup through which she became.

In 2021, after losing the presidential elections, Jeanine Añez was arrested for conspiring against the democratic order of her country. And nowadays, Bolsonaro is terrified that the same will happen to him. Time and again, he mentions that he will not end up like Jeanine, and he has already offered political asylum to the far-right politician here in the country – and she has not accepted it.

During the most significant pandemic of the last 100 years, Bolsonaro thought it would be a good idea to confront the WHO. While taking the country to the top of the ranking of deaths from covid-19, he spread disinformation and conspiracies about the WHO, encouraging people to ignore the recommendations of health authorities and listen to those who said that covid-19 was a minor disease, easily curable with drugs against lice or malaria – his attitudes have caused thousands of deaths.

Unable to dialogue with democracies not aligned with the far right around the world, Bolsonaro has only become closer to conservative leaders whose governments are marked by xenophobia, anti-human rights policies, authoritarianism, and religious intolerance. Jair Bolsonaro's statements about non-aligned heads of state are always linked to the false idea that other nations are left-wing nations. Meanwhile, his government continues to break the country's diplomatic traditions, substantiating its actions on obsolete ideological guidelines and a total lack of pragmatism. As a result, Brazil is now diplomatically isolated and is seen as a global pariah.

In 2020, after losing the election, Donald Trump began to make a series of attacks against the electoral system, claiming to have been the victim of fraud. His coupist speech prompted his supporters in January 2021 to storm into the Capitol to disrupt President-elect Joe Biden's certification.

Going the opposite direction of the world, Bolsonaro endorsed Donald Trump's false allegations of fraud, supported the coup attempt, and was one of the last world leaders to recognize Joe Biden's victory. He plans to do the same here in the country, spreading lies about the electoral system and trying to create a scenario where elections are questioned if he is defeated.
