But he makes America look good?

Jair Bolsonaro’s Model Isn’t Berlusconi. It’s Goebbels. 

"He wants criminals to be summarily shot rather than face trial. He presents indigenous people as 'parasites' and also advocates for discriminatory, eugenically devised forms of birth control. Bolsonaro has warned about the danger posed by refugees from Haiti, Africa, and the Middle East, calling them 'the scum of humanity' and even argued that the army should take care of them."

"He regularly makes racist and misogynistic statements. For example, he accused Afro-Brazilians of being obese and lazy and defended physically punishing children to try to prevent them from being gay. He has equated homosexuality with pedophilia and told a representative in the Brazilian National Congress, 'I wouldn’t rape you because you do not deserve it.'”
